Musar su Geremia 2:27

I have already mentioned that the essential part of repentance is performed by the heart. If someone repents without a total involvement of his heart, it is as if he had not repented at all. Even remorse in his heart accompanied by a confession as well as by a resolution not to sin again, but inspired by fear of retribution, is not a perfect repentance. How much more inferior is the kind of repentance in which the heart does not fully concur? Such a person is apt to relapse into sin as soon as the afflictions which prompted his contrition have stopped. This is not repentance but deception! Such repentance has no moral value. The prophet Jeremiah already referred to this kind of "repentance" sarcastically when he said (Jeremiah 2,27): "They say to the tree 'You are my father,' and to the stone: 'You have given birth to me;' for all the time they turn their necks towards Me and not their faces. But in their hour of calamity they cry: 'Where is our Lord? Arise and save us!"'
