Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 5:10-19

We may observe in these verses, as before, I. The sin of this people, upon which the commission signed against them is grounded. God disowns them and dooms them to destruction, Jer. 5:10. But is there not a cause? Yes; for, 1. They have deserted the law of God (Jer. 5:11): The house of Israel and the house of Judah, though at variance with one another, yet both agreed to deal very treacherously against God. They forsook the worship of him, and therein violated their covenants with him; they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 5:11

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me ,.... This is a reason why such orders are given to the army of the Chaldeans to ascend the walls of Jerusalem and destroy them; namely, the perfidy both of the ten tribes, signified by the house of Israel; so Abarbinel; and of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, signified by the house of Judah; which was very great, and attended with aggravated circumstances; instances of it follow. The Targum is, ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 5:12

They have belied the Lord, and said, it is not he ,.... Or, "denied the Lord" F24 וכחשו ביהוה "egaverunt Dominum", V. L. Pagninus; "abnegant", Piscator; "abnegarunt Jehovam", Cocceius, Schmidt. , as some render the words, saying that there was no God; which, though they might not deliver in express words, yet inasmuch as they denied his providence, and disbelieved his word by his prophets, it was tacitly denying that there was a God, or that the Lord was God. The meaning of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 5:13

And the prophets shall become wind ,.... Their prophecies shall vanish into air; they shall become of no effect; they shall never be accomplished: and the word is not in them ; not the word of the Lord; he never spoke by them; they speak of themselves; they never were inspired or commissioned by him to say what they do: thus shall it be done unto them; the same evils they say shall befall us shall come upon them; they shall perish by the sword or famine; we have reason to believe that... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:12

They have belied the Lord - כחשו kichashu . They have denied or disavowed the Lord. It is not he - הוא לוא lo hu , he is not; there is no such being; therefore this evil shall not come upon us. On their premises, this conclusion was just. There is no judge; therefore there shall be no judgment. Thus they denied the Lord. They were atheists at heart. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:13

And the prophets shall become wind - What are the prophets? Empty persons. Their words are wind; we hear the sound of their threatening but of the matter of the threatenings we shall hear no more. And the word is not in them - There is no inspirer, but may their own predictions fall on their own heads! This seems the natural sense of this passage. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:11

Verse 11 The verb בגד, begad, means to deceive, to act perfidiously. God then charges the Jews here with perfidy, because they had revolted from him: for he does not only complain that they had in some measure sinned against him, and that he was therefore offended with them, but he charges them with general defection. Hence he says, that both the Israelites and the Jews had become perfidious and apostates. The people, we knew, were now divided into two kingdoms: and though Jeremiah had been... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:12

Verse 12 He expresses more clearly and fully what he had previously said. Their perfidy was, that they had denied God I do not wholly reject what others have said, that they lied to God: but as ב is here used after כחש, I cannot see that it means to lie. It ought to have been in that case, כחשו, ליהוה cacheshu La-Jeve: but as it is ביהוה, Be-Jeve, I doubt not but that he simply declares that they denied God; and the context seems to require this meaning; for he immediately adds, that they said... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:13

Verse 13 The Prophet goes on with the same subject; and this passage is worthy of especial notice, as it commends to us in no common way the public preaching of the truth. For what can be imagined more abominable than to deny God? yet if his word is not allowed to have authority, it is the same as though its despisers attempted to thrust God from heaven, or denied his existence. We hence see how the majesty of God is, as it were, indissolubly connected with the public preaching of his truth.... read more
