Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 2:6

"Neither said they, Where is Jehovah that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?" — Jeremiah 2:6 (ASV)

Modern research has shown that this description applies only to limited portions of the route of the Israelites through the Sinaitic peninsula.
