שׁ֚וּבוּ בָּנִ֣ים שׁוֹבָבִ֔ים אֶרְפָּ֖ה מְשׁוּבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם הִנְנוּ֙ אָתָ֣נוּ לָ֔ךְ כִּ֥י אַתָּ֖ה יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
배역한 자식들아 돌아오라 내가 너희의 배역함을 고치리라 보소서 우리가 주께 왔사오니 주는 우리 하나님 여호와이심이니이다
Rashi
when I will return the backsliding of My people When I admonish them to return from their backsliding.
Rashi
and your backslidings, Heb. ומשבותיך, an expression related to “backsliding children (שובבים)” (infra 3:22).
Chidushei Agadot
A Divine Voice went forth saying, "'Return, rebellious children' (Jeremiah 3:22), apart from Acher," etc.: And likewise he said later, "I have heard behind the curtain, etc." And the wording in the Yerushalmi is: Once I rode on a horse on Yom Kippur which fell out on a Shabbat and I heard a Divine Voice going forth from the house of the holy of holies, saying, "Return, children, apart from Acher - since he knew My power and rebelled against me." To here [is the Yerushalmi]. But he nevertheless should not have paid attention to the Divine Voice about this. And it is like Rabbi Meir said to him during his sickness, "You bring back a man, up to extinction (Psalms 90:3)." And we say, "You have nothing that stands in front of repentance."
