Jeremiah 2:21

Jer 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

Ver 21. Yet I had planted thee a noble vine. ] Heb., A sorek, or with slips of sorek. Jdg 16:4 See Isaiah 5:3 , a parallel text; Exodus 15:17 Psalms 44:3 ; Psalms 80:9 .

Wholly a right seed. ] That should have yielded a right crop, but it proveth otherwise. Nec votis respondet avari agricolae.

How then art thou turned into the degenerate plant? ] How is it that slips of sorek prove slips of Sodom? Deu 32:32 See on Isaiah 5:4 ; Isaiah 5:7 .
