Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 16:18

_ _ first ... double — Horsley translates, “I will recompense ... once and again”; literally, “the first time repeated”: alluding to the two captivities — the Babylonian and the Roman. Maurer, “I will recompense their former iniquities (those long ago committed by their fathers) and their (own) repeated sins” (Jeremiah 16:11, Jeremiah 16:12). English Version gives a good sense, “First (before ‘I bring them again into their land’), I will doubly (that is, fully and amply, Jeremiah 17:18; Isaiah 40:2) recompense.”

_ _ carcasses — not sweet-smelling sacrifices acceptable to God, but “carcasses” offered to idols, an offensive odor to God: human victims (Jeremiah 19:5; Ezekiel 16:20), and unclean animals (Isaiah 65:4; Isaiah 66:17). Maurer explains it, “the carcasses” of the idols: their images void of sense and life. Compare Jeremiah 16:19, Jeremiah 16:20. Leviticus 26:30 favors this.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 16:14-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 16:18

I will recompense — Before I will restore them, I will plentifully punish them, (for so double here signifies, not the double of what their sins deserve.) Defiled — By their idolatry, blood and cruelty. Detestable — Unclean beasts offered to their idols, or innocent persons slain by them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 16:18

And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled my inheritance with the (h) carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

(h) That is, their sons and daughters, who they offered to Molech.
