Jeremiah2:11

11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit .

q. d. No, they are unmoveable and fixed to their Idols, although they are false Gods, what they receive from their fathers, they tenaciously hold.

Viz. The true God, who was their glory, a Metonymy of the Adjunct, Psal. 106.20. and who always did them good, giving them cause to glory in him, and to make their boast of him.

For those which never did, or can do them good, that have no essence, or power; but of whom they must necessarily be ashamed, as ver. 26.
