エレミヤ書 26:10 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 26:7-15

One would have hoped that such a sermon as that in the Jer. 26:1-6, so plain and practical, so rational and pathetic, and delivered in God's name, would work upon even this people, especially meeting them now at their devotions, and would prevail with them to repent and reform; but, instead of awakening their convictions, it did but exasperate their corruptions, as appears by this account of the effect of it. I. Jeremiah is charged with it as a crime that he had preached such a sermon, and is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:10

When the princes of Judah heard these things ,.... The tumult there was in the temple; these were the princes of the blood, or the nobles of the realm, particularly the courtiers, and who were of the king's privy council; or else the great sanhedrim, consisting of seventy persons, and were the chief court of judicature: then they came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord ; from the royal palace where they resided; by which it should seem that they were the king's courtiers,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 26:10

Verse 10 We have said that the princes were roused by a popular clamor; nor is there a doubt but; that the king had sent them to quell the commotion. It must be especially noticed, that they were engaged in other matters, as it was seldom the case that courtiers spent their time in hearing the prophets. It is indeed true, that the occupations of those are sacred, who have the care of the commonwealth, who dispense justice, and who have to provide for the public safety; but it behoves them so to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

The prophet of God arraigned by the nation. Jeremiah's position, as that of all prophets, was necessarily a public one; to every man is he sent with the message. It is inadmissible for him to soften or lessen what he has to speak, which is nothing else than an indictment of the entire people (verses 4-6). In default of their repentance his arraignment by them is, therefore, all but inevitable. Indifference could not well be feigned; words like his were certain to produce an effect. I. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:7-11

To all devout Jews this prediction of the destruction of the temple must have been startling; but to those who placed their confidence in the mere exist-once of a consecrated building ( Jeremiah 7:4 ), it was like a blow aimed at their very life. Besides, were not the majority of the prophets of Jehovah of entirely another way of thinking? Did they not promise peace? And what could justify Jeremiah in announcing not merely war, but the downfall of the Divine habitation itself? Hence no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:8-19

A scene in a Jewish court of law. We have here a graphic picture of the procedure under the Hebrew criminal law, for it would appear that Jeremiah was indicted and tried in accordance with correct legal order. The details of such a trial are not unimportant to the student of constitutional history. But they are also full of human interest. The law-court is a strange mirror of character. Many as are the objections to the publication of police news in the daily papers, it does at least serve... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:10

The princes . The term will include the members of the various branches of the royal family, who acted as judges (see on Jeremiah 21:12 ), and the "elders," or heads of families (see Jeremiah 26:17 ). Without the presence of the former, Jeremiah could only have had a mock-trial. Came up , etc. (see on Jeremiah 22:1 ). Of the Lord's house ; better simply, of the Lord . The gate is the same which is referred at Jeremiah 20:2 . read more

The princes of Judah - The priests could scourge a man etc., but could not then try him for his life, as the Sanhedrim subsequently did until the Romans deprived them of the power.The new gate - That built by Jotham 2 Kings 15:35, and probably a usual place for trials. read more
