Jeremías 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 3:11

And the Lord said unto me
To the Prophet Jeremiah, as in ( Jeremiah 3:6 ) and at or about the same time: the backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous
Judah;
that is, was comparatively more righteous; of the two she appeared the most righteous; though neither of them could vindicate their conduct, or justify themselves before God; see ( Luke 18:14 ) . Judah was most to blame, because that after Israel committed idolatry, and was carried captive, she took no warning by it, but fell into the same sin; and in Manasseh's time committed greater idolatries, and more wickedness, than ever Israel did; and more than even the Amorites themselves, and other Heathen nations, had done, ( 2 Kings 21:6-11 ) and though a reformation was made in Josiah's time, it was only feignedly, it was not cordial and hearty; and therefore she is all along here charged with perfidy and treachery.

Jeremías 3:11 In-Context

9 Israel no lo tomó en serio y no le parece nada fuera de lo común cometer adulterio al rendir culto a ídolos hechos de madera y de piedra. Así que ahora la tierra se ha corrompido.

10 Sin embargo, a pesar de esto, su infiel hermana Judá nunca ha vuelto a mí de corazón, solo fingió estar apenada. ¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!».

11 Esperanza para la rebelde Israel
Luego el Señor
me dijo: «¡Hasta la infiel Israel es menos culpable que la traidora Judá!

12 Por lo tanto, ve y dale este mensaje a Israel.
Esto dice el Señor
:
»“Oh Israel, mi pueblo infiel,
regresa otra vez a mí,
porque yo soy misericordioso.
No estaré enojado contigo para siempre.

13 Solo reconoce tu culpa;
admite que te has rebelado contra el Señor
tu Dios
y que cometiste adulterio contra él
al rendir culto a ídolos debajo de todo árbol frondoso.
Confiesa que rehusaste oír mi voz.
¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!
