Context — God's Complaint Against Israelgenerated
Jeremiah 2:20 is part of a larger discourse where God expresses His disappointment with Israel for rejecting His guidance.

This passage serves as a reminder of the consequences of forsaking divine authority, as seen in the context of the preceding verses that emphasize the bitterness of abandoning God.

The Key Word — שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי, sha.Var.tigenerated
The verb שָׁבַר (shabar) means to break or shatter. It conveys a sense of destruction, indicating that Israel has violently rejected the yoke of God's authority. The parsing as a perfect tense suggests a completed action, emphasizing the finality of their rebellion.
This word reflects a significant moment of defiance, where Israel actively chooses to reject the constraints that God placed upon them for their own good. The use of this verb here illustrates the depth of their rebellion and the consequences that follow.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations generally agree on the meaning of שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי as 'I broke off'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי (I broke off) governs the structure of the verse, with multiple phrases providing context. The verse begins with a causal conjunction כִּי (for), linking the action of breaking the yoke to Israel's declaration of independence from God.
The sentence structure emphasizes the rebellious actions of Israel, with the verbs נִתַּ֙קְתִּי֙ (I tore off) and וַתֹּאמְרִ֖י (and you said) reinforcing their defiance.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the verb שָׁבַ֣רְתִּי is rendered as συνέτριψας, which also means 'to shatter'. This choice reflects a similar understanding of the action as one of violent separation from God's authority.
The use of this Greek term suggests a continuity in the theme of breaking away from constraints, aligning with the Hebrew's strong connotation of rebellion.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 2:20 expresses God's frustration with Israel for breaking free from His guidance. God describes how Israel has rejected His authority, symbolized by breaking a yoke and tearing off chains, and has chosen to act unfaithfully, likening their behavior to that of a prostitute.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Breaking the yoke symbolizes rejecting God's authority and guidance, choosing instead to follow their own path.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) I have broken thy yoke.—Better, with the LXX. and Vulg., thou hast broken thy yoke—i.e., cast off all allegiance and restraint. The Authorised Version, which follows the received Hebrew reading, may, however, be understood as referring to the deliverance of Israel from their Egyptian bondage. Thou saidst, I will not transgress—Perhaps, following a various reading adopted by the LXX., Vulg., and Luther, I will not serve. The words so taken paint vividly the wilful defiance of the rebellious nation. It threw off its allegiance. If we retain the Authorised version rendering, it would be better to take the verb in the present, I transgress not, as expressing a like defiance. When.—Better…

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the BibleVerse 20. Of old time I have broken thy yoke] It is thought by able critics that the verbs should be read in the second person singular, THOU hast broken thy yoke, THOU hast burst thy bonds; and thus the Septuagint, συνετριψαςτονζυγονσου, "thou hast broken thy yoke." And the Vulgate, Confregisti jugum meum, rupisti, vincula mea; "Thou hast broken my yoke; thou hast burst my bonds;" and so the Arabic. But the Chaldee gives it a meaning which removes the difficulty: "I have broken the yoke of the people from thy neck; I have cut your bonds asunder." And when this was done, they did promise fair: for "thou saidst, I will not transgress;" but still they played the harlot-committed idolatrous…

Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests.
