Jeremiah 4:18
Thy wickedness - This siege is thy wickedness, i. e., in its results; or better, this is thy wretchedness, this army and thy approaching ruin is thy misery.
Because - " For." To feel that one' s misery is the result of one' s own doings adds bitterness to the anguish, and makes it reach, penetrate to the heart.
