Jeremiah 4:1

IV.

(1) If thou wilt return.—The “if” implies a return from the hopes with which Jeremiah 3:0 ended to the language of misgiving, and so, inferentially, of earnest exhortation.

Abominations.—Literally, things of shame, as in Jeremiah 3:24; the idols which Israel had worshipped.

Then shalt thou not remove.—Better, as continuing the conditions of forgiveness, if thou wilt not wander.
