Jeremiah 2:34

Jeremiah 2:34

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

33 “Why do you beautify your way to seek love?
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.

34 Also on your skirts is found
^aThe blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by¹ secret search,
But plainly on all these things.

35 ^aYet you say, ‘Because I am innocent,
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, ^bI will plead My case against you,
^cBecause you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

36 ^aWhy do you gad about so much to change your way?
Also ^byou shall be ashamed of Egypt ^cas you were ashamed of Assyria.

37 Indeed you will go forth from him
With your hands on ^ayour head;
For the Lord has rejected your trusted allies,
And you will ^bnot prosper by them.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 2:33

Jeremiah 2:35 >>

Skirts - Of thy garments: the tokens of cruelty may be seen openly there. Innocents - In thee is found the murder expressed here by blood of innocent persons, murdering souls as well as bodies. Search - Heb. by digging; as if the earth had covered the blood, or as if they had committed their wickedness in some obscure places. These - Upon thy garments, exposed openly to publick view.
