Jeremiah 2:6

Jeremiah 2:6

4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel.

5 Thus says the Lord:
^a“What injustice have your fathers found in Me,
That they have gone far from Me,
^bHave followed¹ idols,
And have become idolaters?

6 Neither did they say, ‘Where is the Lord,
Who ^abrought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who led us through ^bthe wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and pits,
Through a land of drought and the shadow of death,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no one dwelt?’

7 I brought you into ^aa bountiful country,
To eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you ^bdefiled My land
And made My heritage an abomination.

8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the ^alaw did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
^bThe prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 2:5

Jeremiah 2:7 >>

Neither - They never concerned themselves about what God had done for them, which should have engaged them to cleave to him. Of drought - Where they had no water but by miracle. Death - Bringing forth nothing that might support life, therefore nothing but death could be expected; and besides, yielding so many venomous creatures, as many enemies that they went in continual danger of. No man dwelt - As having in it no accommodation for travellers, much less for habitation.
