Jerusalem will not receive a warm embrace from the lovers she turns to. The nations she has looked to for help, instead of trusting in her true husband (Jeremiah 3:1), never intended to help her. They only sought to exploit and plunder her. They come now as the enemies that despise her
and they seek her life.
30 Et toi, dévastée, que vas-tu faire? Tu te revêtiras de cramoisi, tu te pareras d'ornements d'or, Tu mettras du fard à tes yeux; Mais c'est en vain que tu t'embelliras; Tes amants te méprisent, Ils en veulent à ta vie.
