They dealt treacherously] The Greek renders it,1 they have despised me; they have forsaken me, and chosen other lovers, and left me; even as a woman leaves her own husband to whom she was engaged and goes to other men. It notes, the hearts joining to some other rather than God, so as to be willing to leave the Lord, and either out of affection to some other, or for private advantage, to forsake God and his Cause, to promote and further that which is against God. The Notes of Observation from the words are these.

That it is Gods goodness that he will please to enter into Covenant Obs. 1 with such poor creatures as we are. It is made an aggravation of their sin here, that they did falsify the Covenant, the love of God in entering into Covenant with such mean worthless creatures should command duty from us in the most difficult precepts that are, and that with willingness.
