American King James Version
"And it came to pass through the lightness of her prostitution, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. "
— Jeremiah 3:9, American King James Version
“And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.”
“And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks. ”
“It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.”
“Because she took her prostitution so lightly, she defiled the land through her adulterous worship of gods made of wood and stone.”
“And by the facility of her fornication she defiled the land, and played the harlot with stones and with stocks.”
“So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.”
“And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.”
The LORD said also to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.
And I said after she had done all these things, Turn you to me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
And it came to pass through the lightness of her prostitution, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says the LORD.
And the LORD said to me, The backsliding Israel has justified herself more than treacherous Judah. ¶
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Israel, says the LORD; and I will not cause my anger to fall on you: for I am merciful, said the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
