In a long and searing allegory, Jerusalem is pictured as an abandoned newborn whom God found, cleansed, adorned, and made His beautiful bride, only for her to play the harlot with every passing nation and even sacrifice her children to idols. God announces judgment for her shameless unfaithfulness, yet ends astonishingly with a promise to remember His covenant and establish “an everlasting covenant,” atoning for all she has done.
