The attested use describes Judah as a sister characterized by disloyalty: she sees the call to return yet does not return, and her response is set against wholehearted return.

Senses in use

  1. Disloyal sister who does not return · dominant

    Both occurrences use the feminine singular absolute adjective for Judah as “sister.” In Jeremiah 3:7 the APB renders the clause “her treacherous sister Judah saw it” after saying that she did not return; in Jeremiah 3:10 it again calls Judah the sister and contrasts her failure to return with all her heart with acting “only in deception.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “treacherous” in both verses, attached to Judah as sister. The surrounding contrast with return and deception supplies the broader clause context.
