Commentary on Jeremiah 4:18

Theological / Devotional

Thy way and thy doings. This phrase may be understood as designating the settled habits and individual acts. The phrase occurs frequently (chs. 7:3, 5; 18:11; 26:13; 35:15).

Have procured. See on ch. 2:14; Ps. 107:17; see 5T 120.

Wickedness. The Hebrew can mean either the wickedness itself or its resulting calamity (see on ch. 1:14). The context calls for the latter sense here.
