Verse 10
YHWH’s Reply To His People (Jeremiah 14:10 ).
‘Thus says YHWH to this people,
“Even so have they loved to wander,
They have not prevented their feet from straying,
Therefore YHWH does not accept them,
Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.”
But this time YHWH’s reply was one of rejection. It was no good their deserting Him, and then calling on Him not to desert them. They had done it too often before. But what they had proved was that they loved to wander away from Him. They had made no real attempt to prevent their feet from straying. Now therefore it was too late. While in the past He had often responded to such entreaties, now He was not willing to accept them back. Rather He would remember their iniquity and visit on them their sins. They had reached the end of the road.
