Jeremiah 11:8

But had not hearkened unto his counsels, but every one had walked after the imaginations of his own heart. A phrase by which sin is often expressed in holy writ, Deuteronomy 29:19 Jeremiah 3:17, Jeremiah 7:24 9:14 13:10 16:12 18:12 23:17. The imaginations of man's heart are only evil, Genesis 6:5, Genesis 8:21. Hence holiness is set out by the notion of self-denying, not pleasing ourselves, mortifying our members, &c. For this God threateneth to bring upon them all his words of threatening annexed to the covenant of the law.
