Jeremiah - 19:5 Meaning
“They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
19:1-9 The prophet must give notice of ruin coming upon Judah and Jerusalem. Both rulers and ruled must attend to it. That place which holiness made the joy of the whole earth, sin made the reproach and shame of the whole earth. There is no fleeing from God's justice, but by fleeing to his mercy.
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
