הָלֹ֡ךְ וְקָֽרָאתָ֩ אֶת־הַדְּבָרִ֨ים הָאֵ֜לֶּה צָפ֗וֹנָה וְ֠אָמַרְתָּ שׁ֣וּבָה מְשֻׁבָ֤ה יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה לֽוֹא־אַפִּ֥יל פָּנַ֖י בָּכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־חָסִ֤יד אֲנִי֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה לֹ֥א אֶטּ֖וֹר לְעוֹלָֽם׃
Pergilah dan serukanlah perkataan-perkataan ini ke arah utara, dan katakanlah: ‘Kembalilah, hai Israel, si perempuan murtad, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal. Aku tidak akan menimpakan murka-Ku atas kamu, sebab Aku ini penuh kasih setia, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal; Aku tidak akan menyimpan dendam untuk selamanya.
Kli Yakar
The two mentions of “v’shav” [and he will return] that appear one after the other — the first one speaks of the forgiveness of previous sin called “shvutcha” [your captivity/rebellion], like the wayward daughter (Jeremiah 31:21), and like he went on rebelliously in the way of his heart (Isaiah 57:17), and like Return, backsliding Israel (Jeremiah 3:12), and many others like these. Regarding this it says, And the Lord your God will return your captivity and have compassion on you, because even your captivity/rebellion that is attributed to you, meaning the sin, will be transformed into merit, as our Sages said (Yoma 86b) that through repentance, intentional sins become like merits. This is what is meant by and have compassion on you, which is an expression of love. That is to say, the Holy One, blessed be He, will love your captivity/rebellion because the intentional sins will be, in His blessed eyes, like merits, and He will love them greatly.
