Deprived Evil-Doing Good Iniquities Kept Sins Turned Withheld Withholden Wrongdoings
Jeremiah 5
1. The judgments of God upon the people, for their perverseness;
7. for their adultery;
10. for their impiety;
15. for their worship of idols;
19. for their contempt of God;
25. and for their great corruption in the civil state;
30. and ecclesiastical.














Your iniquities have diverted these from you;
The term "iniquities" refers to moral or ethical wrongdoings, often implying a deeper, more ingrained sinfulness. In the context of Jeremiah, the prophet is addressing the people of Judah, who have turned away from God through idolatry and social injustice. The "these" likely refers to the blessings and prosperity that God had promised to His people if they remained faithful. This phrase echoes the covenantal relationship established in Deuteronomy 28, where blessings are contingent upon obedience. The diversion of blessings due to iniquity is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, highlighting the consequences of sin. This concept is also seen in Isaiah 59:2, where iniquities create a separation between the people and God.

your sins have deprived you of My bounty.
"Sins" here are the specific actions that violate God's laws, contributing to the overall state of iniquity. The "bounty" refers to the abundance and provision that God desires to give His people. Historically, this could include agricultural prosperity, peace, and security, which were tangible signs of God's favor in the ancient Near Eastern context. The deprivation of God's bounty serves as a form of divine judgment, intended to lead the people to repentance. This idea is consistent with the prophetic literature, where physical deprivation often symbolizes spiritual barrenness. Theologically, this deprivation points to the need for a savior, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who restores the relationship between God and humanity, offering spiritual abundance as seen in John 10:10.

Teaching Points
The Consequence of Sin
Sin has tangible consequences, not only spiritually but also in the physical and material aspects of life. It diverts and deprives us of the good things God desires to give us.

God's Desire to Bless
Despite the consequences of sin, God's heart is to bless His people. His withholding of blessings is a call to repentance and restoration.

Repentance and Restoration
The path to reclaiming God's bounty is through genuine repentance and turning away from sin. God is faithful to restore those who seek Him earnestly.

Self-Examination
Believers are encouraged to examine their lives for any iniquities that may be hindering their relationship with God and His blessings.

The Role of Obedience
Obedience to God's commands is crucial in maintaining a life that is open to His blessings and favor.(25) These things.--i.e., the rain and the harvest which, from the prophet's point of view, had been withheld in consequence of the sins of the people.

Verse 25. - Have turned away these things. "These things" are the benefits mentioned in the preceding verse (comp. Jeremiah 3:3; Jeremiah 12:4). Thus the judgment is not entirely future; a foretaste of it has already been given (comp. 1 Kings 17; Amos 4.).
