Jeremiah 9:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit— Houbigant follows the LXX, and renders the verse, They add usury to usury, and deceit to deceit, they refuse, &c. The experimental knowledge of God, which is true religion, is incompatible with the practice of any wickedness; and therefore it is natural enough for those, who are resolved at all events to abide in their evil courses, to divest themselves of all religious principles, which if insufficient to restrain, will be sure at least to be very troublesome to them; for this cause they are ready to say unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways, Job 21:14.
