Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 32:30

30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel, have only provoked me to anger with the works of their hands, saith the LORD .

If they had offended me only by some particular single acts, or by some few omissions, or but for a small time; I might have been judged too severe upon them, but from the time they first began to be a Nation, they have made it their business, course, and trade, passing from one Idolatry to another, &c.
