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.''

21 Eu a plantei como uma videira seleta,de semente absolutamente pura.Como, então, contra mimvocê se tornou uma videira degenerada e selvagem?
22 Mesmo que você se lave com sodae com muito sabão,a mancha da sua iniquidade permanecerá diante de mim”,diz o Soberano SENHOR.
23 “Como você pode dizer que não se contaminoue que não correu atrás dos baalins?Reveja o seu procedimento no valee considere o que você tem feito.Você é como uma camela jovem e ariscaque corre para todos os lados;
