Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 23:11

11 For both prophet and priest are profane , yea, in my house have I found their wickedness , saith the LORD.

Those, whose work was to reveal the mind of God to the people, and who pretended to that office.

And those that were employed in offering Sacrifices, and other works which belonged to the Priestly Office, according to the Law. The whole Ecclesiastical Order, all their Ministry were profane, not meerly hypocritical, but leud, immoral and debauched.

Yea, they were grown to that impudence that they made the Temple, which was the Lords house, a Den of Theeves; a place where they committed wickedness; thus it was in the time of Ely, 1 Sam. 2.22. and more generally afterward, 2 Chron. 36.14. See chap. 7.10, 11. & ver. 14. of this chap. There is no more certain sign of a ruining Nation, than when God suffereth in it a leud and corrupt Ministry.
