Jeremiah 2:11
_ _ glory — Jehovah, the glory of Israel (Psalms 106:20; Romans 1:23). The Shekinah, or cloud resting on the sanctuary, was the symbol of “the glory of the Lord” (1 Kings 8:11; compare Romans 9:4). The golden calf was intended as an image of the true God (compare Exodus 32:4, Exodus 32:5), yet it is called an “idol” (Acts 7:41). It (like Roman Catholic images) was a violation of the second commandment, as the heathen multiplying of gods is a violation of the first.
_ _ not profit — (Jeremiah 2:8). |
Jeremiah 2:11
Their glory — The true God, who was their glory; and who always did them good, giving them cause to glory in him. |
Jeremiah 2:11
Hath a nation changed [their] gods, which [are] yet no gods? but my people have changed their (q) glory for [that which] doth not (r) profit.
(q) That is, God who is their glory, and who makes them glorious above all other people, reproving the Jews that they were less diligent to serve the true God, than were the idolaters to honour their vanities.
(r) Meaning the idols who were their destruction, (Psalms 106:36). |

Psalms 115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
