Jeremiah 2:35 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Yet thou sayest; or interrogatively, Darest thou say? hast thou the impudence to affirm it? Innocent; clear of this whole charge. Shall turn; shall not break out against me, Isaiah 5:25. I will plead with thee; I will proceed in my judgment against thee, Jeremiah 2:9 Jeremiah 25:31. Or it is a soft expression, wherein he shows that he will not act like a tyrant, carried on rashly and furiously; but as a judge, regularly and righteously, Ezekiel 20:35; and it shows that he will convince her. Because thou sayest, I have not sinned; because thou dost justify thyself, as if I had no cause to be angry with thee. God is not angry with her so much because she hath sinned, as because she will not acknowledge her sin.

Jeremiah 2:35

35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
