Jeremiah 2
2
Israel Forsakes the Lord
1The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2“Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord,
“I remember the devotion of #ch. 3:4 your youth,
your love #Ezek. 16:8, 43, 60; [Rev. 2:4] as a bride,
#
Deut. 2:7 how you followed me in the wilderness,
#
Deut. 8:2, 3 in a land not sown.
3 #
Ex. 28:36; [
Ex. 19:5, 6 ] Israel was holy to the Lord,
#
James 1:18; [
Ex. 4:22
] the firstfruits of his harvest.
# ch.
12:14; Ezek. 25:12, 13; [
Gen. 12:3
] All who ate of it incurred guilt;
disaster came upon them,
declares the Lord.”
4Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the clans of the house of Israel. 5Thus says the Lord:
# ver.
31;
Isa. 5:4; Mic. 6:3 “What wrong did your fathers find in me
that they went far from me,
#
2 Kgs. 17:15 and went after #ch. 10:15; 14:22; 16:19worthlessness, and became worthless?
6They did not say, #[Isa. 63:11-13; Hos. 13:4, 5] ‘Where is the Lord
who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
who led us #Deut. 8:15; 32:10in the wilderness,
in a land of deserts and pits,
in a land of drought and deep darkness,
in a land that none passes through,
where no man dwells?’
7 # See
Deut. 8:7-10 And I brought you into a plentiful land
to enjoy its fruits and its good things.
But when you came in, #Ps. 106:38; [Lev. 18:24, 25]you defiled my land
and made my heritage an abomination.
8The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
# ch.
18:18; [
Mal. 2:7; Rom. 2:20 ] Those who handle the law did not know me;
# [ch.
5:5
] the shepherds#2:8 Or rulers transgressed against me;
# ch.
23:13; [ch.
5:31
] the prophets prophesied by Baal
and went after #[Hab. 2:18]things that do not profit.
9“Therefore #ver. 35; Ezek. 17:20; 20:35, 36 I still contend with you,
declares the Lord,
and #Ex. 20:5, 6with your children’s children I will contend.
10For cross to the coasts of #See Gen. 10:4 Cyprus and see,
or send to #See Isa. 21:16Kedar and examine with care;
see if there has been such a thing.
11 # [
Mic. 4:5
]; See ch. 18:13-15 Has a nation changed its gods,
# ch.
16:20; Isa. 37:19; Gal. 4:8 even though they are no gods?
But my people #Ps. 106:20 have changed their glory
for #[See ver. 8 above]that which does not profit.
12Be appalled, #Isa. 1:2O heavens, at this;
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
declares the Lord,
13for my people have committed two evils:
# ch.
17:13 they have forsaken #Ps. 36:9 me,
the fountain of #John 4:10living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns that can hold no water.
14 # [
Ex. 4:22
] “Is Israel a slave? Is he a homeborn servant?
Why then has he become a prey?
15 # ch.
4:7; Isa. 5:29 The lions have roared against him;
they have roared loudly.
They have made his land a waste;
his cities are in ruins, #ch. 9:11; 46:19without inhabitant.
16Moreover, the men of #ch. 44:1; 46:14; Ezek. 30:16 Memphis and #ch. 43:7-9 Tahpanhes
# [
Deut. 33:20
] have shaved#2:16 Hebrew grazed the crown of your head.
17 # ch.
4:18 Have you not brought this upon yourself
by forsaking the Lord your God,
when #ver. 6he led you in the way?
18 # ver.
36;
Isa. 30:1, 2; 31:1 And now what do you gain by going to Egypt
to drink the waters of #Isa. 23:3 the Nile?
# [
Hos. 7:11
] Or what do you gain by going to Assyria
to drink the waters of #Gen. 31:21; Isa. 7:20; 8:7the Euphrates?#2:18 Hebrew the River
19 #
Isa. 3:9; Hos. 5:5 Your evil will chastise you,
and #ch. 3:22; 5:6; 14:7 your apostasy will reprove you.
Know and see that it is evil and #ch. 4:18 bitter
for #ver. 13, 17you to forsake the Lord your God;
the fear of me is not in you,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
20“For long ago I #ch. 5:5; 30:8 broke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, #ver. 31 ‘I will not serve.’
Yes, #ch. 3:2; 17:2 on every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down #ch. 3:1; Isa. 1:21like a whore.
21 #
Ex. 15:17; Ps. 44:2; 80:8; Isa. 5:2 Yet I planted you a choice vine,
wholly of pure seed.
#
Isa. 5:4; [
Deut. 32:32
] How then have you turned degenerate
and become a wild vine?
22Though you wash yourself with lye
and use much soap,
# [ch.
17:1
] the stain of your guilt is still before me,
declares the Lord God.
23 # ver.
35 How can you say, ‘I am not unclean,
I have not gone after the Baals’?
Look at your way #ch. 7:31, 32; 19:2, 6in the valley;
know what you have done—
a restless young camel running here and there,
24 # ch.
14:6
a wild donkey used to the wilderness,
in her heat sniffing the wind!
Who can restrain her lust?
None who seek her need weary themselves;
in her month they will find her.
25Keep #Deut. 29:5 your feet from going unshod
and #Ex. 17:6 your throat from thirst.
But you said, ‘It is hopeless,
# ch.
3:13; Deut. 32:16 for I have loved foreigners,
and after them I will go.’
26“As a thief is shamed when caught,
so the house of Israel shall be shamed:
# ch.
13:13; 32:32; [ch.
8:1
] they, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets,
27who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But #Judg. 10:9, 10; Isa. 26:16in the time of their trouble they say,
‘Arise and save us!’
28But #Deut. 32:37, 38 where are your gods
that you made for yourself?
Let them arise, #Isa. 45:20 if they can save you,
in your time of trouble;
for #ch. 11:13as many as your cities
are your gods, O Judah.
29“Why do you contend with me?
You have all transgressed against me,
declares the Lord.
30In vain have I #ch. 5:3; Isa. 1:5; 9:13 struck your children;
they took no correction;
#
Neh. 9:26; 1 Thess. 2:15 your own sword devoured your prophets
like a ravening lion.
31And you, O generation, behold the word of the Lord.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
or a land of thick darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘We are free,
we will come no more to you’?
32 #
Isa. 3:20; 61:10 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
or a bride her attire?
Yet #ch. 3:21; 18:15; Deut. 32:18; Ps. 106:21; Isa. 17:10; Hos. 8:14my people have forgotten me
days without number.
33“How well you direct your course
to seek love!
So that even to wicked women
you have taught your ways.
34Also on your skirts is found
# ch.
19:4; 2 Kgs. 21:16; 24:4; Ps. 106:38 the lifeblood of the guiltless poor;
you did not find them #Ex. 22:2breaking in.
Yet in spite of all these things
35you say, ‘I am innocent;
surely his anger has turned from me.’
#
Ps. 143:2 Behold, I will bring you to judgment
for #Prov. 28:13; 1 John 1:8, 10saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
36 # [ch.
31:22
] How much you go about,
changing your way!
You shall be #Isa. 30:3put to shame by Egypt
as you were put to shame by Assyria.
37From it too you will come away
with #2 Sam. 13:19your hands on your head,
for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
and you will not prosper by them.
