Jeremiah 3 is the third chapter of the Book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. Chapters 2 to 6 contain the earliest preaching of Jeremiah on the apostasy of Israel.[1]
Text
The original text of this chapter, as with the rest of the Book of Jeremiah, was written in Hebrew language. Since the division of the Bible into chapters and verses in the late medieval period, this chapter is divided into 25 verses.
Textual versions
Some ancient witnesses for the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008).[2]
There is also a translation into Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BC. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).[3]
Parashot
The parashah sections listed here are based on the Aleppo Codex.[4] Jeremiah 3:1-5 is a part of the Second prophecy (Jeremiah 2:1-3:5), whereas Jeremiah 3:6-25 is a part of the Third prophecy (Jeremiah 3:6-6:30); both are in the section of Prophecies of Destruction (Jeremiah 1-25). {P}: open parashah; {S}: closed parashah.

Structure
Verses 1 to 5 continue Jeremiah's first prophecy, commenced in chapter 2. Verses 6 to 18 may be considered as a separate prophecy, the first prophecy then resuming with verse 19.[5]
Verse 1
- They say,
- If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's,
- shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted?
- but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers;
- yet return again to me,
- saith the Lord.[6]
Verse 3
- Therefore the showers have been withheld,
- And there has been no latter rain.
Jeremiah's thoughts are strongly connected with Deuteronomy 11:13–14:
- And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain.
The Septuagint text is completely different:
- And thou didst retain many shepherds for a stumbling-block to thyself: thou hadst a whore's face, thou didst become shameless toward all.[7]
Verse 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.[8]
The Masoretic text reads:
- אכן לשקר מגבעות המון הרים
- אכן ביהוה אלהינו תשועת ישראל׃
