Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 2:19

_ _ correct ... reprove — rather, in the severer sense, “chastise ... punish” [Maurer].

_ _ backslidings — “apostasies”; plural, to express the number and variety of their defections. The very confederacies they entered into were the occasion of their overthrow (Proverbs 1:31; Isaiah 3:9; Hosea 5:5).

_ _ know ... seeimperative for futures: Thou shalt know and see to thy cost.

_ _ my fear — rather, “the fear of Me.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 2:14-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Thy wickedness — Thy own wickedness is the cause of thy correction. Know — Consider well, and thou canst not but be convinced.
