Jeremiah 2:6
_ _ Neither said they, Where, etc. — The very words which God uses (Isaiah 63:9, Isaiah 63:11, Isaiah 63:13), when, as it were, reminding Himself of His former acts of love to Israel as a ground for interposing in their behalf again. When they would not say, Where is Jehovah, etc., God Himself at last said it for them (compare Jeremiah 2:2).
_ _ deserts ... pits — The desert between Mount Sinai and Palestine abounds in chasms and pits, in which beasts of burden often sink down to the knees. “Shadow of death” refers to the darkness of the caverns amidst the rocky precipices (Deuteronomy 8:15; Deuteronomy 32:10). |
Jeremiah 2:6
Neither — They never concerned themselves about what God had done for them, which should have engaged them to cleave to him. Of drought — Where they had no water but by miracle. Death — Bringing forth nothing that might support life, therefore nothing but death could be expected; and besides, yielding so many venomous creatures, as many enemies that they went in continual danger of. No man dwelt — As having in it no accommodation for travellers, much less for habitation. |
Jeremiah 2:6
Neither said they, Where [is] the LORD that brought us out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of (g) the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
(g) Where for lack of all things needed for life, you could look for nothing every hour but present death. |
