Jeremiah 3:24

_ _ shame — that is, the idols, whose worship only covers us with shame (Jeremiah 11:13; Hosea 9:10). So far from bringing us “salvation,” they have cost us our cattle and even our children, whom we have sacrificed to them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 3:20-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Shame — Sin, which causes shame, for that brought shame first into the world. Devoured — This hath been the fruit of our labour.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
