Jeremiah 3:9-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

9And because of the thoughtlessness of her prostitution, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees. 10Yet in spite of all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to Me with all her heart, but rather in deception,' declares the Lord.
11And the Lord said to me, 'Faithless Israel has proved herself to be more righteous than treacherous Judah.
12Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say, ‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord; ‘I will not look at you in anger. For I am gracious,’ declares the Lord; ‘I will not be angry forever.
King James Version

Chapter 3

9And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 10And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord. 11And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. 12Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.

Chapter 3

9Indifferent to her prostitution, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.
10Yet in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah didn’t return to me with all her heart —only in pretense." This is the Lord’s declaration.
11The Lord announced to me, "Unfaithful Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
12Go, proclaim these words to the north, and say, ‘Return, unfaithful Israel. This is the Lord’s declaration. I will not look on you with anger, for I am unfailing in my love. This is the Lord’s declaration. I will not be angry forever.
New Living Translation

Chapter 3

9Israel treated it all so lightly — she thought nothing of committing adultery by worshiping idols made of wood and stone. So now the land has been polluted. 10But despite all this, her faithless sister Judah has never sincerely returned to me. She has only pretended to be sorry. I, the Lord, have spoken!'
11Then the Lord said to me, 'Even faithless Israel is less guilty than treacherous Judah!
12Therefore, go and give this message to Israel. This is what the Lord says: 'O Israel, my faithless people, come home to me again, for I am merciful. I will not be angry with you forever.
