(Jer 3, 4-10) You who are the bridegroom of my youth
[4] Even now do you not call me, "My father, you who are the bridegroom of my youth"? [5] "Will he keep his wrath forever, will he hold his grudge to the end?" This is what you say; yet you do all the evil you can. [6] The LORD said to me in the days of King Josiah: See now what rebellious Israel has done! She has gone up every high mountain, and under every green tree she has played the harlot. [7] And I thought, after she has done all this she will return to me. But she did not return. Then, even though her traitor sister Judah saw [8] that for all the adulteries rebellious Israel had committed, I put her away and gave her a bill of divorce, nevertheless her traitor sister Judah was not frightened; she too went off and played the harlot. [9] Eager to sin, she polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and wood. [10] With all this, the traitor sister Judah did not return to me wholeheartedly, but insincerely, says the LORD.
