Commentary on Jeremiah 2:37
The image of going forth with 'hands upon thine head' depicts mourning, shame, and captivity. God's rejection of their 'confidences' (plural, indicating multiple false securities) leads to futility in all their endeavors. This verse embodies the Reformed principle that apart from God's blessing, all human effort proves vain. The phrase 'thou shalt not prosper' recalls the covenant curses of Deuteronomy 28, where disobedience leads to frustration in every endeavor. Only God's sovereign election and covenant faithfulness can establish true success.
