Commentary on Jeremiah 5:3

Theological / Devotional

Thine eyes upon. God sees through the pretense of man and scrutinizes the motives that govern conduct (see 2 Chron. 16:9; Prov. 5:21; 15:3; Jer. 16:17 ; 32:19).

Truth. Heb. ’emunah, “firmness,” “faithfulness.” ’Emunah is translated “faith” in Hab. 2:4, where, however, “faithfulness” is probably the more accurate translation. God is seeking for men of “faith,” or “faithfulness,” for He Himself is a God of “truth” (Heb. ’emunah, Deut. 32:4).
