Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible
Jeremiah 16 - Introduction
The prophet, under the types of abstaining from marriage, and from houses of mourning and feasting, foresheweth the utter ruin of the Jews, because they were worse than their fathers. Their return from captivity shall be more strange than their deliverance out of Egypt. God will doubly recompense their idolatry.
Before Christ 602.
