How did they wander from Hashem?

1.

Radak: They strayed from Avodas Beis ha'Mikdash to serve the calves. This is sin and rebellion against Me!

2)

Why does it say "v'Anochi Efdem"?

1.

Rashi: I wanted to redeem them from the evil in which they are. Radak ? I did not, because they slandered Me (refer to 7:13:3:2).

2.

Malbim (12): If they would see what sin causes (their loss via wandering from Me), I would redeem them from Melech Ashur.

3)

What is the significance of "Diberu Alai Kezavim"?

1.

Rashi: They told Yirmeyah "Sheker Atah Medaber Lo Shelachacha Hashem Elokeinu Leimor Lo Savo'u Mitzraimah" (Yirmeyah 43:2).

2.

Radak: They said that Hashem does not know and oversee their deeds, if they do good or evil. Therefore I did not oversee them, and "v'Histarti Panai Mehem v'Hayah Le'echol" (Devarim 31:17).

3.

Malbim (12): Not only would they not heed My Musar and rebuke. They denied Hashgachah and punishment, and did not heed that the evil came to them because they wandered from Hashem.
