“Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.”
Jeremiah 2:36 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 2:36
The verb 'gaddest' conveys restless movement without purpose, depicting Israel's frantic pursuit of political alliances as spiritual adultery. Their shifting allegiances between Egypt and Assyria demonstrate covenant unfaithfulness—seeking security in human strength rather than divine providence. The predicted shame recalls Reformed theology's teaching that all substitutes for God ultimately fail and disappoint. This vacillation between foreign powers mirrors the human heart's tendency to seek salvation in created things rather than the Creator.
