Chasidut sobre Jeremias 12:8
הָיְתָה־לִּ֥י נַחֲלָתִ֖י כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה בַיָּ֑עַר נָתְנָ֥ה עָלַ֛י בְּקוֹלָ֖הּ עַל־כֵּ֥ן שְׂנֵאתִֽיהָ׃
Tornou-se a minha herança para mim como leão numa floresta; levantou a sua voz contra mim, por isso eu a odeio.
Sefat Emet
We find that in a time of sinning it says (Jeremiah.12.8), "She raised her voice against Me, therefore I have rejected her" -- the hatred is only by cause. When the cause becomes nullified, the hatred disappears. The love, in contrast, is intrinsic, absolute. So it says (Hoshea.14.5), "I will love them freely."
