Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 13:27

Theological / Devotional

Thine adulteries. A figure representing the idolatrous worship of the Israelites (see Jer. 3:20).

Neighings. A figure representing the unrepressed desires and lusting of Judah after idolatry (see ch. 2:24; cf. Jer. 5:8).

Clean. The closing part of the verse sets forth the loving hope of the Lord for the Israelites’ spiritual reformation. The wording suggests a hope tinged with plaintive despair because of the persistently unrepentant course of the people.
