Jer 3:2 | NET2full | STEP | “ Look up at the hilltops and consider this. Where have you not been ravished ? You waited for those gods like a thief lying in wait in the wilderness . You defiled the land by your wicked prostitution to other gods.

‏ Jeremiah 3:2

2 “Look up at the hilltops and consider this. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and see.”}
Where have you not been ravished? ^{▼▼sn The rhetorical question expects the answer “nowhere,” which asserts the widespread nature of the nation’s idolatry. The prophets often compare Judah’s religious infidelity, idolatry, to adultery or prostitution. Jeremiah goes a step further in exposing their folly by portraying their willing acts of idolatry as being sexually violated.}
You waited for those gods like a thief lying in wait in the wilderness. ^{▼▼tn Heb “You sat for them [the lovers, i.e., the foreign gods] beside the road like an Arab in the desert.”}
You defiled the land by your wicked prostitution to other gods. ^{▼▼tn Heb “by your prostitution and your wickedness.” This is probably an example of hendiadys where, when two nouns are joined by “and,” one expresses the main idea and the other qualifies it.}
