I read this verse alone, in order, by praying over it, to seek instruction from the Lord, for the right apprehension of it. Jeremiah could not mean to charge the Lord, with either the cause or the consequence of the people's deception. The lying prophets, such as Hananiah (see Jeremiah 28:1) by preaching peace, had deceived them: and as he presumed to come to the people in the Lord's name, as well as Jeremiah, they might be said in this sense, to be deceived by the Lord. And if for their rebellion, the Lord gave them up to believe a lie; though the deception was their own, yet God's judgment was in it. Certain it is, that there is no evil in the city, but the Lord hath done it; that is, permitted it. Amos 3:6. But while the sovereignty of the Lord is still the same, the evil of transgression is the sinner's, James 1:13; Ezekiel 14:1-11.
