Jeremiah 2:10

"“Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says the LORD, “and I will contend with your children’s children."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that God's punishment is not eternal but finite, indicating that He will eventually relent and show mercy. It reflects God's enduring commitment to His people, even as He disciplines them for their sins.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Kedar signifies the whole East, and the isles of Chittim (Isaiah 23:12note) the West. If then you traverse all lands from west to east, it will be impossible to find any nation guilty of such apostasy as that committed by Israel.
