God is still by the prophet inculcating the same thing upon this
careless people, and much in the same manner as before, by a type or
sign, that of the dealings of a husband with an adulterous wife. In this
chapter we have,
- I. The bad character which the people of Israel now had; they were, as is said of the Athenians (Acts 17:16), "wholly given to idolatry,' (v. 1).
- II. The low condition which they should be reduced to by their captivity, and the other instances of God's controversy with them (v. 2-4).
- III. The blessed reformation that should at length be wrought upon them in the latter days (v. 5).
