Who rule you with intelligence and wisdom.ġ6 “And this is what will happen: You will increase and prosper in the land. I’ll give you good shepherd-rulers who rule my way, This one from the city, these two from the country. Pulling strangers into the sex-and-religion groves Face north toward Israel and say:Īdmit to your promiscuous life with casual partners, And not once in all this did flighty sister Judah even give me a nod, although she made a show of it from time to time.” God’s Decree.ġ1-12 Then God told me, “Fickle Israel was a good sight better than flighty Judah. She took up cheap sex-and-religion as a sideline diversion, an indulgent recreation, and used anything and anyone, flouting sanity and sanctity alike, stinking up the country. She went out, big as you please, and took up a whore’s life also. But that didn’t faze flighty sister Judah. She also saw that because of fickle Israel’s loose morals I threw her out, gave her her walking papers. Her flighty sister, Judah, saw what she did. Meanwhile you keep sinning nonstop.” Admit Your God-DefianceĦ-10 God spoke to me during the reign of King Josiah: “You have noticed, haven’t you, how fickle Israel has visited every hill and grove of trees as a whore at large? I assumed that after she had gotten it out of her system, she’d come back, but she didn’t. Why not now?Īre you going to keep up your anger nonstop?’ Then you have the nerve to call out, ‘My father! You carry on as if you’ve done nothing wrong. You’ve camped out like hunters stalking deer.īut it doesn’t even faze you.
