Jeremiah 9:14
Baalim—plural of Baal, to express his supposed manifold powers.
fathers taught them— (Galatians 1:14; I Peter 1:18). We are not to follow the errors of the fathers, but the authority of Scripture and of God [JEROME].
12 aWho is the wise man who may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through?
13 And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have anot obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it,
14 but they have awalked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, bwhich their fathers taught them,”
15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will afeed them, this people, bwith wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will ascatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. bAnd I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”
