J E R E M I A H. CHAP. XVI. In this chapter, I. The greatness of the calamity that was coming upon the Jewish nation is illustrated by prohibitions given to the prophet neither to set up a house of his own ( Jeremiah 16:1-4 ) nor to go into the house of mourning ( Jeremiah 16:5-7 ) nor into the house of feasting, Jeremiah 16:8 ; Jeremiah 16:9 . II. God is justified in these severe proceedings against them by an account of their great wickedness, Jeremiah 16:10-13 . III. An intimation is given of mercy in reserve, Jeremiah 16:14 ; Jeremiah 16:15 . IV. Some hopes are given that the punishment of the sin should prove the reformation of the sinners, and that they should return to God at length in a way of duty, and so be qualified for his returns to them in a way of favour, Jeremiah 16:16-21 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-9" class="com-number"
