Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-8

Here is, I. A command given to Jeremiah to go and carry a message from God to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He was charged in general (Jer. 1:17) to go and speak to them; here he is particularly charged to go and speak this to them. Note, It is good for ministers by faith and prayer to take out a fresh commission when they address themselves solemnly to any part of their work. Let a minister carefully compare what he has to deliver with the word of God, and see that it agrees with it, that he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 2:3

Israel was holiness unto the Lord ,.... When first brought out of Egypt into the wilderness, by the Lord's choice and separation of them to be a holy people to him above all others; by covenant with him, and profession of him; and by his giving them holy laws, and placing a sanctuary among them; and by their high priest, who represented them in the most holy place; and had on the front of his mitre written, holiness unto the Lord ; so the spiritual Israel are chosen in Christ to be holy,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:3

Israel was holiness unto the Lord - Fully consecrated to his service. The first fruits of his increase - They were as wholly the Lord's, as the first fruits were the property of the priests according to the law Numbers 18:13 . These the priests alone had a right to devote to their own use. All that devour him shall offend - As they were betrothed to the Lord, they were considered his especial property; they therefore who injured them were considered as laying violent hands on the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:3

Verse 3 God here more clearly reprobates the ingratitude of the people: and first he enumerates his favors by which he had bound the people for ever to himself; and secondly, he shews how malignantly the people responded to the many blessings which they had received. In saying, then, that Israel was holy, he intends it not by way of honor. It was indeed in itself an illustrious testimony to their praise, that God had consecrated that people to himself, that he designed them to be the first —... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-3

Recollections of the happy past. It is pleasing to see how the prophet of judgment opens his first oracle with touching reminiscences of the early happy relations between God and his people. Thus the young man connects his new utterances with ancient experience and the old well-tried principles of spiritual religion. Thus, too, he leads the way from thoughts of God's goodness and memories of early devotion to a right condition of reflectiveness and tenderness of heart, in which the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-8

Israel's desertion of Jehovah viewed in the light of the past. Desertion rather than apostasy is the word by which to describe the offence charged against Israel in this chapter. Apostasy from principle is too abstract and unemotional a way of putting the thing. The spectacle presented to us is that of one person deserting another in the basest and most ungrateful way. It is a desertion without excuse, aggravated by every circumstance which can aggravate it. And now Jehovah sends his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-14

A sweet remembrance embittered; or Divine delight turned by his people's ingratitude into Divine distress. I. GOD GREATLY DELIGHTS IN HIS PEOPLE 'S LOVE . See the similitude he employs: "the love of thine espousals." It is difficult for us to recall any period in the history of Israel when such high praise as this was merited by them. For it is of their love to God rather than of his to them—though there was never any doubt about that-that the prophet is here speaking.... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:2-3

First love to God. We have here a picture of the idyllic days of the soul's first love for God. The emphasis is on the sentiment—its depth, reality, and attractiveness. It is spoken of as something in which' God delights; as in the odor of a rose, the beauty of a landscape, or the pleasant melody of a song. I. IT IS ATTRACTIVE . For its spontaneity; its spirit of self-sacrifice; and its absoluteness. II. IT IS IMMEDIATE IN ITS INFLUENCE . UPON CHARACTER AND... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 2:3

Israel was holiness , etc. Israel was a consecrated people (comp. Exodus 19:5 , Exodus 19:6 ; Deuteronomy 7:6 ; Deuteronomy 14:2 ; Deuteronomy 26:19 ). Isaiah, fond as he is of the phrase "Israel's Holy One ," does not expressly enforce the correlative truth, as Jeremiah does here. The first-fruits of his increase ; rather, his firstfruits of increase. Israel is compared to the firstfruits ( reshith ) of the land, which were devoted to the house of the Lord ( Exodus... read more
