25 Hold your foot back from [becoming] barefoot, and your throat from thirst.+ But you proceeded to say, ‘It is hopeless!+ No, but I have fallen in love with strangers,+ and after them I am going to walk.’+

3 There is a saying: “If a man* should send away his wife* and she should actually go away from him and become another man’s, should he return to her anymore?”+

Has that land* not positively been polluted?+

“And you* yourself have committed prostitution with many companions;+ and should there be a returning to me?”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

20 ‘Truly [as] a wife* has treacherously gone from her companion,+ so YOU, O house of Israel, have dealt treacherously with me,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.”

3 And Jehovah went on to say to me: “Go once again, love a woman loved by a companion*+ and committing adultery,* as in the case of Jehovah’s love for the sons of Israel+ while they are turning to other gods*+ and are loving raisin cakes.”+
