Commentary on Jeremiah 12:11

Theological / Devotional

Desolate. The threefold repetition of this idea adds strikingly to the force of the picture.

No man layeth it to heart. An expression denoting indifference, a sin that made more grievous the iniquity of the Israelites (see Isa. 42:25 ; 57:1, 11).
