Commentary on Jeremiah 3:25

Theological / Devotional

We lie down. The Lord desired a complete acknowledgment of sin and an acceptance of the chastisement without any excuses being offered or any palliating circumstances being solicited. A man in pain and grief frequently throws himself on the ground or on a couch (see 2 Sam. 12:16; 13:31; 1 Kings 21:4) in order to give way to the overwhelming emotions that crush him.
