Jeremiah 2:34

I have not found it ... -Rather, thou didst not find them breaking into thy house. The meaning is, that these poor innocents had committed no crime: they were not thieves caught in the act, whom the Law permitted men to slayExodus 22:2, and therefore Israel in killing them was guilty of murder. The one crime here of theft is put for crime generally. Upon all these -Or, because of all this. Thou killedst the poor innocents, not for any crime, but because of this thy lust for idolatry.
