After the death of King Josiah, the last righteous king, the nation of Judah had almost completely abandoned God and His commandments. Jeremiah compares Judah to a prostitute (Jeremiah 2:20; 3:1-3).
Pagkatapos ng kamatayan ni haring Osias, ang huling mabuting hari ng Juda, halos iniwan ng lubusan ng mga tao ang Diyos at ang Kanyang mga Salita. Inihambing ni Osias ang Juda isang patutot (Jeremias 2:20; 3:1-3).
