Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 3:13

_ _ Only acknowledge — (Deuteronomy 30:1, Deuteronomy 30:3; Proverbs 28:13).

_ _ scattered thy ways, etc. — (Jeremiah 2:25). Not merely the calves at Beth-el, but the idols in every direction, were the objects of their worship (Ezekiel 16:15, Ezekiel 16:24, Ezekiel 16:25).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 3:12-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 3:13

Strangers — To other gods, or to idols, running here and there up and down.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 3:13

Only acknowledge thy iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast (p) scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

(p) There was no way which you did not hunt to seek after the idols, and to go on a pilgrimage.
