Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Go--not actually; but turn and proclaim towards the north (Media and Assyria, where the ten tribes were located by Tiglath-pileser and Shalmaneser, 2 Kings 15:29; 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:9, 2 Kings 18:11).
Return . . . backsliding--Hebrew, Shubah, Meshubah, a play on sounds. In order to excite Judah to godly jealousy (Romans 11:14), Jehovah addresses the exiled ten tribes of Israel with a loving invitation.
cause . . . anger to fall--literally, "I will not let fall My countenance" (compare Genesis 4:5-6; Job 29:3), that is, I will not continue to frown on you.
keep--"anger" is to be supplied (see on Jeremiah 3:5).
