Commentary on Jeremiah 5:4

Theological / Devotional

These are poor. The prophet is shown making the deduction that such moral depravity was confined to the poverty-stricken masses.

They know not. Jeremiah suggests that their faulty conduct was due to their lack of religious instruction.

Judgment. Heb. mishpat, meaning, at times, a religious law or a system of laws decreed by God as right (see 1 Sam. 10:25 and 2 Kings 17:33, where mishpat is translated “manner”).
