This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
Ver. 32. Can a maid forget her ornaments?] Not lightly or easily, as minding them many times more than is meet, and then their ornaments are but the nest of pride; and while they think to gain more credit by their garments than by their graces, they are much mistaken.
Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number,] i.e., Time out of mind, whenas God should be remembered at every breath we draw, since from him we have æùçí êáé ðíïçí , "life and breath," as the apostle saith elegantly. {Act_17:25} But into such a dead lethargy hath sin cast most people, that God is forgotten by them, and his service neglected.
