Fragment 13: From a manuscript of the writings of Justin

He speaks not of the Gentiles in foreign lands, but concerning [the people] who agree with the Gentiles, according to what is spoken by Jeremiah: “It is a bitter thing for you, that you have forsaken me, says the Lord your God, that long ago you broke your yoke, and tore apart your bands, and said, I will not serve You, but will go to every high hill, and under every tree, and there I will become dissolute in my fornication.”
