Commentary on Jeremiah 2:36
Theological / DevotionalWhy gaddest thou about? That is, why was the nation in such haste to change its policy and shift its alliances?
Ashamed of Egypt. To his disgrace and ruin Ahaz had formed alliances with the king of Assyria (see 2 Kings 16:10; 2 Chron. 28:16–21). The prophet predicted that an alliance with Egypt would result in similar shame and confusion. The prediction was literally fulfilled in the reign of Zedekiah (Jer. 37:5–10).
