Jeremiah 3:9
Compare all
7 aAnd I said, after she had done all these things, ‘Return to Me.’ But she did not return. And her treacherous bsister Judah saw it.  
8 Then I saw that afor all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had bput her away and given her a certificate of divorce; cyet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.  
9 So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she adefiled the land and committed adultery with bstones and trees.  
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me awith her whole heart, but in pretense,” says the Lord.  
11 Then the Lord said to me, a“Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.  
12 Go and proclaim these words toward athe north, and say:
‘Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am bmerciful,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not remain angry forever.

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."
