Commentary on Jeremiah 11:12

Theological / Devotional

Cry unto the gods. Compare the experience of King Saul. When, because of apostasy, the Lord refused to answer the king’s inquiry concerning the outcome of the impending battle, Saul turned to the witch of Endor (see on 1 Sam. 28:6, 7). That the nation as a whole was unrepentant is clearly indicated by the readiness with which the people turned to their false gods.
