“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.”
Jeremiah 2:32 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 2:32
God employs a striking rhetorical question to highlight the unnatural character of Israel's apostasy. While brides meticulously remember their wedding ornaments (Hebrew 'keseth') and maidens their adornments, Israel has forgotten the LORD who redeemed them from Egypt. This demonstrates that spiritual amnesia regarding God's covenant faithfulness is more unnatural than any earthly forgetfulness. The phrase 'days without number' emphasizes the habitual, prolonged nature of their unfaithfulness, revealing total depravity's tendency toward spiritual forgetfulness apart from God's sustaining grace.
