- "The LORDª saidª° also unto¹ me in the daysª of Josiahª the king,ª Hast thou seenª° [that] which¹ backslidingª Israelª hath done?ª° she¹ is gone upª° upon¹ every¹ highª mountainª and underª every¹ greenª tree,ª and there¹ hath played the harlot.ª°" {Jer 3:6} + "And I saw,ª° when¹ for¹ all¹ the causesª whereby¹ backslidingª Israelª committed adulteryª° I had put her away,ª° and givenª°¹ her¹ a billª of divorce;ª yet her treacherousª° sisterª Judahª fearedª° not,¹ but went²°¹ and played the harlotª° also.¹" {Jer 3:8} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ me, The backslidingª Israelª hath justifiedª° herselfª more than treacherousª°¹ Judah.ª ... Goª° and proclaimª°¹ these¹ wordsª toward the north,ª and say,ª° Return,ª° thou backslidingª Israel,ª saithª° the LORD;ª [and] I will not¹ cause mine angerª to fallª° upon you: for¹ I¹ [am] merciful,ª saithª° the LORD,ª [and] I will not¹ keepª° [anger] for ever.ª" {Jer 3:11-12} + "Turn,ª° O backslidingª children,ª saithª° the LORD;ª for¹ I¹ am marriedª° unto you: and I will takeª° you oneª of a city,ª¹ and twoª of a family,ª¹ and I will bringª° you to Zion:ª" {Jer 3:14} + "Return,ª° ye backslidingª children,ª [and] I will healª° your backslidings.ª Behold,¹ we comeª° unto thee; for¹ thou¹ [art] the LORDª our God.ª" {Jer 3:22} + "But they hearkenedª° not,¹ nor¹ inclinedª°¹ their ear,ª but walked²°¹ in the counselsª [and] in the imaginationª of their evilª heart,ª and went¹ backward,ª and not¹ forward.ª" {Jer 7:24} + "Moreover thou shalt sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Shall they fall,ª° and not¹ arise?ª° shall he turn away,ª° and not¹ return?ª° ... I hearkenedª° and heard,ª° [but] they spake¹ not¹ aright:²°¹ no¹ manª repentedª° him ofª his wickedness,ª saying,ª° What¹ have I done?ª° every one¹ turnedª° to his course,ª as the horseª rushethª° into the battle.ª" {Jer 8:4-6} + "O LORD,ª though¹ our iniquitiesª testifyª° against us, doª° thou [it] for thy name's² sake:¹¹ for¹ our backslidingsª are many;ª° we have sinnedª° against thee." {Jer 14:7} + "Wherefore¹ gloriestª° thou in the valleys,ª thy flowingª° valley,ª O backslidingª daughter?ª that trustedª° in her treasures,ª [saying], Who¹ shall comeª° unto¹ me?" {Jer 49:4} + "For¹ Israelª slideth backª° as a backslidingª° heifer:ª now¹ the LORDª will feedª° them as a lambª in a large place.ª" {Hsa 4:16} + "And my peopleª are bentª° to backslidingª from me: though they calledª° them to¹ the most High,ª none at allª¹ would exaltª° [him]." {Hsa 11:7} + "I will healª° their backsliding,ª I will loveª° them freely:ª for¹ mine angerª is turned awayª° from¹ him." {Hsa 14:4} + "But they refusedª° to hearken,ª° and pulled¹ awayª²°° the shoulder,ª and stoppedª° their ears,ª that they should not hear.ª°¹" {Zch 7:11}
