Notes

  • But they rebelled: See also Isaiah 1:2, 4; 59:1–15; Psalms 78, 106.

  • Persistent disobedience and unbelief grieved God's Holy Spirit (Psalm 106:33; Matthew 12:32; Mark 3:29).

  • became their enemy: Examples include Israel’s period of wandering in the wilderness (see the book of Numbers), the period of the judges (see the book of Judges), and the period leading up to the exile (see the book of Jeremiah).

The prophet reflects on Israel’s past, how God showed his unfailing love and how his people alternatively rebelled against him, suffered hardship, returned to the Lord, and experienced his blessing.
