Verse 13
Genuine repentance would have to include realizing and acknowledging that what they had done was iniquity, transgression of covenant commands, apostasy and spiritual adultery, and disobedience to Yahweh’s Word (cf. Deuteronomy 28:1-2; Deuteronomy 28:15).
"True confession, unfortunately, is a harrowing and humiliating experience, and thus seldom encountered, whether in individuals or nations. The catharsis of confession undoubtedly helps to make Christian forgiveness so rich an experience for the penitent spirit (1 John 1:9)." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . ., p. 66.]
