Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face,....

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: Like men who wished to insult a king in his very court. Jer_32:33. Though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. This is a fearful indictment.

And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom,....

And I will give them one heart and one way,.... "One" and the same heart; the same heart to one as to another; gracious souls, truly converted persons, be they Jews or Gentiles, have the same experience; they have all, more or less, a sight and sense of sin, and the evil of it; are brought off of their own righteousness; are led to Christ alone...
