耶利米书 18:12 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 18:11-17

These verses seem to be the application of the general truths laid down in the foregoing part of the chapter to the nation of the Jews and their present state. I. God was now speaking concerning them to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy; for it is that part of the rule of judgment that their case agrees with (Jer. 18:11): ?Go, and tell them? (saith God), ?Behold I frame evil against you and devise against you. Providence in all its operations is plainly working towards your ruin. Look... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 18:12

And they said, there is no hope ,.... Or, "but they said" F23 ואמרו "sed dixerunt", Schmidt; "sed dicunt", Piscator. ; not that there was no hope of the grace and mercy of God, upon their repentance and reformation, for that is before declared; but that they were so hardened in their sins, so fixed in their wicked courses, and so determined to go on in them, that there was no room for the prophet to hope of ever reclaiming them; signifying, that it was to little purpose to talk to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 18:12

Verse 12 The Prophet, having related that he had denounced on the Jews the vengeance of God, adds now, how proudly they despised his threatenings. And their sin was on this account enhanced, because a hope of pardon remained for them, provided they returned to God. But the Prophet says, that they expressly refused to do so. They said, נואש nuash, which we render, “It is all over,” though interpreters in general render it, “It is past hope.” We have spoken of this word in chapter second, and the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:8-12

A never-to-be-forgotten principle of interpretation. These verses plainly teach that all God's threatenings, even the most terrible, and all God's promises, even the most blessed, are conditional on the continuance of the moral character to which they were addressed . Now, this is— I. A CORDIAL AGAINST DESPAIR . When the convicted sinner—as the men of Nineveh—hear the awful denunciations of God's judgment, all hope seems to be forbidden. The Ninevites, to encourage themselves... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:11-12

The fatalism of the wicked. The conception of God's judicial omnipotence furnished in the parable of the potter is misinterpreted by the wicked. It is made a reason for continuing in their sin, they arguing that it is their fate, or needs be, to follow in the path they have chosen. I. IN THIS WE HAVE AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE SOWER OF EVIL HABIT . Sin has acquired such influence over the nature that it becomes its ruler. A recklessness born of desperation takes the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:12

And they said ; rather, But they go on saying (comp. Ezekiel 33:17 , Ezekiel 33:20 ). There is no hope. The rendering may be easily misunderstood. The speakers are not, as we might suppose, despondent about their state and prospects, but they seek to check the troublesome preacher by the warning that he has no chance of success (so Jeremiah 2:25 ). Imagination ; rather, stubbornness (as constantly). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:12

Rejectedly preaching. I. THE BEST PREACHING MAY BE REJECTED . Jeremiah was a true messenger of God and an able preacher, yet he was unpopular. Christ, who " spoke as never man spake," was "despised and rejected of men." No greater mistake can be made than to judge of the value of any preaching by the popularity of it. II. IT IS THE DUTY OF THE FAITHFUL PREACHER TO BEAR HIS TESTIMONY EVEN IF IT BE REJECTED . He must not be unfaithful to... read more

Despair, its causes, consequences, and cure. "And they said, There is no hope," etc. There is a show of humility about this word. The man has evidently no hope in himself, nor in any Church, nor in any. human help whatsoever. Now, this so far so good. To get men away from trusting m an arm of flesh is ever one of God's purposes. And when a man is thus weaned from self and all human reliance it is a good sign. But such distrust at times goes beyond this, to belief that there is no hope... read more
