절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Sin and Shame The Lord said to the people of Israel: If a divorced woman marries, can her first husband ever marry her again? No, because this would pollute the land. But you have more gods than a prostitute has lovers. Why should I take you back?	They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord.
2	Just try to find one hilltop where you haven't gone to worship other gods by having sex. You sat beside the road like a robber in ambush, except you offered yourself to every passerby. Your sins of unfaithfulness have polluted the land.	Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3	So I, the Lord, refused to let the spring rains fall. But just like a prostitute, you still have no shame for what you have done.	Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4	You call me your father or your long-lost friend;	Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5	you beg me to stop being angry, but you won't stop sinning.	Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6	The Asks Israel To Come Back to Him When Josiah was king, the Lord said: Jeremiah, the kingdom of Israel was like an unfaithful wife who became a prostitute on the hilltops and in the shade of large trees.	The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7	—	And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8	I knew that the kingdom of Israel had been unfaithful and committed many sins, yet I still hoped she might come back to me. But she didn't, so I divorced her and sent her away. Her sister, the kingdom of Judah, saw what happened, but she wasn't worried in the least, and I watched her become unfaithful like her sister.	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.
9	The kingdom of Judah wasn't sorry for being a prostitute, and she didn't care that she had made both herself and the land unclean by worshiping idols of stone and wood.	And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10	And worst of all, the people of Judah pretended to come back to me.	And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.
11	Even the people of Israel were honest enough not to pretend.	And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12	Jeremiah, shout toward the north: Israel, I am your Lord— come back to me! You were unfaithful and made me furious, but I am merciful, and so I will forgive you.	Go 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.
13	Just admit that you rebelled and worshiped foreign gods under large trees everywhere.	Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.
14	You are unfaithful children, but you belong to me. Come home! I'll take one or two of you from each town and clan and bring you to Zion.	Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15	Then I'll appoint wise rulers who will obey me, and they will care for you like shepherds.	And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16	You will increase in numbers, and there will be no need to remember the sacred chest or to make a new one.	And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17	The whole city of Jerusalem will be my throne. All nations will come here to worship me, and they will no longer follow their stubborn, evil hearts.	At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18	Then, in countries to the north, you people of Judah and Israel will be reunited, and you will return to the land I gave your ancestors.	In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19	I have always wanted to treat you as my children and give you the best land, the most beautiful on earth. I wanted you to call me “Father” and not turn from me.	But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20	But instead, you are like a wife who broke her wedding vows. You have been unfaithful to me. I, the Lord, have spoken.	Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
21	The People Confess Their Sins / The said: Listen to the noise on the hilltops! It's the people of Israel, weeping and begging me to answer their prayers. They forgot about me and chose the wrong path.	A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22	I will tell them, “Come back, and I will cure you of your unfaithfulness.” They will answer, “We will come back, because you are the Lord our God.	Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
23	On hilltops, we worshiped idols and made loud noises, but it was all for nothing— only you can save us.	Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
24	Since the days of our ancestors when our nation was young, that shameful god Baal has taken our crops and livestock, our sons and daughters.	For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25	We have rebelled against you just like our ancestors, and we are ashamed of our sins.”	We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.
