Contextual Overview
6 In the days of Yoshiyahu the king, Adonai asked me, "Have you seen the things that backsliding Isra'el has been doing? She goes up on every bare hill and under every green tree and prostitutes herself there. 7 I said that after she had done all these things, she would return to me; but she hasn't returned. Meanwhile, her unfaithful sister Y'hudah has been watching. 8 I saw that even though backsliding Isra'el had committed adultery, so that I had sent her away and given her a divorce document, unfaithful Y'hudah her sister was not moved to fear — instead she too went and prostituted herself. 9 The ease with which Isra'el prostituted herself defiled the land, as she committed adultery with stones and with logs. 10 Yet in spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Y'hudah has not returned to me wholeheartedly; she only makes a pretense of it," said Adonai . 11 Then Adonai said to me, "Backsliding Isra'el has proved herself more righteous than unfaithful Y'hudah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I said, after she had done these things,.... All these idolatries, in the several places mentioned, after she had repeated them over and over; the Lord sent to them by the Prophets Hosea, Amos, Micah, and others, who prophesied before the captivity of the ten tribes, and entreated them, saying,
turn unto me: to my worship, as the Targum; from their idols, to him the living God; they were not without admonitions, exhortations, and declarations of grace, and so were without excuse:
but she returned not; to fear and serve the Lord, but remained in idolatry, obstinate and inflexible:
and her treacherous sister Judah saw it; her treachery and breach of covenant, as the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions add, for explanation sake; Judah, or the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and who were allied to the ten tribes by birth and by religion, and equally treacherous to God, the husband of them both, saw all the idolatry of Israel, and the aggravations of it, and what followed upon it, namely, their captivity in Babylon, yet did not learn and take warning hereby.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Or, âAnd I said (i. e., within myself), After she has done all these things, she will return to me.â But she did not return.
Treacherous - literally, âFalsehood,â i. e., false, faithless. The character of the two sisters is plainly marked. Samaria is apostate; she abandons Yahwehâs worship altogether. Judah maintains the form only; her secret desires are set upon the orgies of pagan worship.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 3:7. And I said — By the prophets Elijah, Elisha, Hosea, Amos, c. for all these prophesied to that rebellious people, and exhorted them to return to the Lord.
