Jeremiah 2:32

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 ζωην και πνοην , "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.
