Jeremiah 5:11

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,.... This is a reason why such orders are given to the army of the Chaldeans to ascend the walls of Jerusalem and destroy them; namely, the perfidy both of the ten tribes, signified by the house of Israel; so Abarbinel; and of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, signified by the house of Judah; which was very great, and attended with aggravated circumstances; instances of it follow.

The Targum is,"they have dealt very falsely with my word:''saith the Lord; for this was not the charge of the prophet against them, but of the Lord himself.
