Covetousness; of which sin the Jews were eminently guilty, as is expressly affirmed, Jeremiah 6:13, Jeremiah 8:10. But this is not mentioned exclusively as to other sins, but synecdochically, so as to comprehend all those sins for which God contended with them. I hid me; I withdrew my favour and help from him, and left him in great calamities. And he went on frowardly in the way of his heart; yet he was not reformed by corrections, but in his distresses trespassed more and more, as was said of Ahaz, and obstinately persisted in those sinful courses which were chosen by and were most pleasing to the lusts of his own corrupt heart.
