Chap. III.
Idolaters (and other sinners) are inuited to repent, with promise of remission:
6. but neither the kingdome of Israel, nor Iuda wil returne.
14. God stil calling; some Iewes, and manie Gentiles come to Christ.
-- --
1 It is commonly said: If a man put away his wife, and
she departing from him, marie an other man wil he returne
to her anie more? shal not that woman be polluted, and
contaminated? note but thou hast committed fornication with
manie louers: neuertheles returne vnto me, saith our Lord,
and I wil receiue thee.
2 Lift vp thine eies direct: and see
where thou hast not bene polluted: thou didest sitte in the
waies, expecting them as a robber in the wildernes: and thou
hast polluted the land in thy fornications, and in thy malices.
3 For which thing the droppes of rayne were kept back, and
there was no lateward shower: thou haddest an harlots forehead,
thou wouldest not blush.
4 Therefore at the least from
henceforth cal me: thou art my father, the guide of my virginitie.
5 Why, wilt thou be angrie for euer, or wilt thou perseuere
vnto the end? Loe, thou hast spoken, and hast done euils,
and hast preuailed.
6 And our Lord said to me in the daies of
Iosias the king: Hast thou seene what thinges the reuolter note Israel
hath done? she hath gone of herself vpon euerie high
mountaine, and vnder euerie thicke greene tree, and hath fornicated
there.
7 And I said, when she had done al these thinges:
Returne to me, and she returned not. And note Iuda her transgressing
sister saw,
8 because the rebel Israel had plaied the
harlot, I had put her away, and geuen her a bil of diuorce: and
Iuda her transgressing sister was not afrayd, but went and
plaid the harlot also herself.
9 And with the facilitie of her
fornication she contaminated the land, and plaid the harlot
with stone and wood.
10 And in al these thinges Iuda her transgressing
sister hath not returned to me in her whole hart, but
in falsehood, saith our Lord.
11 And our Lord said to me: The
rebellious Israel hath iustified her soule, note in comparison of
the transgressour Iuda.
12 Goe, and crie these wordes against
the North, and thou shalt say: Returne ô rebellious Israel,
saith our Lord, and I wil not returne away my face from you:
because I am holie, saith our Lord, and I wil not be angrie for
euer.
13 But yet know thou thine iniquitie, that thou hast
transgressed against the Lord thy God: and thou hast dispersed
thy waies to strangers vnder euerie thicke greene tree, and
hast not heard my voice, saith our Lord.
14 Returne ô ye reuolting
children, saith our Lord: because I am your husband:
and I wil take you one of a citie, and two of a kinred, and wil
bring you into Sion.
15 And I wil geue you pastours according
-- --
to my hart, and they shal feede you with knowlege and doctrine.
16 And when you shal be multiplied, and increase in
the land in those daies, saith our Lord, they shal say no more:
The Arke of the testament of our Lord: neither shal it ascend
vpon their hart, neither shal they be mindeful thereof, neither
shal it be visited, neither shal that be done anie more.
17 In that time Ierusalem shal be called the throne of our
Lord: and note al Gentiles shal be gathered together to it, in the
name of our Lord into Ierusalem, & they shal not walke after
the peruersitie of their most wicked hart.
18 In those daies
the house of Iuda shal goe to the house of Israel, and note they
shal come together from the land of the North to the land,
which I gaue to your fathers.
19 But I said: How shal I make
thee as children, and geue thee a land worthie to be desired,
the goodlie inheritance of the hostes of the Gentiles? And I
said: Thou shalt cal me father, & shalt not cease to walke after
me.
20 But as if a woman should contemne her louer, so
hath the house of Israel contemned me, saith our Lord.
21 A voice was heard in the waies, weeping & howling of the
children of Israel: because they haue made their way vniust,
they haue forgotten our Lord their God.
22 Returne ye reuolting
children, and I wil heale your reuoltinges. Behold we
come to thee: for thou art the Lord our God.
23 In verie deede
the litle hilles were lyars, and the multitude of the mountaines:
verily in the Lord our God is the saluation of Israel.
24 Confusion
hath eaten the labour of our fathers from our youth, their
flockes, and their heards, their sonnes, and their daughters.
25 We shal sleepe in our confusion, and our ignominie shal couer
vs, because we haue sinned to the Lord our God, we, and
our fathers from our youth euen to this day: and we haue not
heard the voice of the Lord our God.
