Jeremiah 6:19 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

The fruit of their thoughts - (Proverbs 1:31, "Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices"). (See Isaiah 1:2).

Nor to my law, but rejected it - literally, 'and (as to) my law they have rejected it.' The same construction occurs Genesis 22:24.
