Jeremiah 7:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 7:17
God asks Jeremiah, 'Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?' This rhetorical question demands attention to observable reality. The public, open nature of their sin ('in the streets') shows shamelessness. God's question to the prophet implies that the evidence is so obvious that no one can claim ignorance. This public idolatry demonstrates how far Judah has fallen—they no longer even attempt to hide their covenant breaking. The question format engages Jeremiah as witness, establishing that judgment will be based on clear, visible evidence.
