Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 16:12

12 And ye have done worse than your fathers (for behold ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they might not hearken unto me.)

Ye in latter ages, in the time of Manasses, have done worse than your Fathers did, and now in the time of Iehoiakim, you run on much in the same course of Idolatry and superstition, which in this is worse in you, because for thirty years together you had the better Example of good Iosiah the father of your present King, together with what his Authority could do to reduce you, he hath not been gone now above five years, and you are returned to your old Vomit, and are all of you serving me according to your own fancies, so stubborn are you, and resolved against obedience to me.
