I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૩:૮
મેં એ પણ જોયું કે, મારો ત્યાગ કરનાર ઇઝરાયલે વ્યભિચાર કર્યો, તે જ કારણથી મેં તેને હાંકી કાઢી હતી. મેં તેને છૂટાછેડા પ્રમાણ પત્ર આપ્યા હતા. તેમ છતાં, તેની વિશ્વાસઘાતી બહેન યહૂદિયા ડરી નહિ, તેણે પણ વ્યભિચાર કર્યો.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ३:८
फिर मैंने देखा, जब मैंने भटकनेवाली इस्राएल को उसके व्यभिचार करने के कारण त्याग कर उसे त्यागपत्र दे दिया; तो भी उसकी विश्वासघाती बहन यहूदा न डरी, वरन् जाकर वह भी व्यभिचारिणी बन गई।

In context

6Moreover, the LORD said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has played the prostitute there.

7I said after she had done all these things, ‘She will return to me;’ but she didn’t return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

8I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.

9Because she took her prostitution lightly, the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with wood.

10Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says the LORD.
