Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 2:31

"O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?" — Jeremiah 2:31 (ASV)

Have I been a wilderness to Israel? a land of darkness?

why say my people, We are lords; we will come no more to you?

"Do you not see," says the Lord to these rebellious people, "how much I have done for you? Have you forgotten the numberless mercies I have lavished upon you? I have kept from you nothing that was really good for you. When you worshipped me in sincerity and in truth, you prospered exceedingly; but when you turned away from me, you made a sad mistake. See, then, the sermons which providence itself preached to you if you will not hear what my prophets say to you in my name."

O generation, see ye the word of the LORD.

"If you will not hear it, see it."
