This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_2:33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
Ver. 33. Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love?] Cur bonificas? so Calvin rendereth it why dost thou make good thy way? that is, set a good gloss upon it, even the best side outwards. The same word is used of Jezebel’s dressing her head. {2Ki_9:30} What need this whorish trick and trimming, if all were right with thee?
“ Iactas vaenales, quas vis obtrudere, merces. ”
Therefore also hast thou taught the wicked ones thy way.] Heb., The wicked women - for the word is feminine - those she-sinners may learn immodesty of thee, who are meretricissimae. And for this it is that thou art pointed at with the finger as it were. {Jer_2:34-35}
