[Cast off for thy unfaithfulness]
For the Lord hath called thee as a woman, &c.
—liv. 6–8.
Cast off for thy unfaithfulness,
Thy God had left thee in distress,
A wife of youth condemn'd to mourn;
But scattering all thy grief and pain,
Thy Husband comforts thee again,
I bid thee to My arms return.
I frown'd for a small moment's space,
Hid in a little wrath My face,
But will with mercies great receive;
I will thy full Redeemer come,
Gather thee to thine heavenly home,
And everlastingly forgive.
