Jeremiah 12:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

Mourneth unto me - i:e., before me. Eichorn translates, 'by reason of me,' because I have given it to desolation (Jeremiah 12:7).

Because no man layeth it to heart - because none by repentance and prayer seek to deprecate God's wrath. Or, 'yet none lays it to heart;' as Jeremiah 5:3, "Thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved" (Calvin).
