Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - And I said after she had done, etc.; rather, and I said, After she hath done all these things, she will return unto me. And her treacherous sister. Observe the distinction between the two sisters. Israel had openly broken the political and religious connection with Jehovah (Hosea 8:4); Judah nominally retained both, but her heart was towards the false gods (comp. the allegory in Ezekiel 23, which is evidently founded upon our passage).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) And I said . . .--The call to Israel to return had been slighted, and Judah, the traitress or faithless, "one with falsehood," had not taken warning from the sin or its punishment.Turn thou unto me.--The verb may be either the second or third person, I said, thou shalt return; or, I said, she will return, as expressing a hope rather than a direct return. The latter seems, on the whole, the preferable rendering.
