29 public-domain excerpts on Jeremiah 3, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“25. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God. 25. Jacuimus in pudore nostro, et operuit nos ignomina nostra; quoniam cum Jehova Deo nostro scelerate egimus, nos et patres nostri, a pueritia nostra, et ad hunc diem usque; et non audivimus vocem Jehovae Dei nostri. …”
— Calvin, Commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations - Volume 1, on Jeremiah 3:25–30 (Public Domain)
