Jeremiah 2:13 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Of living waters — A metaphor taken from springs, called living, because they never cease, or intermit; such had God's care and kindness been over them. Cisterns — Either their idols, which are empty vain things, that never answer expectation, or the Assyrians, and Egyptians. Indeed all other supports, that are trusted to besides God, are but broken vessels.

Jeremiah 2:13

13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
