Jeremiah 16:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

God is of purer eyes than that he can behold iniquity in any so as to approve it, and therefore though he be long patient, yet he will at last punish evil-doers; for his eyes behold them, their sins are open in his sight, and he particularly observeth men's actions, that he may render unto every one according to his works.

Jeremiah 16:17

17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
