The chapter is a prophetic oracle in which God, speaking through Jeremiah, indicts Israel for apostasy \u2014 abandoning their covenant relationship for idol worship. The central accusation is captured in the vivid image of Israel forsaking a \"fountain of living waters\" (God) to hew out broken cisterns that hold nothing. God recalls the tenderness of Israel's early devotion in the wilderness, then catalogues their failures: priests who do not seek God, prophets who prophesy by Baal, leaders who have turned their backs. The text is distinctive for its extended use of erotic and shame-based metaphors \u2014 Israel as a bride who has forgotten her wedding attire, as a promiscuous she-camel or wild ass in heat, as a vine that has turned bitter \u2014 to convey the depth of the betrayal. The parallel presentation of Hebrew (with numeric Strong's tags) alongside the Greek LXX makes this a text-critical resource, inviting comparison between the two ancient traditions and their occasionally divergent renderings of key terms and images.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 2","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":3232}
