5:12 They have {k} lied about the LORD, and said, [It is] not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
(k) Because they gave no credit to the words of his prophets, as in Isa 28:15.
5:12 Belied - Not believing that these words of the prophet were God's word.
5:10-18 Multitudes are ruined by believing that God will not be so strict as his word says he will; by this artifice Satan undid mankind. Sinners are not willing to own any thing to be God's word, that tends to part them from, or to disquiet them in, their sins. Mocking and misusing the Lord's messengers, filled the measure of their iniquity. God can bring trouble upon us from places and causes very remote. He has mercy in store for his people, therefore will set bounds to this desolating judgment. Let us not overlook the nevertheless, ver. 18. This is the Lord's covenant with Israel. He thereby proclaims his holiness, and his utter displeasure against sin while sparing the sinner, Ps 89:30-35.
