Jeremiah 32:30 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The children of Israel have only provoked me to anger... — The words “the children of Israel” are apparently taken with a different range of extension in the two clauses — (1) for the northern kingdom, as contrasted with Judah; and (2) for the collective unity of Israel before, and perhaps also after, the division of the monarchy. The latter words of the verse reproduce Deuteronomy 31:29.

Jeremiah 32:30

30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
