Context — God Will Restore Israel
16But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
17For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
18And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
19O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all. 20Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”Cross References

Jeremiah 16:18 Summary
[God is saying that He will punish the people twice as much as they have sinned because they have worshiped false idols and defiled His land. This shows that God is a holy and just God who will not tolerate sin, as seen in Isaiah 40:2. He wants us to know that He will judge sin and reward righteousness, and that we should turn away from our idols and worship only Him (1 John 5:21). By trusting in God's justice and sovereignty, we can have hope and peace, even in difficult times.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'repay them double their iniquity and their sin' in Jeremiah 16:18?
This means that God will punish the people twice as much as they have sinned, as seen in Isaiah 40:2, where God says He will 'double' the punishment for the people's sins, and in Revelation 18:6, where God gives back to Babylon 'double' for her deeds.
Why is God so angry with the people in Jeremiah 16:18?
God is angry because the people have defiled His land with their idols, which is a clear violation of the first and second commandments in Exodus 20:3-5, where God commands the people to worship only Him and not to make idols.
What are the 'detestable idols' mentioned in Jeremiah 16:18?
The 'detestable idols' refer to the false gods and idols that the people of Judah were worshiping, which is condemned in Deuteronomy 12:31, where God says that the nations around them had 'done every abomination to the LORD' and that the people of Judah should not do the same.
How does this verse relate to God's character?
This verse shows that God is a just and holy God who will not tolerate sin, as seen in Psalm 92:15, where God is called 'upright' and 'just', and in Habakkuk 1:13, where God is said to be 'too pure' to look on evil.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be 'defiling' God's creation with my own sinful actions or attitudes, and what can I do to stop?
- How does knowing that God will judge sin and reward righteousness affect my daily decisions and actions?
- What are some 'idols' in my life that I need to get rid of, and how can I replace them with a deeper love and devotion to God?
- How can I trust in God's justice and sovereignty, even when it seems like evil is prevailing in the world?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 16:18
And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double,.... Or, "but first I will recompense", c.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 16:18
And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:18
Before I will restore them, and return in my wonted favour to them, I will punish them for their ways which 1 have seen, which are ways of iniquity, and will plentifully punish them; (for so double here signifies, not the double of what their sins deserve;) because by their idolatry, blood, and cruelty, and other sins, they have defiled the land which I own, and which I have given them; and have filled that country which I have chosen for and named my inheritance with their abominable things, that is, practices, or unclean beasts offered to their idols in sacrifices, or innocent persons slain by them.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:18
Jeremiah 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.Ver. 18. And first,] i.e., Before I restore them. I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double,] i.e., Abundantly. I will have my full pennyworths of them; not double to their deserts, With the careases,] i.e., With their idolatries, more odious and loathsome than any stinking carcases can be. Poenarum abunde. - Jun.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:18
(18) I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double.—A restitution, or fine, to double the amount of the wrong done was almost the normal standard of punishment under the Law of Moses (Exodus 22:4; Exodus 22:7). The words threaten accordingly a full punishment according to the utmost rigour. In Isaiah 40:2 the same thought is presented in its brighter aspect. Israel has received “double for all her sins,” and therefore, having paid, as it were, “the uttermost farthing” (Matthew 5:26), she may now hope for mercy. The carcases . . .—The word may be used in scorn of the lifeless form of the dumb idols which the people worshipped, to touch which was to be polluted, as by contact with a corpse (Numbers 19:11); but it more probably points to the dead bodies of the victims that had been sacrificed to them. The phrase occurs also in a like context in Leviticus 26:30. It would appear from Isaiah 65:4 that these often included animals which by the Law were unclean: “swine’s flesh and broth of abominable things.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:18
Verse 18. The carcasses of their detestable - things.] Either meaning the idols themselves, which were only carcasses without life; or the sacrifices which were made to them.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 16:18
18. first] The word (rî’shônah) is not found in LXX, and was probably inserted after Jeremiah 16:14 f. had been introduced into the text. Co. however thinks it is a corruption of the frequent expression (e.g. Judges 9:57) ‘al ro’shâm, upon their head. double] Cp. Isaiah 40:2. because they have polluted] The mg. is more strictly in accordance with the Hebrew. the carcases, etc.] the idols themselves, called carcases as being in their nature polluting to the touch like a dead body. The whole of Jer 16:18 is unmetrical, and Co. rejects the second part (from “because”), as containing language belonging to later times, e.g. “carcases” in connexion with idols, as in Ezekiel 6 (specially in Jeremiah 16:5; Jeremiah 16:13) and Leviticus 26:30.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 16:18
First - Before the return from exile. I will recompense their iniquity ... double - The ordinary rule of the Law (Isaiah 40:2 note). Sin is twofold; there is the leaving of God’s will undone, and the actual wrongdoing.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:18
18. And first — Namely, before the return already mentioned. Double — Various interpretations have been given of this. 1) I will recompense double — that is, two times — in allusion to the Babylonian and Roman captivities.
