Jeremiah 2:23

Context

2:23 “How can you say, ‘I have not made myself unclean.

I have not paid allegiance to¹ the gods called Baal.’

Just look at the way you have behaved in the Valley of Hinnom!²

Think about the things you have done there!

You are like a flighty, young female camel

that rushes here and there, crisscrossing its path.³

Jeremiah 2:29

Context

2:29 “Why do you try to refute me?⁴

All of you have rebelled against me,”

says the Lord.

¹tn Heb “I have not gone/followed after.” See the translator’s note on 2:5 for the meaning and usage of this idiom.

²tn Heb “Look at your way in the valley.” The valley is an obvious reference to the Valley of Hinnom where Baal and Molech were worshiped and child sacrifice was practiced.

³sn The metaphor is intended to depict Israel’s lack of clear direction and purpose without the Lord’s control.

⁴sn This is still part of the Lord’s case against Israel. See 2:9 for the use of the same Hebrew verb. The Lord here denies their counter claims that they do not deserve to be punished.
