    how I would set you among my sons,
and give you a pleasant land,
    a heritage most beauteous of all nations.
And I thought you would call me, My Father,
    and would not turn from following me.
20 Surely, as a faithless wife leaves her husband,
    so have you been faithless to me, O house of Israel,

because they have perverted their way,
    they have forgotten the Lord their God.
