Jeremiah 2:14

Jeremiah 2:14

12 Be astonished, O heavens, at this,
And be horribly afraid;
Be very desolate,” says the Lord.

13 “For My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken Me, the ^afountain of living waters,
And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.

14 “Is Israel ^aa servant?
Is he a homeborn slave?
Why is he plundered?

15 ^aThe young lions roared at him, and growled;
They made his land waste;
His cities are burned, without inhabitant.

16 Also the people of¹ Noph and ^aTahpanhes
Have¹ broken the crown of your head.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 2:13

Jeremiah 2:15 >>

A slave - Slave is here added to home - born to express the baseness of his service, because the master had power to make those slaves who were born of slaves in his house. Why - Why is he thus tyrannized over, as if strangers had the same right over him as owners over their slaves?
