Notes

Jeremiah 3:13

acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled...and have not obeyed My voice: Through these three steps of repentance, people can show their willingness to receive the Lord’s salvation and restoration (Leviticus 26:40; Deuteronomy 30:1–5).

Jeremiah 3:11–4:2

The Lord asked Israel to repent, return, and reconcile with him (contrast Jeremiah 2:1–3:10). Israel had sinned and faced punishment. Now, the people of Judah sinned even more openly than their northern relatives, ignoring the lesson the Lord taught Israel (Ezekiel 16:51–52). However, it was still not too late to repent and become the blessing to the nations (Jeremiah 4:1–2) that God intended them to be (Genesis 12:3).
