Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 2:35

35 Yet thou [illegible: 1 letter]ayst , because I am innocent , furely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee , because thou sayest, I have not sinned .

Or interrogatively darest thou say? Hast thou the impudence to affirm it?

Clear of this whole charge.

Shall not break out against me, Isa. 5.25.

I will proceed in my judgment against thee, verse 9. chap. 25.31. Or it is a soft expression, wherein he shews that he will not act like a Tyrant, carryed on rashly, and furiously, but as a judge regularly, and righteously, Ezek. 20.35. and it shews, that he will convince her.

Because thou dost justifie thy self, as if I had no cause to be angry with thee. God is not angry with her so much because she hath sinned, as because she will not acknowledge her sin.
