Commentary on Jeremiah 7:19
God asks, 'Do they provoke me to anger?' then answers His own question: 'do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?' This reveals that while sin dishonors God, sinners harm themselves most. The phrase 'confusion of their own faces' suggests shame and disgrace. This verse teaches that rebellion against God is ultimately self-destructive—it brings shame and ruin upon the rebel. Reformed theology emphasizes that sin is irrational, harming the sinner while claiming to serve their interests. God is not ultimately harmed by human sin; rather, sinners damage themselves.
