And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.

And you have done worse evil than your fathers; for see, every one of you is guided by the pride of his evil heart, so as not to give ear to me:
You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.
(And ye haue done worse then your fathers: for beholde, you walke euery one after the stubbernesse of his wicked heart, and will not heare me)
Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me.
You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.
And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken to me:
And you also have done worse than your fathers: for behold every one of you walketh after the perverseness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken to me.
But you who are living now have done more wicked things than your ancestors did! Each of you stubbornly does the evil things that he desires and refuses to pay attention to what I say.

Context — Disaster Predicted
10When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
11Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
12And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
13So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’ 14Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’Cross References

Jeremiah 16:12 Summary
[Jeremiah 16:12 tells us that we have a tendency to follow our own stubborn and evil hearts instead of obeying God. This means we often choose to do what we want, even if it goes against God's commands. As it says in Jeremiah 16:12, we have done more evil than our fathers, and we need to recognize this and turn back to God. We can do this by repenting of our sins and trusting in Jesus Christ, as described in Acts 3:19-20, and by obeying God's commands as outlined in the Bible, such as in Matthew 22:37-40.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to follow the stubbornness of our evil hearts?
Following the stubbornness of our evil hearts means choosing to disobey God's commands and instead doing what we want, as seen in Jeremiah 16:12. This is similar to what happened in the garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve chose to disobey God's command in Genesis 2:16-17.
How can we know if we are following our evil hearts or obeying God?
We can know if we are following our evil hearts or obeying God by examining our actions and motivations, as encouraged in Psalm 139:23-24, and comparing them to God's commands and principles in the Bible, such as those found in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Matthew 22:37-40.
What is the consequence of following the stubbornness of our evil hearts?
The consequence of following the stubbornness of our evil hearts is separation from God and potentially severe judgment, as seen in Jeremiah 16:12-13 and also in Romans 6:23, which states that the wages of sin is death.
Can we change our evil hearts and start obeying God?
Yes, we can change our evil hearts and start obeying God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, as described in Ezekiel 36:26-27 and 2 Corinthians 5:17, where we become new creations in Christ.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I have been following the stubbornness of my evil heart, and how can I turn back to obeying God?
- How can I recognize when I am being led by my own desires rather than God's will, and what can I do to change this?
- In what ways can I demonstrate obedience to God in my daily life, and how will this impact my relationship with Him?
- What are some areas where I need to surrender my will to God's will, and how can I do this in a practical way?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 16:12
And ye have done worse than your fathers,.... Not only committed the same sins, but greater, or, however, attended with more aggravating circumstances; they were wilfully and impudently done, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 16:12
And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: Ye - emphatic; so far from avoiding your fathers'
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:12
Ye in latter ages, in the time of Manasseh, have done worse than your fathers did, and now in the time of Jehoiakim you run on much in the same course of idolatry and superstition, which in this is worse in you, because for thirty years together you had the better example of good Josiah the father of your present king, together with what his authority could do to reduce you; he hath not been gone now above five years, and you are returned to your old vomit, and are all of you serving me according to your own fancies, so stubborn are you, and resolved against obedience to me.
