The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:17

Hast not thou procured this ? rather, Is it not this that doth procure it unto thee ( namely ) that thou hast forsaken , etc . ? or, Is it not thy forsaking Jehovah that pro . cureth thee this? When he led thee by the way . The prophet thinks, perhaps, of the rebellion of the forefathers of Israel, who too soon ceased to "go after" Jehovah (comp. Jeremiah 2:2 ), and whose fickleness was imitated but too well by their descendants. This view is favored by the phraseology of ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 2:15-16

Jeremiah 2:15-16. The young lions roared upon them Lions, in the figurative style of prophecy, denote powerful princes and conquerors; see Jeremiah 50:17; where the king of Assyria is mentioned as one of those lions which had devoured him, and Nebuchadnezzar as another. If we consider the prophet as speaking here of what was past, by the young lions he probably means the kings of Syria and Assyria, who laid the country waste, not only of the ten tribes, but also Judah and Benjamin; and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 2:17

Jeremiah 2:17. Hast thou not procured this unto thyself? Are not all these calamities owing to thy sins, thy known and wilful sins? By their sinful confederacies with the nations, and especially their conformity to them in their idolatrous customs and usages, they had made themselves very mean and contemptible, as all those do that have made a profession of religion, and afterward throw it off. Nothing now appeared of that which, by their constitution, made them both honourable and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-19

A nation’s unfaithfulness (2:1-19)While Josiah was reconstructing the outward form of Judah’s religion, Jeremiah was searching into the deeply rooted attitudes of the people and trying to bring about a truly spiritual change. He contrasts the nation’s present sad condition with its devotion to God in former days. Israel once loved God, as a bride loves her husband. She was like the firstfruits of the harvest that belonged to God, and those who plundered her were punished (2:1-3).God now... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 2:15-16

Jeremiah 2:15-16. The young lions roared, &c.— Against him lions shall roar: they have lifted up the voice and have made his land a desolation; his cities are burned, so as to be without an inhabitant. Also the children of Memphis and Daphne shall bruise the crown of thy head. It appears, by this verse, who are meant by the young lions in Jeremiah 2:15. Noph and Tahapanes, or Memphis and Daphne, were two cities in Egypt. Jeremiah speaks here of the future as of the past. In the time of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 2:16

16. Noph . . . Tahapanes—Memphis, capital of Lower Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile, near the pyramids of Gizeh, opposite the site of modern Cairo. Daphne, on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, near Pelusium, on the frontier of Egypt towards Palestine. Isaiah 30:4 contracts it, Hanes. These two cities, one the capital, the other that with which the Jews came most in contact, stand for the whole of Egypt. Tahapanes takes its name from a goddess, Tphnet [CHAMPOLLION]. Memphis is from Man-nofri,... read more
