1He saith the same of their turnings back: but he here better expresseth that which he had said before in general, of their revolt from Gods service and obedience: therefore here he specifies one kind of wickedness; as if he had said, We need not now call for thine accuser, or for witnesses; or for a Judge to pronounce sentence: thy only turnings back will suffice (in stead of all these) as sufficient to condemn thee.

He adds in the next words, Thou shalt know and prove how evil and bitter a thing it is, to have forsaken the Lord thy God. These phrases of speech are somewhat sharp; but we told you before what they signify; namely, thy revolting, or forsaking, that is to say, thy treacherous disloyalties; to wit, in that thou hast forsaken thy God.
