Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 2:36

"Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt also, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria." — Jeremiah 2:36 (ASV)

First, they trusted in Assyria to save them; and when that broken reed failed them, then they trusted in Egypt. And in a similar fashion, we go from one false hope to another—from one carnal confidence to another—gadding about to change our way, yet all the while refusing to turn to the Lord.
