Jeremiah 3:5
_ _ he — “thou,” the second person, had preceded. The change to the third person implies a putting away of God to a greater distance from them; instead of repenting and forsaking their idols, they merely deprecate the continuance of their punishment. Jeremiah 3:12 and Psalms 103:9, answer their question in the event of their penitence.
_ _ spoken and — rather (God’s reply to them), “Thou hast spoken (thus), and yet (all the while) thou hast done evil,” etc.
_ _ as thou couldest — with all thy might; with incorrigible persistency [Calvin]. |
