John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:27

Verse 27 The Prophet here confirms what he had before said of the perverse wickedness of the people. He shews that he had not said without reason, that their sins were extremely gross, and could not be excused by any evasions: for they say, he adds, to the wood, Thou art my father, and to the stone, Thou hast begotten, me By these words the Prophet shews, that idolatry was so rampant among the people, that they openly ascribed to their statues, made of wood or stone, the honor due to the only... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:28

Verse 28 And hence he adds, Where are your gods? Here God laughs to scorn the false confidence by which the Jews deceived themselves: Where are your gods, which you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, let us see whether they will help you in the time of your distress. We now understand what the Prophet means: for he shews that the people acted in a most strange manner; for they worshipped idols when they were in safety, and afterwards would have God to be bound to them; and yet they... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:29

Verse 29 Jeremiah concludes here his previous subject: he says that the Jews gained nothing by alleging against God that they were innocent, and by thinking that they could by mere words escape his judgment, and not only by doing so, but also by hurrying on to such a degree of presumption as to challenge God himself, and to seek to prove him guilty. But God answers them in one word, and says, that they were perfidious. The meaning then is, that the Jews ill consulted their own interest in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-37

It is always interesting to notice how later inspired writers hasten to do honor to their predecessors. Originality is not an object with the prophets, but rather the developing and adapting the truths long ago "delivered." The whole group of prophecies to which Jeremiah 2:1-37 . belongs contains numerous points of contact, in ideas or phraseology, with the song of Hoses ( Deuteronomy 32:1-52 .). The following have been indicated:—Cf. Jeremiah 2:5 with Deuteronomy 32:4 ; ... read more

Jehovah's indictment against Israel. Note— I. ITS MANY COUNTS . 1. Their sin of outrageous character . It is spoken of as in Jeremiah 2:20 , because it so commonly involved the grossest fleshly sins, and because it involved shameful denial of God. Cf. Jeremiah 2:27 , "Saying to a stock, Thou art my father," etc. And it was chargeable with numerous and shameful murders ( Jeremiah 2:30 ). Killing the prophets of God; Jeremiah 2:34 , "In thy skirts is found the blood... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:26

A shame to be ashamed of. There is, as Paul tells us ( 2 Corinthians 7:1-16 .), a godly sorrow and a sorrow of the world; a godly sorrow working out a repentance never to be regretted, and a sorrow of the world which works out death. So there is a shame and humiliation which is profitable in the right way and to the highest degree, when a man comes into all the horrors of self-discovery, and is ready to declare himself, feeling it no exaggeration, as the chief of sinners. Such a shame is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:26-28

The shameless shame of idolatry. I. ITS DEGRADING INFLUENCE . It violates all morality. Is repeatedly affronted by the discoveries which are made of its wickedness and folly. It affects the whole nation from the highest and the best. The reason is debased and set at naught. II. CALAMITY IS THE TEST OF ITS PRETENSIONS . Whilst things go well with the idolater he forgets God or consciously dishonors him. But when he is overtaken with the consequences of his evil... read more

According to the number of thy cities , etc. A remarkable statement, and one that well illustrates the superficial character of Hezekiah's reformation. True, Manasseh's reactionary reign had intervened, but his counter-movement would not have been so successful had it not been attended by the good wishes of the people; and besides, the last years of Manasseh, according to the tradition in 2 Chronicles 33:12-16 were devoted to undoing the mischief of his former life. The force of the... read more
