Commentary on Jeremiah 2:35

Theological / Devotional

I am innocent. The nation did not seem to be conscious of its guilt. Perhaps the people flattered themselves that though they had sunk low under the reign of Manasseh, Josiah’s outward reformation had turned aside the threatened wrath of God (2 Kings 22:17).

I will plead. Or, “I will bring into judgment,” that is, with the intent of punishing.
