Jeremiah 32:32 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:32

Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the
children of Judah
His anger and fury were because of their sins, and so his carrying them captive: which they have done to provoke me to anger;
which was done, as if they had done it on purpose to provoke him; and which was done, not by a few, but by them all; not by the lower people only, but by men of every rank and order; as follows: they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets;
that is, their false prophets, as the Targum; yea, all the inhabitants of the land, both in city and country: and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
the "metropolis" of the nation; the seat of the kings of Judah; and where the temple was, the priests ministered, and the prophets taught, and the people came up to worship.

Jeremiah 32:32 In-Context

30 “The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth; indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but arouse my anger with what their hands have made, declares the LORD.
31 From the day it was built until now, this city has so aroused my anger and wrath that I must remove it from my sight.
32 The people of Israel and Judah have provoked me by all the evil they have done—they, their kings and officials, their priests and prophets, the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem.
33 They turned their backs to me and not their faces; though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
34 They set up their vile images in the house that bears my Name and defiled it.
