Scripture focus

Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 3:2

Theological / Devotional

High places. The scenes of Judah’s spiritual adulteries (see 2 Kings 21:3; cf. Jer. 2:20).

In the ways. Like a prostitute, to entice passers-by (see Gen. 38:14; Prov. 7:12; Eze. 16:24, 25).

As the Arabian. Judah’s eagerness for the idolatrous rites of the nature cults is compared with that of a desert bandit who lies in wait to despoil a passing caravan.
