And you, O generation, behold the word of the LORD.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
  or a land of thick darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘We are free,
  we will come no more to you’?
Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
  or a bride her attire?
Yet my people have forgotten me
  days without number.

“How well you direct your course
  to seek love!
So that even to wicked women
  you have taught your ways.
Also on your skirts is found
  the lifeblood of the guiltless poor;
you did not find them breaking in.
  Yet in spite of all these things
you say, ‘I am innocent;
  surely his anger has turned from me.’
Behold, I will bring you to judgment
  for saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
How much you go about,
  changing your way!
You shall be put to shame by Egypt
  as you were put to shame by Assyria.
From it too you will come away
  with your hands on your head,
for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust,
  and you will not prosper by them.

3:1 “If a man divorces his wife
  and she goes from him
and becomes another man's wife,
  will he return to her?
Would not that land be greatly polluted?
You have played the whore with many lovers;
  and would you return to me?
declares the LORD.
Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see!
  Where have you not been ravished?
By the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers
  like an Arab in the wilderness.
You have polluted the land
  with your vile whoredom.
Therefore the showers have been withheld,
  and the spring rain has not come;
yet you have the forehead of a whore;
  you refuse to be ashamed.
Have you not just now called to me,
  ‘My father, you are the friend of my youth—
will he be angry forever,
  will he be indignant to the end?’
Behold, you have spoken,
  but you have done all the evil that you could.”

“‘Return, faithless Israel,
declares the LORD.
I will not look on you in anger,
  for I am merciful,
declares the LORD;
I will not be angry forever.
Only acknowledge your guilt,
  that you rebelled against the LORD your God
and scattered your favors among foreigners under every green tree,
  and that you have not obeyed my voice,
declares the LORD.
Return, O faithless children,
declares the LORD;
  for I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
  and I will bring you to Zion.

“‘I said,
  How I would set you among my sons,
and give you a pleasant land,
  a heritage most beautiful of all nations.
And I thought you would call me, My Father,
  and would not turn from following me.
Surely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband,
  so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel,
declares the LORD.’”

A voice on the bare heights is heard,
  the weeping and pleading of Israel's sons
because they have perverted their way;
  they have forgotten the LORD their God.
“Return, O faithless sons;
  I will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to you,
  for you are the LORD our God.
Truly the hills are a delusion,
  the orgies on the mountains.
Truly in the LORD our God
  is the salvation of Israel.

4:1 “If you return, O Israel,
declares the LORD,
  to me you should return.
If you remove your detestable things from my presence,
  and do not waver,
and if you swear, ‘As the LORD lives,’
  in truth, in justice, and in righteousness,
then nations shall bless themselves in him,
  and in him shall they glory.”

“Break up your fallow ground,
  and sow not among thorns.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD;
  remove the foreskin of your hearts,
  O men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem;
lest my wrath go forth like fire,
  and burn with none to quench it,
  because of the evil of your deeds.”

“Blow the trumpet through the land;
  cry aloud and say,
‘Assemble, and let us go
  into the fortified cities!’
Raise a standard toward Zion,
  flee for safety, stay not,
for I bring disaster from the north,
  and great destruction.
A lion has gone up from his thicket,
  a destroyer of nations has set out;
  he has gone out from his place
to make your land a waste;
  your cities will be ruins
  without inhabitant.
For this put on sackcloth,
  lament and wail,
for the fierce anger of the LORD
  has not turned back from us.”

Behold, he comes up like clouds;
  his chariots like the whirlwind;
his horses are swifter than eagles—
  woe to us, for we are ruined!
O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil,
  that you may be saved.
How long shall your wicked thoughts
  lodge within you?
For a voice declares from Dan
  and proclaims trouble from Mount Ephraim.
Warn the nations that he is coming;
  announce to Jerusalem,
“Besiegers come from a distant land;
  they shout against the cities of Judah.
Like keepers of a field are they against her all around,
  because she has rebelled against me,
declares the LORD.
Your ways and your deeds
  have brought this upon you.
This is your doom, and it is bitter;
  it has reached your very heart.”

76:1 In Judah God is known;
  his name is great in Israel.
His abode has been established in Salem,
  his dwelling place in Zion.
There he broke the flashing arrows,
  the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.     Selah

Glorious are you, more majestic
  than the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
  they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
  were unable to use their hands.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
  both rider and horse lay stunned.

But you, you are to be feared!
  Who can stand before you
  when once your anger is roused?
From the heavens you uttered judgment;
  the earth feared and was still,
when God arose to establish judgment,
  to save all the humble of the earth.     Selah

Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
  the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.
Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them;
  let all around him bring gifts
  to him who is to be feared,
who cuts off the spirit of princes,
  who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

My son, fear the LORD and the king,
  and do not join with those who do otherwise,
for disaster will arise suddenly from them,
  and who knows the ruin that will come from them both? (ESV)
