From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Even from the days of your fathers -Back to those days and from them ye are gone away from My ordinances. “I am not changed from good; ye are not changed from evil. I am unchangeable in holiness; ye are unchangeable in perversity.” Return unto Me -The beginning of our return is from the preventing grace of God.Jeremiah 31:18;Lamentations 5:21, “turn Thou me, and I shall be turned, for Thou art the Lord my God,” is the voice of the soul to God, preparing for His grace;Psalms 85:4, “turn us, O God of our salvation.” For, not in its own strength, but by His grace can the soul turn to God.
