Jeremiah 23:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

Their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness - their "way" is their false doctrine, which proves fatal to them (Jeremiah 13:16; Psalms 35:6; Proverbs 4:19).

I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation - still more calamities than those already inflicted. See note, Jeremiah 11:23; "visitation," namely, in wrath.
