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 YY .
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto YY , and he will have mercy upon him; and to our Elohim, for he will abundantly pardon.
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Yisrael, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
It may be that the house of Yhudah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
I have seen also in the prophets of Yerushalayim an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
