The Social Scene in Jeremiah's Day
Jeremiah talks about people worshiping different gods, probably the gods of Egypt. Israelites would not have distinguished between having Egypt as an ally that keeps you safe from Babylon and their gods. To take on Egypt as an allies is to take on their gods. If you really look at our religious scene, you'll see a lot of the same things in our culture. Some people worship being who we would call God with aspects of Islam or Hinduism or something in it.
