Jeremiah 2:25-28

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 2:14-30

I include all these verses under one view, as the doctrine is one and the same, though varied with several similitudes. But the whole is intended to show, to what a degenerate state the Church was reduced; how the rebellion of the people naturally became their own correction; and yet, in the midst of all, the Lord still watched over Israel for good, and although suffering them to be cast down, would not cast them off. Isaiah 27:2-5 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:20-28

20-28 Notwithstanding all their advantages, Israel had become like the wild vine that bears poisonous fruit. Men are often as much under the power of their unbridled desires and their sinful lusts, as the brute beasts. But the Lord here warns them not to weary themselves in pursuits which could only bring distress and misery. As we must not despair of the mercy of God, but believe that to be sufficient for the pardon of our sins, so neither must we despair of the grace of God, but believe that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 2:20-28

The Sin of Idolatry v. 20. For of old time I have broken thy yoke and burst thy bands, rather, "For from ancient times thou hast broken thy yoke and burst thy bands," namely, the laws and ordinances of God; and thou saidst, I will not transgress, literally, "I will not serve," thus obstinately refusing obedience to the Lord, when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, where the sanctuaries of idolatry were always found, playing the harlot, the act of adultery, as... read more

The First DiscourseJeremiah 2:0This chapter contains an independent discourse; it does not, as Graf supposes, form, with chap. 3–4, a connected whole. For, as we shall show, chap. 3 begins a discourse clearly arranged and complete in itself, which would not bear any addition either at the beginning or at the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 2:1-37

The first movement in commissioning the called man now commences. He was commanded to utter a great impeachment in the ears of Jerusalem. This impeachment was threefold. It first declared how Israel had forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves. In the second place, Israel was charged with obstinate sinfulness, the meaning of her suffering was declared, the folly of her alliances was pointed out, the guilt of her degeneracy was pronounced, the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:4-37

SECTION 1. An Overall Description Of Jeremiah’s Teaching Given In A Series Of Accumulated, Mainly Undated, Prophecies, Concluding With Jeremiah’s Own Summary Of His Ministry (Jeremiah 2:4 to Jeremiah 25:38 ). From this point onwards up to chapter 25 we have a new major section (a section in which MT and LXX are mainly similar) which records the overall teaching of Jeremiah, probably given mainly during the reigns of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6) and Jehoiakim, although leading up to the days of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:20-28

They Had Broken Free From YHWH To Worship False Gods And Had Thereby Become Defiled With A Defilement And A Degeneracy That They Could Not Remove, While Still Incredibly Claiming That They Had Not Broken Free At All. But Now The Truth Was Out In The Open As A Result Of Their Behaviour And They Were Discovering That They Had Made A Poor Choice (Jeremiah 2:20-28 ). In a series of vivid illustrations YHWH brings out Judah’s folly. Even though it was He Who had of old delivered them from bondage,... read more
