The LORD’s word about a man who puts away his wife
아내를 버리는 사람을 두고 이르신 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 3:1–5: “They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says the LORD. “Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat waiting for them by the road, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness. Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed. Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth!’? “‘Will he retain his anger forever? Will he keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way.” The Korean Revised Version sets the formula in the middle of 3:1 (나 여호와가 말하노라), asks at 3:1 내게로 돌아오려느냐, a question, where WEB reads “yet return again to me”, gives the questions of 3:5 in the second person as part of the cry of 3:4 (노를 한 없이 계속하시겠으며 끝까지 두시겠나이까 하지 않겠느냐), and closes 3:5 with 하시니라.
