エレミヤ書 15:19-20 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 15:15-21

Here, as before, we have, I. The prophet's humble address to God, containing a representation both of his integrity and of the hardships he underwent notwithstanding. It is a matter of comfort to us that, whatever ails us, we have a God to go to, before whom we may spread our case and to whose omniscience we may appeal, as the prophet here, ?O Lord! thou knowest; thou knowest my sincerity, which men are resolved they will not acknowledge; thou knowest my distress, which men disdain to take... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore thus saith the Lord, if thou return ,.... From thine unbelief, diffidence, and impenitence, and repent of them; expressed in the preceding verses: then will I bring thee again ; or, "restore thee F19 אשיבך "restituam te", Tigurine version. "; pardon his sin, and return him to his post and place, to his office and ministry in it, and confirm and establish him therein: and thou shalt stand before me ; not only as a petitioner for the people; see Jeremiah 15:1 , but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:20

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall ,.... As he had promised him, when he first called him to his office, Jeremiah 1:18 , and so would not be as a liar to him: and they shall fight against thee ; by words and blows, by menaces and imprisonment: but they shall not prevail against thee ; so as to cause him to call in his words, and contradict his prophecies; or so as to take away his life: for I am with thee, to save thee, and deliver thee, saith the Lord ;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:19

If thou return - By repentance unto me, - Then will I bring thee again - Restore thee to thy own country. But some think the words are spoken to the prophet in reference to his ministry. He had greatly repined because of the persecutions which he endured. The Lord reprehends him, and is about to take from him the prophetic gift; but exhorts him first to take the precious from the vile - not to attend to the deceitful words of the people, but boldly declare the message he had given him;... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:19

Verse 19 From this answer of God we may gather more clearly the design of the Prophet, for his purpose was, in order more fully to prove the people guilty, to set before their eyes as it were his own perverseness. Had he spoken only according to the heroic elevation of his own mind, so as not to appear touched by any human feeling, they might have derided him as hardhearted or a fanatic, for so we find that the proud of this world speak and think of the faithful servants of Christ. They call... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:20

Verse 20 As Jeremiah might have objected and said, that the burden was too heavy for him, if he only attempted to break down the contumacy of the people, for he was alone, and we have seen how great was the ferocity and also the cruelty of his adversaries, — as he might have shunned his commission, it being too much for his strength, hence God comes to his aid and bids him to take courage, for he was fortified by a help from heaven, I have set thee, he says, for a brazen fortified wall to this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-21

These verses come in very unexpectedly, and are certainly not to be regarded as a continuation of the preceding discourse. They describe some deeply pathetic moment of the prophet's inner life, and in all probability belong to a later period of the history of Judah. At any rate, the appreciation of the next chapter will be facilitated by reading it in close connection with Jeremiah 15:9 of the present chapter. But the section before us is too impressive to be east adrift without an attempt... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:19

If thou return , etc. Most commentators regard these words as containing a gentle rebuke to Jeremiah for his doubts respecting God's care of him. It may be questioned, however, whether such passing doubts could be described as a turning away from Jehovah. If the word "return" is to be interpreted in a spiritual sense, we must surely conclude that the people is addressed (comp. Jeremiah 3:12 ; Jeremiah 4:1 ). But this does not agree with the context. Hence Gratz's view seems very... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:19

A wide recognition of the good without compromise with the evil. Jeremiah is bidden to return from his solitude to his mission among his people when he will owned and encouraged by God if he will see the goodness that still lingers among them- and yet not enter into any unrighteous compromise with the wicked ways of the multitude of them. I. WE SHOULD EXERCISE A WIDE RECOGNITION OF THE GOOD IN ALL THINGS —take out the precious from the vile. The gold-washer may... read more
