Jeremiah 23:23 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Atheism is generally the foundation of ill life. Men say God sees them not, the Almighty doth not regard. them. By a God at hand many understand heaven: Do you think that my eyes are limited like yours, that I cannot see their practices, though far off from me; that is, from the place of my glorious residence? Others interpret the particle with respect to time: Am I a God of yesterday, like the idols? Am not I the Ancient of days, the eternal God, whose majesty and omniscience you ought to have taken notice of?

Jeremiah 23:23

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
