Context — The Consequences of Unfaithfulnessgenerated

34Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor, though you did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things
35you say, ‘I am innocent. Surely His anger will turn from me.’ Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36How unstable you are, constantly changing your ways! You will be disappointed by Egypt just as you were by Assyria.
37Moreover, you will leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not prosper by their help.”

Jeremiah 2:37 speaks to the people of Israel, illustrating the dire consequences of their misplaced trust in foreign alliances. The preceding verses highlight their moral and spiritual failings, culminating in this warning of shame and lack of success. The prophet Jeremiah emphasizes that reliance on unreliable sources will lead to disappointment and defeat.

The Key Word מָאַ֤ס, ma.'Asgenerated

The verb מָאַס (ma'ac) means to reject or spurn. It conveys a strong sense of disdain or dismissal, indicating that something is deemed unworthy or unacceptable. The parsing as a perfect verb in the third person masculine singular shows that this action has already taken place, reflecting God's decisive rejection of those in whom the people have placed their trust.

This rejection is significant in the context of the verse, as it underscores the futility of relying on alliances that God has deemed unworthy. The use of this verb indicates a break in relationship and trust, emphasizing the consequences of Israel's choices.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The translations generally agree on the meaning of the verse.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is תֵּֽצְאִ֔י (te.tze.'I), meaning 'you will go out', which governs the structure. The sentence includes several phrases: a prepositional phrase indicating the place from which the subject will leave, a noun phrase describing the subject's hands, and a clause explaining the reason for this action.

The Hebrew word order emphasizes the actions and their consequences, with the verb at the forefront, highlighting the urgency of the warning.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates מָאַ֤ס as ἀπώσατο (apōsato), meaning 'cast aside' or 'rejected'. This choice reflects a similar sentiment of dismissal, indicating that the Greek translators understood the weight of God's rejection in this context.

This translation choice aligns with the overall message of the verse, emphasizing the seriousness of placing trust in unreliable sources.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Jeremiah 2:37 warns that the people will leave a place in shame, with their hands on their heads, because the LORD has rejected those they trust. This rejection means they will not succeed by relying on others for help.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean that the LORD has rejected those you trust?

It indicates that God has deemed those alliances or sources of support as unworthy, leading to the people's shame and failure.

Why are the hands on the head a sign of shame?

In biblical culture, placing hands on the head symbolizes mourning or defeat, indicating a state of despair.

What is the significance of the phrase 'you will not prosper'?

This phrase emphasizes that reliance on unreliable sources will lead to failure and disappointment, reinforcing the need for true trust in God.

How does this verse relate to the overall message of Jeremiah?

Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. What are some areas in my life where I might be placing trust in unreliable sources?

  3. In what ways can I seek to rely more on God for my needs and guidance?
  4. How does the imagery of shame in this verse resonate with my own experiences of disappointment?

Verse 37. Thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head] Thou shalt find all thy confidence in vain, - thy hope disappointed; - and thy state reduced to desperation. The hand being placed on the head was the evidence of deep sorrow, occasioned by utter desolation. See the case of Tamar, when ruined and abandoned by her brother Amnon, 2 Samuel 13:19. Thou shalt not prosper in them.] They shall all turn to thy disadvantage; and this as we shall see in the history of this people, was literally fulfilled. O what a grievous and bitter thing it is to sin against the Lord, and have him for an enemy!

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests.
