3 “If a man divorces^(A) his wife
    and she leaves him and marries another man,
should he return to her again?
    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.

²² “Return,^(A) faithless people;
    I will cure^(B) you of backsliding.”^(C)

“Yes, we will come to you,
    for you are the Lord our God.
