Verse 11

11. Wickedness… deceit and guile Rampant lust, perfidy, and craft everywhere prevailed.

Depart not from her streets It is better to understand רחב , ( rehhob,) here translated street, to signify market place, open space, public square, or broad way before the gates, where courts were held, as in 2 Chronicles 32:6; Ezra 10:9; Nehemiah 8:1; Nehemiah 8:3; Nehemiah 8:16. In Jeremiah 5:1, it is translated broad places; in our English Bible, and in Nehemiah 2:4, broad ways. In these open courts of the city, where justice was usually dispensed, wickedness, extortion, and deceit, prevailed. Compare Psalms 9:14
