Jeremiah 2:34

In her unfaithfulness, Israel had gone so far as putting innocent people to death (cf. Jeremiah 26:20-23; 1 Kings 21:16; Nehemiah 9:26). If these people had done something worthy of death, such as breaking into a house, such bloodshed would have been excusable (cf. Exodus 22:2-3)

"Wicked behaviour always involves innocent people to some extent, as Christ demonstrated in bearing the sins of humanity (cf. 1 Peter 2:20-24)." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . ., p. 62.]
