Jeremiah 3:22 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

Return, ye backsliding children - Yahweh's renewed invitation (Jeremiah 3:12; Jeremiah 3:14) and their immediate response.

Heal - forgive (2 Chronicles 30:18; 2 Chronicles 30:20; Hosea 14:4, "I will heal their backsliding, I will love them, freely").

Behold, we come unto thee - rather, 'in obedience to thee;' literally, for thee (Rosenmuller.)
