This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_34:16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
Ver. 16. But ye turned.] Exprobrat recidivum Iudaeorum scelus, qui scilicet primam virtutem turpiter deluserint et violarint. He upbraideth them, and deservedly, with their apostasy and perjury. Peter also thundereth against such. {2Pe_2:1-22}
And polluted my name,] scil., By the violation of your solemn vow; so doth every profligate professor and ungirt Christian.
Whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure.] Liberty is a desirable and delectable commodity. Those that live in Turkey, Persia, yea, or but in France, &c., esteem it so.
