6 At the time when Yoshiyah (Josiah) was king of Yehudah (Judah), Yahweh asked me, “Do you see what faithless Yisrael has done? She herself has walked up every high hill, and has been a prostitute underneath every green tree.[ref] 7 However I thought that after she’d done all those things, she’d return to me, but she hasn’t, and her treacherous sister, Yehudah, saw her. 8 So I saw that because of all those situations where faithless Yisrael had committed adultery, I had given her divorce notice to her and sent her away. But her sister Yehudah, acting treacherously, wasn’t worried and she went out and also prostituted herself. 9 Because she took her prostitution lightly, the nation became immoral and committed adultery with standing stones and trees. 10 Then after all that, that treacherous sister Yehudah didn’t return to me with sincerity, but with deception. That is Yahweh’s declaration.
