Commentators unanimously identify Judah's 'lovers' as the political allies, like Egypt and Assyria, they had trusted instead of God. John Calvin calls this a form of spiritual adultery. The verse shows that when God's judgment comes, these worldly sources of security will inevitably fail and abandon His people. It's a stark reminder to place ultimate trust in God alone, not in human powers or institutions.
