Under the type of hair5. is shown the judgment of Jerusalem for their rebellion 12. by famine, sword, and dispersion Yet in her wickedness The phrase "yet in her wickedness" underscores the depth of Jerusalem's moral and spiritual corruption. The Hebrew word for "wickedness" is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which conveys a sense of evil or calamity. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe actions that are contrary to God's will. The use of "her" personifies Jerusalem, emphasizing the intimate relationship God had with the city and its people, akin to a wayward spouse. she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes more than the countries around her For they have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes More than the nations.--Not, of course, absolutely, but in proportion to the knowledge and the privileges given them. It would be an exaggeration to say that the Israelites were actually more evil in their life than the surrounding heathen; for they were, no doubt, far better. Even of those cities which our Lord, at a later day, so strongly upbraided, it would be absurd to suppose that they equalled Sodom and Gomorrah in their iniquity. God's judgments are always relative and proportioned to the opportunities He has granted to men. The point is that the Israelites had resisted His judgments more than the heathen; they had sinned against greater light. The pronoun they in the last clause refers, of course, to the Israelites, not to the heathen. Verse 6. - She hath changed, etc. To that calling Jerusalem had been unfaithful. Corruptio optimi pessima, and she had sunk to a lower level than the nations round about her.

The pronoun refers, not to the nations, but to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and so in the next clause.Parallel Commentaries ...
