Jeremías 2:35 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:35

Yet thou sayest, because I am innocent
Or, "that I am innocent"; though guilty of such flagrant and notorious crimes, acting like the adulterous woman, ( Proverbs 30:20 ) to whom the Jews are all along compared in this chapter; which shows the hardness of their hearts, and their impudence in sinning: surely his anger shall turn from me;
the anger of God, since innocent; or, "let his anger be turned from me", as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; pleading for the removing of judgments upon the foot of innocency, which is pretended: behold, I will plead with thee;
enter into judgment with thee, and examine the case closely and thoroughly: because thou sayest, I have not sinned;
it would have been much better to have acknowledged sin, and pleaded for mercy, than to insist upon innocence, when the proof was so evident; nothing can be got by entering into judgment with God, upon such a foundation; and to sin, and deny it, is an aggravation of it: the denial of sin is a double sin, as the wise man says, whom Kimchi cites.

Jeremías 2:35 In-Context

33 »¡Cómo maquinas y tramas para ganarte a tus amantes!
¡Hasta una prostituta veterana podría aprender de ti!

34 Tus vestidos están manchados con la sangre de los inocentes y de los pobres,
¡aunque no los sorprendiste robando tu casa!

35 Aun así dices:
“No he hecho nada malo.
¡Seguro que Dios no está enojado conmigo!”;
pero ahora te castigaré severamente
porque afirmas no haber pecado.

36 Primero acá, después allá,
saltas de un aliado a otro pidiendo ayuda.
Pero tus nuevos amigos de Egipto te fallarán,
tal como Asiria lo hizo antes.

37 Desesperado, serás llevado al destierro
con las manos en la cabeza,
porque el Señor
ha rechazado a las naciones en las cuales confías.
Ellas no te ayudarán en absoluto.
