Jeremiah 23:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For because off swearing— Houbigant renders this, Whose course is to evil, whose strength is to iniquity; therefore the land mourneth, and the pastures of the desart are dried up. See his note. Others read, Before the face of the curse the land mourneth. Full of corrupted and idolatrous men, of false prophets, who dishonour God by their lies, and people who dishonour him by their worship of false gods, the whole land is become subject to his curse, and, as it were, mourneth and lamenteth under his displeasure. Others understand the expression because of swearing, to mean perjury, or swearing by the false gods.

Jeremiah 23:10

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearinga the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
