This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_2:5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
Ver. 5. What iniquity have your fathers found in me?] How unreasonable was their apostasy! and how senseless is your pleading from their example! Nothing is more irrational than irreligion.
That they are gone far from me.] Are ye weary of receiving so many benefits by one man? said Themistocles to his ungrateful countrymen.
And have walked after vanity.] An idol is nothing at all, but only in the vain opinion of the idolater.
And are become vain,] scil., " In their imaginations"; {Rom_1:21} as vain as their very idols. {Psa_115:8}
