Jeremias 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:21

Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed
It is usual to compare the people of the Jews to a vineyard, and to vines; and their settlement in the land of Canaan to the planting of vines in a vineyard; see ( Isaiah 5:1-7 ) ( Exodus 15:17 ) ( Psalms 80:8-15 ) . Kimchi says this is spoken concerning Abraham; no doubt respect is had to the Jewish fathers, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs, Moses, Joshua, and Caleb, and the like; who, having the true and right seed of grace in them, became like choice and noble vines, and brought forth much fruit, and were deserving of imitation by their posterity: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine
unto me?
like a vine that grows in the woods, and brings forth wild grapes; so these, their sons, degenerating in practice from their fathers, became corrupt in themselves, and unprofitable to God. The Targum of the whole is,

``I set you before me as the plant of a choice vine, all of you doing truth; but how are you changed before me in your corrupt works? ye have declined from my worship, ye are become as a vine in which there is no profit.''

Jeremias 2:21 In-Context

19 A tua malícia te castigará, e as tuas apostasias te repreenderão; sabe, pois, e vê, que má e amarga coisa é o teres deixado o Senhor teu Deus, e o não haver em ti o temor de mim, diz o Senhor Deus dos exércitos.
20 Já há muito quebraste o teu jugo, e rompeste as tuas ataduras, e disseste: Não servirei: Pois em todo outeiro alto e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa te deitaste, fazendo-te prostituta.
21 Todavia eu mesmo te plantei como vide excelente, uma semente inteiramente fiel; como, pois, te tornaste para mim uma planta degenerada, de vida estranha?
22 Pelo que, ainda que te laves com salitre, e uses muito sabão, a mancha da tua iniqüidade está diante de mim, diz o Senhor Deus.
23 Como dizes logo: Não estou contaminada nem andei após Baal? Vê o teu caminho no vale, conhece o que fizeste; dromedária ligeira és, que anda torcendo os seus caminhos;
