Jeremías 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:14

But have walked after the imagination of their own heart
What their own hearts devised, chose, and were best pleased with; (See Gill on Jeremiah 7:24), and after Baalim;
the idols of the Gentiles; these they served and worshipped, and not the true God: which their fathers taught them;
which was so far from excusing them, that it was an aggravation of their sin, that they had continued in their wicked ways and idolatrous practices, from age to age, from one generation to another. This then was the cause of their calamity and destruction; they had forsaken the law of the Lord, and had broken that; they had chose their own ways, and had been guilty of idolatrous practices time out of mind; wherefore the Lord had shown much longsuffering and patience with them, and would now no longer forbear he was just and righteous in his doings.

Jeremías 9:14 In-Context

12 ¿Quién es tan sabio como para entender esto? ¿A quién le habló el SEÑOR, para que lo anuncie? ¿Por qué está arruinado el país, desolado como un desierto por el que nadie pasa?

13 El SEÑOR dice: «Ellos abandonaron la ley que yo les entregué; no me obedecieron ni vivieron conforme a ella.

14 Siguieron la terquedad de su corazón; se fueron tras los baales, como les habían enseñado sus antepasados».

15 Por eso, así dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso, el Dios de Israel: «A este pueblo le daré a comer ajenjo y a beber agua envenenada.

16 Los dispersaré entre naciones que ni ellos ni sus antepasados conocieron; los perseguiré con espada hasta aniquilarlos».
