Jeremiah - 3:9 Meaning
“And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
3:6-11 If we mark the crimes of those who break off from a religious profession, and the consequences, we see abundant reason to shun evil ways. It is dreadful to be proved more criminal than those who have actually perished in their sins; yet it will be small comfort in everlasting punishment, for them to know that others were viler than they.
“And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.”
