ஒரு புருஷன் தன் மனைவியைத் தள்ளிவிட, அவள் அவனிடத்திலிருந்து புறப்பட்டுப்போய் அந்நியபுருஷனுக்கு மனைவியானால், அவன் அவளிடத்தில் இனித் திரும்பப்போவானோ? அந்த தேசம் மிகவும் தீட்டுப்படுமல்லவோ என்று மனுஷர் சொல்லுவார்கள்; நீயோவென்றால் அநேக நேசரோடே வேசித்தனம்பண்ணினாய்; ஆகிலும் என்னிடத்திற்குத் திரும்பிவா என்று கர்த்தர் சொல்லுகிறார்.
