Jeremiah 6:28

They are all grievous revolters ,.... From the right way of God and his worship: or,

they are all revolters of revolters F5 סרי סוררים "refractarii refractariorum", Schmidt; "contumacium contumacissimi", Junius & Tremellius. ; of all, the greatest revolters, the greatest sinners and transgressors, the most stubborn and disobedient; or sons of revolters; fathers and children are alike. The Targum, is,

"all their princes rebel;'

and so the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions: "walking with slanders": of one another; or with deceit, as the Targum; in a hypocritical and fraudulent manner; playing the hypocrite with God, or tricking and deceiving their neighbours. They are "brass and iron"; as vile and mean as those metals, and not as gold and silver; or as hard and inflexible as they are; or they deal as insincerely

"as he that mixes brass with iron;'

so the Targum:

they are all corrupters ; as such that mix metals are; they are corrupters of themselves and of others, of the doctrines and manners of men, and of the ways and worship of God.
