Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - Their forefathers. The Hebrew has "their fathers, the former ones." The allusion is to the sins of the Israelites in the wilderness, and in Canaan under the judges. The prophets are constantly pointing their hearers back to those early times, either for warning (as here) or for encouragement (Jeremiah 2:1; Hosea 2:15; Isaiah 1:26; Isaiah 63:11, 13). And they went after; rather and they (themselves) have gone after. The pronoun is expressed in the Hebrew, to indicate that the prophet's contemporaries are now the subject.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Their forefathers.--The Hebrew is more specific--their first fathers (as in Isaiah 43:27), with special reference to the idolatries of the forty years' wandering and the first settlement in Canaan.They went after other gods.--The Hebrew pronoun is emphatically repeated, as pointing back to the subject of the first clause of the verse, the men of Jeremiah's own time--"they have gone after other gods."
