Contextual Overview
20 But instead, you are like a wife who broke her wedding vows. You have been unfaithful to me. I, the Lord , have spoken. 21 The Lord said: Listen to the noise on the hilltops! It's the people of Israel, weeping and begging me to answer their prayers. They forgot about me and chose the wrong path. 22 I will tell them, "Come back, and I will cure you of your unfaithfulness." They will answer, "We will come back, because you are the Lord our God. 23 On hilltops, we worshiped idols and made loud noises, but it was all for nothing— only you can save us. 24 Since the days of our ancestors when our nation was young, that shameful god Baal has taken our crops and livestock, our sons and daughters. 25 We have rebelled against you just like our ancestors, and we are ashamed of our sins."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband,.... Or, "her friend" i; who loves her, takes care of her, and provides for her, and goes after another man, and cohabits with him; which is a violation of the marriage covenant, and acting a base and treacherous part unto him to whom she is married
so have you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord; who was their Father, friend, and husband; who loved them and distinguished them from all other people, by a variety of blessings and privileges; and yet they departed from his commandments and ordinances, and held the traditions of the elders, and taught for doctrines the commandments of men, and rejected the Messiah, and still continue in their disbelief of him, and hatred to him; and therefore it need not be wondered at that he should make any difficulty about their adoption and inheritance; and a marvellous thing it must be to take such persons, and put them openly among his children, and give them a right and meetness for the goodly inheritance.
