NASB | Jeremiah 3:8 "And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jeremiah 3:8 "And I saw [that even though Judah knew] that for all the acts of adultery (idolatry) of faithless Israel, I [the LORD] had sent her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid; but she went and was a prostitute also [following after idols]. |
Bible Question: What is different here (that causes divorce) rather than, say, the golden calf situation after leaving Egypt? Why does God use divorce here rather than many situations in the past? |
Bible Answer: Surely because Josiah was God's last attempt to plead with His people. Once they had failed to respond in the long run to his reforms their fate was sealed. They would be offered no more chances. It was now not just separation, it was final divorce because of their adultery with idols. See the whole passage |
