Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 9:2

Theological / Devotional

A lodging place. Life with the godless and corrupt men of Judah had become so intolerable that Jeremiah longed for the peace and quiet of a life of retirement in some desolate and lonely place (see Ps. 55:6–8).

Adulterers. Both literal and spiritual (see on chs. 2:20; 3:8, 9; 5:7, 8).
