Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 32:30

"For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah." — Jeremiah 32:30 (ASV)

The children of Israel have only provoked me to anger ... —The words "the children of Israel" are apparently taken with a different range of extension in the two clauses—

1. for the northern kingdom, as contrasted with Judah;
2. and for the collective unity of Israel before, and perhaps also after, the division of the monarchy.

The latter words of the verse reproduce Deuteronomy 31:29.
