Jeremiah 2:25

Withhold, etc.--that is, abstain from incontinence; figuratively for idolatry [HOUBIGANT].

unshod, etc.--do not run so violently in pursuing lovers, as to wear out thy shoes: do not "thirst" so incontinently after sexual intercourse. HITZIG thinks the reference is to penances performed barefoot to idols, and the thirst occasioned by loud and continued invocations to them.

no hope-- (Jeremiah 18:12; Isaiah 57:10). "It is hopeless," that is, I am desperately resolved to go on in my own course.

strangers--that is, laying aside the metaphor, "strange gods" (Jeremiah 3:13; Deuteronomy 32:16).
