This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_3:11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
Ver. 11. The backsliding Israel hath justified herself.] That is, she is less guilty and faulty of the two; because Judah sinned against more means and mercies, and because she received not instruction by her sister’s destruction; therefore shall she feel what she feared not at a distance; therefore shall she taste of Israel’s rod because she would not hear it; she that would not tremble at her sister’s divorce, must herself be divorced, and be judged as "women that break wedlock," {Eze_16:38} "bearing her own shame for her sins that she had committed, more abominable than theirs." {Eze_16:52}
