Barnes' Notes

<< Jeremiah 2:10

Jeremiah 2:12 >>

Jeremiah 2:11

A nation - A Gentile nation, in strong antithesis to people, the appellation of Israel.

Their glory - Though the worship of the one true God is a nation' s greatest glory, yet it is irksome because it puts a constraint on human passions.

That which doth not profit - Israel had exchanged the prosperity which was God' s reward of obedience for the calamities which resulted from idol-worship.
