Ministry on This Verse

 In {this} chapter we find him in his public ministry. He has had to do with God in secret. He is now ready to face the people openly. (Chapter 1 by H.A. Ironside)
 {Ch. 2:1-3:5} The earnest pleading of the insulted and forgotten Lord, His grace and compassion towards the guilty nation, blended with solemn warnings of dreadful days to come if the heart is not turned back to Him—all together make up a discourse that might have moved the very stones; but alas, we read of no response on the part of hardened, willful Judah. (Chapter 2 by H.A. Ironside)
 I think the second chapter of Jeremiah is very like the second chapter of Revelation. The Lord there says to the Church of Ephesus, " I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love" (Rev. 2:4)., It is not, "lost thy first love." I do not think that is a scriptural thought. It is, "left thy first love." Something has come in, says that blessed lover in Rev. 2, that has eclipsed Me, and all your affection for Me, and interest in Me has gone (Backsliding in Heart by W.T.P. Wolston)
