Contextual Overview
20However, as a woman may betray her lover,so you have betrayed me, house of Israel.21A sound is heard on the barren heights:the children of Israel weeping and begging for mercy,for they have perverted their way;they have forgotten the Lord their God. 22Return, you faithless children.I will heal your unfaithfulness.“Here we are, coming to you,for you are the Lord our God. 23Surely, falsehood comes from the hills,commotion from the mountains,but the salvation of Israelis only in the Lord our God. 24From the time of our youththe shameful one has consumedwhat our fathers have worked for—their flocks and their herds,their sons and their daughters. 25Let us lie down in our shame;let our disgrace cover us.We have sinned against the Lord our God,both we and our fathers,from the time of our youth even to this day.We have not obeyed the Lord our God.”

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.
