Jeremia 11:8

Svenska Bibel

men de ville icke höra eller böja sitt öra därtill, utan vandrade var och en i sitt onda hjärtas hårdhet. Därför lät jag ock komma över dem allt vad jag hade sagt i det förbund som jag bjöd dem hålla, men som de dock icke höllo.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear,.... Though they had such strong solicitations and fair warnings, and these repeated again and again; all which was an aggravation of their disobedience and stubbornness:

but walked everyone in the imagination of their evil heart; which is desperately wicked, and is evil, and that continually, even every imagination of it; wherefore walking herein must be very wide and different from walking in the law of the Lord, and obeying that; see Jeremiah 3:17:

therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant; that is, all the curses and threatenings denounced in it against the disobedient; and so the Targum,

"and I brought upon them vengeance (or punishment) because they received not the words of this covenant:''

which I commanded them to do, but they did them not; because they did not do the commands of the law, therefore the curses of it lighted on them; for the words of the preceding clause may be rendered, "and I brought upon them" h, c. and it is suggested that the like punishment would be inflicted on the present generation, they imitating and pursuing the iniquities of their fathers; as follows:

h ואביא עליהם "et induxi", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus; "ideo adduxi", Junius Tremellius, Piscator "et feci ut venirent", Cocceius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will bring - Rather, I have brought. The breach of the covenant upon their part had always brought temporal calamity. The last examples were the deportation of the ten tribes by Salmanezer, and the leading of Manasseh prisoner to Babylon in chains (2 Chronicles 33:11).
