エレミヤ書 15:1-9 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1

Though Moses and Samuel - Moses had often supplicated for the people; and in consequence they were spared. See Exodus 32:11 ; and following verses, Numbers 14:13 . Samuel also had prayed for the people, and God heard him, 1 Samuel 7:9 ; but if these or the most holy men were now to supplicate for this people, he would not spare them. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth - Do not bring them into my presence by your prayers; let them go forth into captivity. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:2

Whither shall we go forth? - Such as are for death, to death - Some shall be destroyed by the pestilence, here termed death. See Jeremiah 18:21 . Others shall be slain by the sword in battle, and in the sackage of cities. Others shall perish by famine, shall be starved to death through the mere want of the necessaries of life; and the rest shall go into captivity. There shall be different sorts of punishments inflicted on them according to the nature of their transgressions. Some shall be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:3

I will appoint over them four kinds - There shall appear four instruments of my justice. The sword to slay. The dogs to tear what is slain. The fowls of the heaven to feed on the dead carcasses. And, 4. The wild beasts to destroy all that the fowls have left. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:4

I will cause them to be removed into an kingdoms of the earth - This seems to have respect to the succeeding state of the Jews in their different generations; and never was there a prophecy more literally fulfilled; and it is still a standing monument of Divine truth. Let infidelity cast its eyes on the scattered Jews whom it may meet with in every civilized nation of the world; and then let it deny the truth of this prophecy, if it can. The Jews are scattered through every nation, and yet... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:5

Who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? - Perhaps there is not a more despised nor a more degraded people under the sun. Scarcely any one thinks himself called upon to do a kind office for a Jew. Their character is bad in society, and they are not at all solicitous to redeem it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:6

I am weary with repenting - With repeatedly changing my purpose. I have often, after purposing to punish, showed them mercy. I will do it no longer; it is useless. I took them often at their promise, and in every instance they have failed. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:7

I will fan them with a fan - There is no pure grain; all is chaff. In the gates of the land - The places of public justice: and there it shall be seen that the judgments that have fallen upon them have been highly merited. And from these places of fanning they shall go out into their captivity. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1

Verse 1 God again repeats what we have before observed, — that as the impieties and sins of the people had arrived at the highest pitch, there was no more room for pardon or for mercy: and though God seems to have rejected altogether the prayer of his servant, we are not yet to think that it was without any benefit. Jeremiah wished indeed to deliver the whole people from destruction; but he did not thus pray inconsiderately and uselessly; for he distinguished between the titular church, as they... read more
