Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 32:23

23 And they came in and possessed it , but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law , they have done nothing at all that thou commandedst them to do : therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them .

In [illegible: 1 letter]he former passage he acknowledged Gods goodness▪ here he owns his Truth and Faithfulness, so conducting this People by his Providence, that they came into the promised Land and possessed it.

Having acknowledged Gods Power, Omniscience, Goodness, Truth and Faithfulness, he comes to own his Justice, confessing that this People for whom God had done so much, had very ill requited him, not obeying his voice, which he expounds by not walking in his law; for the Law was Gods voice to them.

This he aggravateth by saying they had done nothing of what he had commanded, not breaking some particular Law, but the whole Law of God.

Therefore God was righteous in bringing this Sword, Pestilence and Famine upon them.
