²⁵ Do not run until your feet are bare
    and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!^(A)
    I love foreign gods,^(B)
    and I must go after them.’^(C)

3 “If a man divorces^(A) his wife
    and she leaves him and marries another man,

    Would not the land be completely defiled?^(B)
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers^(C)—
    would you now return to me?”^(D)
declares the Lord.
