Verses 1-7
Israel’s rebelliousness 11:1-7
Again this section, which is all divine speech, begins with a reference to something in Israel’s history to contrast the past with the present (cf. Hosea 9:10; Hosea 10:1; Hosea 10:9).
"The passage at its outset has similarities to the form of the legal complaint made by parents against a rebellious child (Deuteronomy 21:18-21; cf. Isaiah 1:2-20 where hope is held out that the child [Israel] may yet repent and receive compassion rather than death)." [Note: Stuart, p. 175]
