Jeremiah51:5
5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts ; though their land was filled with sin against the holy one of Israel .
That is, not utterly forsaken, for in a sense they were forsaken as to some gradual manifestations of Gods love to them, but Iudah and Israel were not left as a Widow, or were not divorced from God.
The word translated sin signifies a most heinous sinning, or desolation and the best Interpreters judge that sin here signifieth the punishment of sin. God hath not forsaken the Jews utterly, though as they were formerly filled with grievous sins, so they be now filled with grievous judgements because of their sins.
