Jeremías 2:32

Listen to Jeremías 2:32

Jeremías 2:32 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:32

Can a maid forget her ornaments
Which she has provided for her wedding day, and is then to wear, and which may be the next; such as ear rings, bracelets, and jewels, which are never out of her mind, and can scarce sleep for thinking of them, how richly she shall be adorned with them; wherefore it follows: or a bride her attire?
or, "her bindings" F15; her knots about her head or breast. The word is rendered "head bands" in ( Isaiah 3:20 ) and here, by the Septuagint version, "her stomacher"; set with sparkling precious stones; see ( Isaiah 61:10 ) , these things her heart being set upon, and priding herself with, cannot be forgotten by her, at least not long: yet, my people have forgotten me days without number;
which shows great stupidity and ingratitude; the Lord not being so much to them, from whom they had received so many favours, as the ornaments of a maid, and the attire of a bride, are to them.

Jeremías 2:32 In-Context

30 Por demás he azotado vuestros hijos; no han recibido corrección. Vuestro cuchillo devoró a vuestros profetas como león destrozador.
31 ¡Oh generación! Ved vosotros la palabra del SEÑOR. ¿He sido yo soledad a Israel, o tierra de tinieblas? ¿Por qué ha dicho mi pueblo: Señores somos; nunca más vendremos a ti?
32 ¿Por ventura se olvida la virgen de su atavío, o la desposada de sus galas? Mas mi pueblo se ha olvidado de mí por días que no tienen número.
33 ¿Para qué abonas tu camino para hallar amor, pues aun a las malvadas enseñaste tus caminos?
34 Aun en tus faldas se halló la sangre de las almas de los pobres, de los inocentes; no los hallaste en ningún delito, sino por todas estas cosas.
