Book Synopsis
In Jeremiah 3.1-4.4, the prophet employs the image of Israel as God's unfaithful wife, who acts like a prostitute. The entire passage is a rich and complex rhetorical tapestry designed to convince the people of Israel of the error of their political and religious ways, and of the need for them to change before it is too late.

Trade Review
'Surely as a faithless wife leaves her husband, so you have been faithless to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord.'
