Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 32:31

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

31. provocation of mine anger —literally, " for mine anger." CALVIN, therefore, connects these words with those at the end of the verse, "this city has been to me an object for mine anger (namely, by reason of the provocations mentioned, :- , c.), that I should remove it," &c. Thus, there will not be the repetition of the sentiment, :- , as in English Version the Hebrew also favors this rendering. However, Jeremiah delights in repetitions. In English Version the words, "that I should remove it," c., stand independently, as the result of what precedes. The time is ripe for taking vengeance on them ( :- ). from the day that they built it —Solomon completed the building of the city and it was he who, first of the Jewish kings, turned to idolatry. It was originally built by the idolatrous Canaanites. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-32" class="com-number"
