«اِذْهَبْ وَنَادِ بِهذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ، وَقُلِ: ارْجِعِي أَيَّتُهَا الْعَاصِيَةُ إِسْرَائِيلُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. لاَ أُوقِعُ غَضَبِي بِكُمْ لأَنِّي رَؤُوفٌ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. لاَ أَحْقِدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Here is a great deal of gospel in these verses, both that which was always gospel, God's readiness to pardon sin and to receive and entertain returning repenting sinners, and those blessings which were in a special manner reserved for gospel times, the forming and founding of the gospel church by bringing into it the children of God that were scattered abroad, the superseding of the ceremonial law, and the uniting of Jews and Gentiles, typified by the uniting of Israel and Judah in their return out of captivity. The prophet is directed to proclaim these words towards the north, for they are a call to backsliding Israel, the ten tribes that were carried captive into Assyria, which lay north from Jerusalem. That way he must look, to show that God had not forgotten them, though their brethren had, and to upbraid the men of Judah with their obstinacy in refusing to answer the calls given them. One might as well call to those who lay many hundred miles off in the land of the north; they would as soon hear as these unbelieving and disobedient people; backsliding Israel will sooner accept of mercy, and have the benefit of it, than treacherous Judah. And perhaps the proclaiming of these words towards the north looks as far forward as the preaching of repentance and remission of sins unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem, Luk 24:47. A call to Israel in the land of the north is a call to others in that land, even as many as belong to the election of grace. When it was suspected that Christ would go to the dispersed Jews among the Gentiles, it was concluded that he would teach the Gentiles, Joh 7:35. So here. I. Here is an invitation given to backsliding Israel, and in them to the backsliding Gentiles, to return unto God, the God from whom they had revolted (Jer 3:12): Return,…

أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ فَإِلهٌ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، طَوِيلُ الرُّوحِ وَكَثِيرُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَالْحَقِّ.
قُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنِّي لاَ أُسَرُّ بِمَوْتِ الشِّرِّيرِ، بَلْ بِأَنْ يَرْجعَ الشِّرِّيرُ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ وَيَحْيَا. اِرْجِعُوا، ارْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ الرَّدِيئَةِ! فَلِمَاذَا تَمُوتُونَ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟
«اِرْجِعُوا أَيُّهَا الْبَنُونَ الْعُصَاةُ فَأَشْفِيَ عِصْيَانَكُمْ». «هَا قَدْ أَتَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا.
فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ يَذْهَبُ بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا مَعَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَأْتِيَانِ مَعًا مِنْ أَرْضِ الشِّمَالِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي مَلَّكْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا.
هَلْ أَفْرَايِمُ ابْنٌ عَزِيزٌ لَدَيَّ، أَوْ وَلَدٌ مُسِرٌّ؟ لأَنِّي كُلَّمَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ أَذْكُرُهُ بَعْدُ ذِكْرًا. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ حَنَّتْ أَحْشَائِي إِلَيْهِ. رَحْمَةً أَرْحَمُهُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.
فَإِنِّي أَيْضًا أَرْفُضُ نَسْلَ يَعْقُوبَ وَدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي، فَلاَ آخُذُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ حُكَّامًا لِنَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، لأَنِّي أَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُمْ وَأَرْحَمُهُمْ».
هَلْ يَحْقِدُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ، أَوْ يَحْفَظُ غَضَبَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ هَا قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتِ وَعَمِلْتِ شُرُورًا، وَاسْتَطَعْتِ!».
اَلرَّبُّ حَنَّانٌ وَرَحِيمٌ، طَوِيلُ الرُّوحِ وَكَثِيرُ الرَّحْمَةِ.
وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِهُوشَعَ بْنِ أَيْلَةَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَلَكَ حَزَقِيَّا بْنُ آحَازَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا.
«إِنْ رَجَعْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَيَّ وَإِنْ نَزَعْتَ مَكْرُهَاتِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِي، فَلاَ تَتِيهُ.
