Jeremiah 2:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I will yet plead with you: this is to be understood either really, by his judgments, Psalms 74:22, and that with great severities; or verbally, he will go on to deal with them, to convince them by his prophets, as he did with their fathers, that they may be left without excuse, Jeremiah 7:25,26. With your children's children; either for the heinousness of their fathers sins; for God doth often visit the iniquities of the parents upon their children, Exodus 20:5; or because they do imitate their parents.
