Jeremías 2:26 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:26

As the thief is ashamed when be is found
Taken in the fact, or convicted of it; that is, as the Targum explains it, one that has been accounted faithful, and is found a thief; for, otherwise, those who have lost their character, and are notorious for their thefts and robberies, are not ashamed when they are found out, taken, and convicted: so is the house of Israel ashamed:
of their idolatry, or ought to be; or "shall be", as the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions render it; though not now, yet hereafter, sooner or later: they, their kings, their princes, and their priests and their prophets;
all being guilty; kings setting ill examples, and the people following them; the priests being priests of Baal, and the prophets false ones.

Jeremías 2:26 In-Context

24 ¡Asna salvaje que tiras al monte!Cuando ardes en deseos, olfateas el viento;cuando estás en celo, no hay quien te detenga.Ningún macho que te busque tiene que fatigarse:cuando estás en celo, fácilmente te encuentra.
25 »No andes con pies descalzos, que te lastimas,ni dejes que la garganta se te reseque.Pero tú insistes: “¡No tengo remedio!Amo a dioses extraños, y tras ellos me iré”.
26 »El pueblo de Israel se avergonzará,junto con sus reyes y autoridades,sacerdotes y profetas,como se avergüenza el ladrón cuando lo descubren.
27 A un trozo de madera le dicen:“Tú eres mi padre”,y a una piedra le repiten:“Tú me has dado a luz”.Me han vuelto la espalda;no quieren darme la cara.Pero les llega la desgracia y me dicen:“¡Levántate y sálvanos!”
28 ¿Dónde están, Judá, los dioses que te fabricaste?¡Tienes tantos dioses como ciudades!¡Diles que se levanten!¡A ver si te salvan cuando caigas en desgracia!
