Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 44:3

3 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other Gods , whom they knew not, neither they, you, nor your fat[illegible: 1 letter]ers .

A they were eye-wi[illegible: 1 letter]nesses to the effect so it was nothing but their unbelief made them strangers to the cause▪ for God by his Prophets had told them that the great moving cause was their paying a divine homage to Idols▪

The sin of which is aggravated from this, that they were as much strangers to the Idols, as to the people with whom they joined in the worship of them, neither they nor any of their Fathers having had any experimental knowledge of what they had done or could do for such as adored them.
