Jeremiah 2:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Hath a nation changed their gods? q.d. No, they are unmovable and fixed to their idols, although they are false gods; what they receive from their fathers they tenaciously hold. Their glory, viz. the true God, who was their glory; a metonymy of the adjunct, Psalms 106:20; and who always did them good, giving them cause to glory in him, and to make their boast of him. For that which doth not profit; for those which never did or can do them good, that have no essence or power; but of whom they must necessarily be ashamed, as Jeremiah 2:26.

Jeremiah 2:11

11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
