Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Jeremiah 17 - Introduction

The captivity of Judah for her sin. Trust in man is cursed; in God is blessed. The deceitful heart cannot deceive God. The salvation of God. The prophet complaineth of the mockers of his prophesy: he is sent to renew the covenant, in hallowing the sabbath.

Before Christ 602.
