- Why:
- "How¹ canst thou say,ª° I am not¹ polluted,ª° I have not¹ goneª° afterª Baalim?ª seeª° thy wayª in the valley,ª knowª° what¹ thou hast done:ª° [thou art] a swiftª dromedaryª traversingª° her ways;ª" {Jer 2:23} + "Why¹ gaddest¹ thou about²° so muchª to changeª°¹ thy way?ª thou also¹ shalt be ashamedª° of Egypt,ª¹ as¹ thou wast ashamedª° of Assyria.ª¹" {Jer 2:36} + "They say,ª° If¹ a manª put awayª°¹ his wife,ª and she goª° from¹¹ him, and become¹ anotherª man's,ª shall he return¹ unto¹ her again?²°¹ shall not¹ that¹ landª be greatly²° polluted?ª° but thou¹ hast played the harlotª° with manyª lovers;ª yet return¹ again²° to¹ me, saithª° the LORD.ª ... Lift upª° thine eyesª unto¹ the high places,ª and seeª° whereª thou hast not¹ been lienª°²° with. In¹ the waysª hast thou satª° for them, as the Arabianª in the wilderness;ª and thou hast pollutedª° the landª with thy whoredomsª and with thy wickedness.ª" {Jer 3:1-2} + "Upon¹ a loftyª and highª° mountainª hast thou setª° thy bed:ª even¹ thither¹ wentest thou upª° to offerª° sacrifice.ª ... Thou art weariedª° in the greatnessª of thy way;ª [yet] saidstª° thou not,¹ There is no hope:ª° thou hast foundª° the lifeª of thine hand;ª therefore¹¹ thou wast not¹ grieved.ª°" {Isa 57:7-10} + "For¹ their motherª hath played the harlot:ª° she that conceivedª° them hath done shamefully:²°¹ for¹ she said,ª° I will go²°¹ afterª my lovers,ª° that giveª° [me] my breadª and my water,ª my woolª and my flax,ª mine oilª and my drink.ª ... And she shall follow²° after¹¹ her lovers,ª° but she shall not¹ overtakeª° them; and she shall seekª° them, but shall not¹ findª° [them]: then shall she say,ª° I will go²°¹ and returnª° to¹ my firstª husband;ª for¹ then¹ [was it] betterª with me than now.ª¹" {Hsa 2:5-7} + "And I will visitª° upon¹ her¹ the daysª of Baalim,ª wherein¹ she burned incenseª° to them, and she deckedª° herself with her earringsª and her jewels,ª and she went²°¹ afterª her lovers,ª° and forgatª° me, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Hsa 2:13}
