Notes

Judah and Israel would join others traveling to Jerusalem. The Lord would kindly bring them back from exile and settle them in the Promised Land again (Jeremiah 31:8; Isaiah 11:13; Ezekiel 37:16–22; Hosea 1:11; Amos 9:15).

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).
