Jeremiah 3:11
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And the LORD said to me, “Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than unfaithful Judah.
In context
9 Indifferent to her own infidelity, Israel had defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.
10 Yet in spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to Me with all her heart, but only in pretense,” declares the LORD.
11 And the LORD said to me, “Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than unfaithful Judah.
12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north: ‘Return, O faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will no longer look on you with anger, for I am merciful,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will not be angry forever.
13 Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every green tree and have not obeyed My voice,’” declares the LORD.
