Jeremiah3:8
Ver. 8. And I ſaw] That which others could not ſo eaſily diſcern; viz. their hypocriſie and hollow-heartedneſſe, their incorrigibleneſſe alſo and refuſing to he warned by what had befallen their brethren. God looked that Iſraels corrections ſhould have been Jeruſalems inſtructions, and that by their laſhes ſhe ſhould have been leſſoned: which becauſe ſhe was not, he is highly diſpleaſed, and ſpeaks of it here in a very angry dialect.
Yet her treacherous ſiſter Judah feared not] But ſlighted the kindneſs of ſuch a caution, and deſpiſed the counſel that was written to her in her ſiſters blood.
But went and played the harlot alſo] Being therefore the worſe, becauſe ſhe ſhould have been the better of the two.
