Jeremiah 2:33 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Why trimmest thou thy way...? — The verb is the same as that rendered amend” in Jeremiah 7:3; Jeremiah 7:5, and was probably often on the lips of those who made a show of reformation. Here it is used with a scornful irony, “What means this reform, this show of amendment of thy ways, which leads only to a further indulgence in adulterous love?”

Hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. — Better, hast thou also taught thy ways wickednesses. The professed change for the better was really for the worse.

Jeremiah 2:33

33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
