God has divorced Israel: the Israelite are no longer 'the Chosen People of God'
This is on account of their idol worship, breaking their covenant with God, killing many prophets and messengers of God
and their transgression on other God's servants.
The most important reason for such divorce was the betrayal: Israel betrayed her Lord: they worshiped the idols and stars of the sky .. God simulated that like the adulterating wife who betrayed her husband: so he divorce her forever.
Book of Jeremiah, chapter 3:
“6- And the Lord said to me in the days of King Josiah: Have you seen what rebellious Israel has done? She has gone of herself upon every high mountain and under every green tree and has played the harlot there.
7- And when she had done all these things, I said: Return to me. And she did not return. And her treacherous sister Juda saw.
8- That because the rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce: yet her treacherous sister Juda was not afraid, but went and played the harlot also herself.
9- And by the facility of her fornication she defiled the land and played the harlot with stone and with stocks.”
