Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Jeremiah 44:5

These two verses contain another aggravation of this people's sin, viz. that they did this against light, and admonitions to the contrary. God had by his prophets let them know that this was an abominable thing, a thing which he hated, and that not with an ordinary degree of hatred; yet they would not hear, so as to yield obedience to God, but went on in their idolatries.
