Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 3:22

"Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we are come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God." — Jeremiah 3:22 (ASV)

Return, you backsliding children ... —We lose, as before, the force of the Hebrew repetition of the same root, Turn, you children that have turned, I will heal your turnings. As so often in Hebrew poetry, we have the answer to the invitation given in dramatic form, and hear the cry—we might almost call it the litany—of the suppliants, Behold, we come to you. They at last own Jehovah as their one true God.
