Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 2:34

_ _ Also — not only art thou polluted with idolatry, but also with the guilt of shedding innocent blood [Maurer]. Rosenmuller not so well translates, “even in thy skirts,” etc.; that is, there is no part of thee (not even thy skirts) that is not stained with innocent blood (Jeremiah 19:4; 2 Kings 21:16; Psalms 106:38). See as to innocent blood shed, not as here in honor of idols, but of prophets for having reproved them (Jeremiah 2:30; Jeremiah 26:20-23).

_ _ souls — that is, persons.

_ _ search — I did not need to “search deep” to find proof of thy guilt; for it was “upon all these” thy skirts. Not in deep caverns didst thou perpetrate these atrocities, but openly in the vale of Hinnom and within the precincts of the temple.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 2:29-37.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 2:34

Skirts — Of thy garments: the tokens of cruelty may be seen openly there. Innocents — In thee is found the murder expressed here by blood of innocent persons, murdering souls as well as bodies. Search — Heb. by digging; as if the earth had covered the blood, or as if they had committed their wickedness in some obscure places. These — Upon thy garments, exposed openly to publick view.
