Bible Comments

Thy way; thy manner of life, and particularly thy idolatries. Have procured these things unto thee: q.d. Thou canst not lay any blame upon me. This is thy wickedness, because it is bitter; thy wickedness hath been the cause of this thy grievous affliction, Isaiah 1:1 Jeremiah 2:17,19, of this thy bitterness of bringing such a bitter enemy against thee, a metonymy of the efficient, which hath reached unto thy very heart, as the sword is said to reach unto the soul, Jeremiah 4:10.

Jeremiah 4:18

18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
