Jeremiah 5:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Visit, i.e. punish, Psalms 89:32. Should I connive at such things, the wicked would say, I did not see them, or take notice of them, Psalms 50:21, much to the same purpose with Jeremiah 5:7, beginning; and punishment may be termed visiting, as implying the equity of God's procedures, that he first sees and considers the case, before he inflicts punishment; as in the case of Sodom, Genesis 18:21; spoke after the manner of man. My soul, for I; it speaks the greatness of God's displeasure, Shall not my very soul be in this work of vengeance? Psalms 11:5.
