Vers. 20. Truly as a woman dealeth ill, and disloyally with her* companion: that is to say, when she carries her self perfidiously towards her husband, in departing away from him, so have ye behaved your selves disloyally towards me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.

- *or husband.
HE confirms that which he said in the beginning of the former verse. For there he showed, that it should be a very hard matter for the Jews to recover that which they had lost, and to be created again, as if they had been a new people: he adds the reason, to wit, because they resembled an adulterous woman, as he spake before, in vers. 13. And yet would he not leave them utterly hopeless: he only insists upon these two points: first, that they acknowledge §1and confess their faults from their hearts; and that they be inwardly touched in themselves with true remorse for them: secondly, that they hasten to §2Gods free mercies for the obtaining of pardon, which he doth not so much for their sakes, to wit, in regard of the Israelites, as in respect of those which were his own country-men, and among whom he lived.
