Jeremiah 5
1. The judgments of God upon the people, for their perverseness;
7. for their adultery;
10. for their impiety;
15. for their worship of idols;
19. for their contempt of God;
25. and for their great corruption in the civil state;
30. and ecclesiastical.














Your iniquities
The Hebrew word for "iniquities" is "עֲוֹנֹתֵיכֶם" (avonotekhem), which refers to moral perversity or guilt. In the context of Jeremiah, this term underscores the deep-seated nature of the people's rebellion against God. Historically, the Israelites were repeatedly warned by prophets about their transgressions, which included idolatry and social injustice. This phrase serves as a reminder that sin is not merely an external act but a condition of the heart that separates humanity from God.

have diverted
The Hebrew root "הִטּוּ" (hittu) means to turn aside or deflect. This word choice illustrates the active role that iniquities play in altering the course of blessings intended for the people. It suggests a deviation from the path of righteousness, leading to a loss of divine favor. The imagery here is of a stream of blessings being redirected away from the people due to their own actions.

these from you
The phrase "these from you" refers to the blessings and prosperity that God intended for His people. In the historical context of Jeremiah, these blessings could include peace, security, and abundance in the land. The use of "these" emphasizes the tangible and specific nature of what is being lost due to sin. It serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of disobedience.

your sins
The Hebrew word "חַטֹּאותֵיכֶם" (chatoteikhem) is used here, which refers to offenses or failures to meet God's standards. In the biblical narrative, sin is often depicted as missing the mark, akin to an archer failing to hit the target. This phrase highlights the personal responsibility of the people in their estrangement from God. It is a call to self-examination and repentance.

have deprived you
The verb "מָנְעוּ" (manu) means to withhold or deny. This word conveys the idea of being cut off from something that is rightfully due. In the context of Jeremiah, it underscores the consequences of sin, which is the withholding of God's blessings. It is a sobering reminder that sin not only affects one's relationship with God but also the material and spiritual well-being of the community.

of My bounty
The term "טוּבִי" (tubi) refers to goodness, prosperity, or abundance. This phrase encapsulates the fullness of God's provision and care for His people. In the historical and scriptural context, God's bounty is often associated with the Promised Land, a place flowing with milk and honey. The loss of this bounty due to sin serves as a powerful illustration of the spiritual and physical impoverishment that results from turning away from God. It is an invitation to return to Him and experience the fullness of His blessings once more.

(25) These things.--i.e., the rain and the harvest which, from the prophet's point of view, had been withheld in consequence of the sins of the people.

Verse 25. - Have turned away these things. "These things" are the benefits mentioned in the preceding verse (comp. Jeremiah 3:3; Jeremiah 12:4). Thus the judgment is not entirely future; a foretaste of it has already been given (comp. 1 Kings 17; Amos 4.).
