Jeremiah 3:8

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

I had put her away - Given them up into the hands of the Assyrians.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Rather, “And I saw” that because apostate “Israel” had “committed adultery, I had put her away, and given her” the writing of her divorcement, “yet” false “Judah her sister feared not.” … The expression, “For all the causes whereby,” is probably the actual formula with which writings of divorcement commenced.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
If we mark the crimes of those who break off from a religious profession, and the consequences, we see abundant reason to shun evil ways. It is dreadful to be proved more criminal than those who have actually perished in their sins; yet it will be small comfort in everlasting punishment, for them to know that others were viler than they.
