Commentary on Jeremiah 16:18

Theological / Devotional

I will recompense. Just as in the Mosaic law a restitution, or fine, sometimes equivalent to twice the amount of wrong committed, was frequently the measure of punishment (see Ex. 22:4, 7), so here God warns Judah that their chosen course of iniquity can but lead to full recompense.
