Jeremiah 3:20

Jeremiah 3:20 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

20But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,

so you, Israel, have been unfaithful to me,”

declares the Lord.

20“However, as a woman treacherously leaves her lover,

So you have dealt treacherously with Me,

House of Israel,” declares the Lord.

20“Surely, as a wife treacherously (unfaithfully) leaves her husband,

So you have dealt treacherously with Me,

O house of Israel,” says the Lord.

20But as a woman may betray her husband,

so you have betrayed Me, O house of Israel,”

declares the Lord.

20Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah.

20But as a woman rebelleth against her husband: so haue yee rebelled against me, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord.

20“Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel,” says Yahweh.

20But you people are like a woman who is not faithful to her husband.

Israel, you have not been faithful to me,”

announces the Lord.

20But you, Israel, have gone away from me,

like a woman who leaves her husband.

You have not been faithful to me.’

That is what the Lord says.

20But a woman has deceived her friend, || So you have dealt treacherously with Me, || O house of Israel,” || A declaration of YHWH.
