Jeremiah 2:30

Jeremiah 2:30

28 But ^awhere are your gods that you have made for yourselves?
Let them arise,
If they ^bcan save you in the time of your¹ trouble;
For ^caccording to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.

29 “Why will you plead with Me?
You all have transgressed against Me,” says the Lord.

30 “In vain I have ^achastened your children;
They ^breceived no correction.
Your sword has ^cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.

31 “O generation, see the word of the Lord!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We¹ are lords;
^aWe will come no more to You’?

32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ^ahave forgotten Me days without number.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 2:29

Jeremiah 2:31 >>

Children - Your inhabitants in every city, they being frequently called the children of such a city. Correction - Instruction: though they were corrected, yet they would not be instructed. Your sword - You have been so far from receiving instruction, that you have, by the sword, and other ways of destruction, murdered those that I have sent to reprove you.
