Commentary on Jeremiah 3:10

Theological / Devotional

Whole heart. The reformation under Josiah (v. 6) was a mere outward turning to God. At heart the people still clung to their idols. After the king’s death they lapsed into open idolatry (2 Kings 23:31, 32; 2 Chron. 36:5–8).

Feignedly. Literally, “in falsehood,” or “in deception.” Judah acted a lie in her pretended reformation.
