耶利米书 50:6-7 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-8

I. Here is a word spoken against Babylon by him whose works all agree with his word and none of whose words fall to the ground. The king of Babylon had been very kind of Jeremiah, and yet he must foretel the ruin of that kingdom; for God's prophets must not be governed by favour or affection. Whoever are our friends, if, notwithstanding, they are God's enemies, we dare not speak peace to them. 1. The destruction of Babylon is here spoken of as a thing done, Jer. 50:2. let it be published to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:6

My people hath been lost sheep ,.... like lost sheep, without a shepherd, going astray the fold, wandering from place to place, having none to take care of them, guide and direct them, or to go in and out before them, and lead them into suitable pastures; so it was with the Jews in the Babylonish captivity, and so it is with them now, and yet the Lord's people still in some sense; he has a design of grace concerning them, a store of mercy for them, and thoughts of peace towards them, which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:7

All that found them have devoured them ,.... As lost and wandering sheep are liable to be found, and to be devoured, by every beast of prey, lions, wolves, and bears; so the Jews were found by their neighbours, their enemies, and especially by the Chaldeans, having forsaken God, and being forsaken by him; and which is their case now, and are often found and seized upon by their enemies, and made a prey of under one pretence or another: and their adversaries said, we offend not ; we are... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:6

Verse 6 THE, Prophet in the sixth verse compares God’s people to lost sheep: he therefore says, that the Jews wandered on the mountains and went from mountain to hill He throws the blame on the shepherds, by whom the miserable people had been led astray. Notwithstanding, God does not extenuate the fault of the people; nor did he accuse the pastors as though their wickedness and perfidy absolved the people; but on the contrary, he commends the greatness of his own grace, that he had mercy on a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:7

Verse 7 Jeremiah goes on with the same subject; for he tells us how miserable was the condition of the people until God looked on them to relieve them from their evils. And this comparison, as I have before said, more fully sets forth the favor of God, because he raised up his people as it were from hell at a time when they were reduced to despair. He says first, All who found them devoured them; that is, all who came in contact with them thought them a prey. He, in short, means that they were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1-46 . AND 51. ON BABYLON . This attitude of reserve is not assumed without substantial grounds, derived from two sources—the epilogue ( Jeremiah 51:59-64 ) and the prophecy itself. First, as to the epilogue. It is clear that the words, "and they shall be weary," are out of place in Jeremiah 51:64 , and that they are wrongly repeated from Jeremiah 51:58 . But how came they to be repeated? Because, originally, the declaration, "Thus far are the words of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:6

Lost sheep. Not merely with reference to the scattering of the Captivity (as in Isaiah 27:13 , where the Authorized Version has "ready to perish"), but to the transgressions of the Law of God, of which the Jews had been constantly guilty (comp. Psalms 119:176 ; Isaiah 53:6 ). Their shepherds … mountains. This is the marginal correction in the Hebrew Bible; the text has, "Their shepherds have caused them to go astray upon the seducing mountains"—a strange expression, which is,... read more
