Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 2:21

Jeremiah 2:21. How then art thou turned, &c.— This passage has occasioned great perplexity; but it does not seem to have occurred to any interpreter, that סורי surei, is the imperative feminine of סור sur, and signifies, "Depart, Get thee gone, O vine of spurious growth," being addressed by God to the house of Israel under the character of a vine, which is discarded for having adulterated the good qualities of its original stock. נכריה nakriiah, properly signifies strange, of a different... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 2:21

Yahweh had planted Israel in the Promised Land as a choice vine, as His faithful seed, but Israel had grown up as a degenerate vine that bore the marks of foreign stock (cf. Isaiah 5:1-7; Ezekiel 15; Matthew 21:33-46). "Choice vine" is literally a sorek vine, a vine that thrived between Jerusalem and the Mediterranean Sea-especially in the Sorek Valley-and bore high-quality grapes. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:1-30

The Prophet Sets Forth the Sin of the Nation and Points Out the Inevitable Result (Reign of Josiah, and Probably Before the Reforms of that King: cp. Jeremiah 3:6)This section furnishes us with the gist of the prophet’s testimony during the early years of his ministry, and doubtless represents the commencement of the roll written by Baruch at Jeremiah’s dictation. In these five chapters he lays before his hearers the grossness of their conduct in deserting Jehovah, and urges repentance and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 2:21

(21) A noble vine.—Literally, a Sorek vine. Elsewhere rendered choice or choicest (Genesis 49:11; Isaiah 5:2). The word “Sorek” points primarily to the dark purple of the grape, and then to the valley of Sorek, between Ascalon and Gaza (Judges 16:4).Wholly a right seed.—Literally, a seed of truth, parallel with the “good seed” in the Parable of the Tares. Here, however, as in Isaiah 5:1-7, which Jeremiah seems to have in his mind, stress is laid not on the mingling of the evil with the good,... read more

Trimming Jeremiah 2:33 What is trimming? It is the holding of a middle course or position between parties, so as to appear to favour each. The Jews trimmed between God and the idols. And the just God who loathes all that is not straight and upright shakes their equivocal souls with this stormy interrogatory, 'Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love?' I. Expressions of Trimming. We often find trimming expresses itself in speech. Quite as often it shows itself in conduct Policy is the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-37

CHAPTER IITHE TRUST IN THE SHADOW OF EGYPTJeremiah 2:1-37; Jeremiah 3:1-5THE first of the prophet’s public addresses is, in fact, a sermon which proceeds from an exposure of national sin to the menace of coming judgment. It falls naturally into three sections, of which the first {Jeremiah 2:1-13} sets forth Iahvah’s tender love to His young bride Israel in the old times of nomadic life, when faithfulness to Him was rewarded by protection from all external foes; and then passes on to denounce... read more
