Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
3:22-24 The Lord heard the touching prayer of devotion; the people affirmed their acceptance of the Lord as their God (31:7; Pss 38:18; 121:1-2). • The people even confessed that they had worshiped idols and engaged in religious orgies. They admitted that all this was a delusion (Jer 11:13; 14:20; Hos 9:10) and acknowledged that salvation is found only in the Lord. Their ancestors had squandered their wealth by killing their animals and children in honor of Baal. 3:22 The Lord did not forget his children. Out of the depths of his being, he called them to come back so that he could heal them. He desired to set aside his anger and pour forth his love (30:17; 33:6; Hos 6:1; 14:4).
