**The Lord said**
The general character of the second message to Judah is:
(1) of reproach that the example of Jehovah's chastening of the northern kingdom [2 Kings 17:1-18](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/1-18) had produced no effect upon Judah, e.g. [Jeremiah 3:6-10](../../../kjv/jeremiah/3/6-10).
(2) of warning of a like chastisement impending over Judah, e.g. [Jeremiah 3:15-17](../../../kjv/jeremiah/3/15-17).
(3) of touching appeals to return to Jehovah, e.g. [Jeremiah 3:12-14](../../../kjv/jeremiah/3/12-14).
(4) of promises of final national restoration and blessing, e.g. [Jeremiah 3:16-18](../../../kjv/jeremiah/3/16-18).
**Israel**
"Israel" and "Ephraim": names by which the northern kingdom (the ten tribes) is usually called in the prophets. When by "Israel" the whole nation is meant, it will appear from the context.
