Jeremiah 29:32 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He shall not have a man to dwell among his people, &c. None of his posterity shall remain to see my people restored to their own land again. See Jeremiah 29:11. Because he hath taught rebellion Or, prevarication, as Blaney translates סרה, observing, “It properly signifies a declining, or turning aside from the straight path, the path of truth and right. Here, and Jeremiah 28:16, it means the presumption of uttering, as a revelation from God, what the man who uttered it knew to be not so.”

Jeremiah 29:32
