jeremiah 3:4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

jeremiah 3:4 "Have you not just now called to Me, 'My Father, Thou art the friend of my youth?

4. from this time--not referring, as MICHAELIS thinks, to the reformation begun the year before, that is, the twelfth of Josiah; it means--now at once, now at last.
me--contrasted with the "stock" whom they had heretofore called on as "father" (Jer 2:27; Lu 15:18).
thou art--rather, "thou wast."
guide of . . . youth--that is, husband (Jer 2:2; Pr 2:17; Ho 2:7, 15). Husband and father are the two most endearing of ties.

jeremiah 3:4 "Have you not just now called to Me, 'My Father, Thou art the friend of my youth?
