Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 5:21

Theological / Devotional

Understanding. Sin, particularly willful sin, perverts the moral perceptions (see Jer. 4:22; Hosea 7:11).

Eyes, and see not. Judah was willfully blind and obstinately deaf. There is no one so blind as he who will not see. Deliberate sin cuts the optic nerve of the soul (see ch. 6:10).
