For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
This phrase identifies the two primary divisions of the Hebrew people during the time of Jeremiah. The "house of Israel" refers to the northern kingdom, which had already fallen to Assyria by Jeremiah's time, while the "house of Judah" refers to the southern kingdom, which was still standing but facing imminent threat from Babylon. Historically, these two houses were once united under kings like David and Solomon, but they split after Solomon's reign. The division led to distinct political and religious developments, yet both houses are addressed here, indicating that the message is for all of God's chosen people. The Hebrew word for "house" (בֵּית, bayit) can also mean family or lineage, emphasizing the collective responsibility and shared identity of the people.

have been utterly unfaithful to Me
The phrase "utterly unfaithful" is translated from the Hebrew word "בָּגְדוּ" (bagadu), which conveys a sense of betrayal or treachery. This is not merely a lapse in judgment or a minor infraction; it is a profound breach of covenant. In the context of the Old Testament, faithfulness to God was paramount, and unfaithfulness was akin to spiritual adultery. The use of "utterly" underscores the severity and completeness of their betrayal. Historically, this unfaithfulness manifested in idolatry, social injustice, and a failure to uphold the laws given by God. The phrase "to Me" highlights the personal nature of this betrayal; it is not just a violation of law but a breaking of relationship with God Himself. This reflects the covenantal relationship where God is seen as a husband to Israel, and their unfaithfulness is a personal affront to Him.
