Jeremiah 3:5
Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. (Jeremiah 3:5)
Will he reserve?
 This seems to be a continuation of the supposed address begun in v. 4. The people express their confidence that the anger of their divine Husband will pass in spite of their unfaithfulness.
As thou couldest.
Or, “that you were able.” Judah used all her powers in doing evil.
Thou hast spoken.
A sharp contrast is drawn between Judah’s specious words and her idolatrous ways.
