Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 14:10

10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander , they have not refrained their feet , therefore the LORD doth not accept them , he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins .

Here beginneth that divine Revelation mentioned v. 1. as an answer to the Prophets complaint, and prayer in the nine first verses. The substance of which is, that for their manifold sins, he was resolved to punish them, and therefore would not be any more sollicited on their behalf.

They have gone aside out of the way of my precepts, and that out of principle of love and delight, they have been fond of their Idols.

And they have persisted in those deviations and sinful courses, notwithstanding all counsels, and arguments used with them to the contrary, nothing could keep their feet to the way of my testimonies.

Therefore though they pray and cry, and fast, God will not accept them.

But by his punishment of them for their sins, he will let them know that as he hath seen and taken notice of, so he hath not forgot what they have done.
