Commentary on Jeremiah 2:33

Theological / Devotional

Why trimmest thou? Judah is represented as decking herself as a harlot to seek illicit relations with foreign nations and their idols, while God, her true glory, is forgotten.

Wicked ones. That is, wicked women, as is indicated by the feminine plural in the Hebrew. Judah had become so vile that even wicked women could learn from her. The wickedness of God’s chosen people not only confirmed the heathen in their idolatry but also taught them new ways of practicing it.
