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 varón sabio que entienda esto? ¿Y a quién habló la boca del SEÑOR, para que pueda declararlo? ¿Por qué causa la tierra ha perecido, ha sido asolada como desierto, que no hay quien pase?

13 Y dijo el SEÑOR: Porque dejaron mi ley, la cual di delante de ellos, y no escucharon mi voz, ni caminaron por ella;

14 antes se fueron tras la imaginación de su corazón, y en pos de los baales que les enseñaron sus padres;

15 por tanto, así dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que a este pueblo yo les daré a comer ajenjos, y les daré a beber aguas de hiel.

16 Y los esparciré entre gentiles que no conocieron ellos ni sus padres; y enviaré espada en pos de ellos, hasta que yo los acabe.
