Jeremiah 3:13. Only acknowledge thine iniquity,
It is all he asks thee to do. Confess that thou host done wrong. "Only acknowledge thine iniquity."
Jeremiah 3:13. That thou halt transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD,
It was under the trees that they set up their altars to worship their false gods; so that they turned the graves, which should be full of beauty and sweet with song, into the places of idolatry, whereby God was provoked. But he says, "Only confess it. Come and lament it. Own that you have been guilty, and I will put away the sin."
