Jeremiah 2

God expresses his continued regard for his people, long since chosen, Jeremiah 2:1-3 . He then expostulates with them on their ungrateful and worse than heathen return to his regard, Jeremiah 2:4-11 ; at which even the inanimate creation must be astonished, Jeremiah 2:12 , Jeremiah 2:13 . After this their guilt is declared to be the sole cause of the calamities which their enemies had power to inflict on them, Jeremiah 2:14-17 . They are upbraided for their alliances with idolatrous countries, Jeremiah 2:18 , Jeremiah 2:19 ; and for their strong propensity to idolatry, notwithstanding all the care and tender mercy of God, Jeremiah 2:20-29 . Even the chastenings of the Almighty have produced in this people no repentance, Jeremiah 2:30 . The chapter concludes with compassionately remonstrating against their folly and ingratitude in revolting so deeply from God, and with warning them of the fearful consequences, Jeremiah 2:31 , Jeremiah 2:37 .
