8: And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9: And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.


Jeremiah 3:10-15 for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart...Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah...say, Return, thou backsliding Israel... and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever...

Jeremiah 3:17-19 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD...In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel...

Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal.... Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God... truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel...we have sinned against the LORD our God ... and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

20: Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
21: A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22: Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
23: Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24: For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25: We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

Matthew 5:27-32 (Adultery, To look is to lust .... Fornication)

27: Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29: And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30: And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31: It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
