This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_4:30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; [thy] lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Ver. 30. Though thou rendest thy face with paint.] Jezebel-like, {2Ki_9:30 Eze_23:40}
In vain shalt thou make thyself fair,] i.e., Seek to ingratiate with the Chaldees, by submitting to them, and worshipping their idols.
Thy lovers will despise thee.] As an old withered strumpet, and now out of date. See Eze_16:36; Eze_23:22.
