Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 5:25

25 Your iniquities have turned away these things , and your sins have withholden good things from you

q. d. Do not say, your ground is parched up with drought, or your fruits are corrupted and rotted by too much, or unseasonable Rain; we have nothing now in so due a course, as we were wont to have it, would you know the reason of it? You have inverted the Ordinances and order of Nature, have put Heaven and Earth out of their regular courses by your iniquities.

That either you have been cut short of these good things, or denied a blessing upon them; by this God would not have prophane men think, that unusual seasons either for better, or worse, do come by chance, but as he sees convenient either for the encouragement of the obedient or punishing the obstinate.
