Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 3:2

"Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness." — Jeremiah 3:2 (ASV)

These words are not the language of consolation to the conscience-stricken, but of vehement expostulation with hardened sinners. They prove, therefore, the truth of the interpretation given to the preceding verse.

As the Arabian... — The freebooting tendencies of the Bedouin had become a proverb in ancient times. As eager as the desert tribes were for plunder, so was Israel for idolatry.
