Jeremiah 17:2 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

While their children remember their altars - Perhaps an allusion to their sacrifices of children to Moloch. Present perhaps at some such blood-stained rite, its horrors would be engraven forever upon the memory.

Groves - “Asherahs,” i. e., wooden images of Astarte (see Exodus 34:13 note).

Jeremiah 17:2

2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
