But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 8: And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. 9: And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. |
