Verse 18
Jeremiah 16:18. I will recompense—double— This phrase signifies, to punish with severity. See ch. Jer 17:18 and Isaiah 40:2. The carcases of their detestable things, means their idols, which are called carcases, not only because they are without life, but also because of their being so detestable in the sight of God. See Lowth and Calmet.
