Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 2:25

Theological / Devotional

Withhold thy foot. The sense seems to be: Cease this mad miming after idols till your feet are bare and your throat parched.

There is no hope. The exhortation is of no avail. Judah is determined to go on with her sinful course. She reasons that she has gone too far to turn back.

Strangers. Here the strange gods (see Jer. 3:13; Deut. 12:2 ; 32:16).
