Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 23:12

_ _ slippery ways in ... darkness — Their “way” is their false doctrine which proves fatal to them (Jeremiah 13:16; Psalms 35:6; Proverbs 4:19).

_ _ I will bring evil ... visitation — still more calamities than those already inflicted. See on Jeremiah 11:23; “visitation,” namely, in wrath.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 23:9-32.
