from the hills
Jeremiah 3:23
3:23 from the hills. It is not the hills “from whence cometh my help” (contrast Psalm 121:1, which is often incorrectly punctuated, and thus misread to imply that hills can somehow convey spiritual strength). The fact is that the hills and other such “high places” were centers of idol worship and spiritual adultery—even of physical whoredoms—leading to God’s eventual judgment on both Israel and Judah.
