Jeremiah 3:1 meaning and explanation
“If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him to marry another, can he ever return to her? Would not such a land be completely defiled? But you have played the harlot with many lovers— and you would return to Me?” declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 3:1, Berean Standard Bible
