Jeremiah 2:31

Jeremiah 2:31

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.

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 2:30

Jeremiah 2:32 >>

O generation - O ye men of this generation. See - You shall see the thing with your eyes, because your ears are shut against it. A wilderness - Have I been like the wilderness of Arabia, have not I accommodated you with all necessaries? A land of darkness - As it were a land uninhabitable, because of the total want of light. Have I been a God of no use or comfort to them, that they thus leave me? Have they had nothing from me but misery and affliction? We - Words of pride and boasting.
