Context of Jeremiah 3:10

8I noted that when backsliding Israel committed adultery I sent her away and gave her a certificate of divorce. Yet, unfaithful Judah, her sister, did not fear. Instead she also went and committed adultery. 9It happened that through her frivolous prostitution, she polluted the land and committed adultery with stones and with wood. Yet after all this her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to Me with her whole heart, but only insincerely,” It is a declaration of Adonai. 11Then Adonai said to me, “Backsliding Israel has proved herself more righteous than unfaithful Judah. 12Go! Proclaim these words toward the north, saying: “Return backsliding Israel,” says Adonai. “I will no longer frown on you, for I am merciful,” says Adonai. “I will not keep a grudge forever.
