John Trapp on Jeremiah 3:12

Ver. 12. Go and proclaim theſe words toward the North] i. e, Toward Aſſyria and Media, into which Countries the ten tribes had been carryed captive. And although they cannot hear thee, yet in time this prophecy may be brought to their hearing: and the men of Judah, mean while, may be wrought upon thereby.

And I will not cauſe mine anger to fall upon you] Heb. I will not make my face to fall: I will not further frown upon you, or deal hardly with you.

I will not keep anger for ever] Heb. I will not keep for ever. There is nothing that a man is more ready to keep than his wrath. Therefore the Hebrews put keep, for keep wrath; ſo Pſal. 103.9. Levit. 19.18. See Ver. 5.
