Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
