Jeremiah 2:33
Douay-Rheims
Why dost thou endeavour to shew thy way good to seek my love, thou who has also taught thy malices to be thy ways,
Francis Patrick Kenrick
P. "Why trimmest thou thy way?" L. "Why ornamentest thou thy way?" II. is thought to sig nify to adorn. The prophet questions the nation, why she seeks to make good her claims to Divine favor, whilst otherwise neglecting to please God, and even provoking Him by evil practices.
