Jeremiah 3:9
_ _ it — Some take this verse of Judah, to whom the end of Jeremiah 3:8 refers. But Jeremiah 3:10 puts Judah in contrast to Israel in this verse. “Yet for all this,” referring to the sad example of Israel; if Jeremiah 3:9 referred to Judah, “she” would have been written in Jeremiah 3:10, not “Judah.” Translate, “It (the putting away of Israel) had come to pass through ... whoredom; and (that is, for) she (Israel) had defiled the land” etc. [Maurer]. English Version, however, may be explained to refer to Israel.
_ _ lightness — “infamy.” [Ewald]. Maurer not so well takes it from the Hebrew root, “voice,” “fame.” |
