Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 44:9

9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem ?

God accounteth men and women to have forgotten that, the sight and reflection upon which hath made no such impression upon them, as to produce a practice sutable to those notices, according to the conduct of a reasonable soul, which teacheth every man, having notice of a great evil brought upon a man by such or such practices, to avoid running into the like danger. It was the aggravation of this Peoples sins, that they were committed in the holy land, and in a City which God had more favoured than any other place, to have done these things in any place had been guilt enough, but more to do it in the land of Iudah and in the streets of Ierusalem.
