Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:6 — KJV
Thine habitation. A reference either to Jeremiah’s habitation or to that of the people. For v. 6 the LXX reads, “There is usury upon usury, deceit upon deceit; they did not wish to know me.”
They refuse. The people’s ignorance of God was willful (see v. 3; ch. 5:4, 5). Transgression is a matter of choice.
