GOD'S MERCY NOTWITHSTANDING JUDAH'S VILENESS. (Jer. 3:1-25)
They say--rather, as Hebrew, "saying," in agreement with "the LORD"; Jeremiah 2:37 of last chapter [MAURER]. Or, it is equivalent to, "Suppose this case." Some copyist may have omitted, "The word of the Lord came to me," saying.
shall he return unto her--will he take her back? It was unlawful to do so (Deuteronomy 24:1-4).
shall not--Should not the land be polluted if this were done?
yet return-- (Jeremiah 3:22; Jeremiah 4:1; Zechariah 1:3; compare Ezekiel 16:51, Ezekiel 16:58, Ezekiel 16:60). "Nevertheless," etc. (see on Isaiah 50:1).
