Jeremiah 16:13. There shall ye serve other gods day and night The opportunities of frequenting the public worship of the true God shall be taken from you, as a just judgment upon you for your neglect of his service in your own country; and you shall be exposed to the peril of being seduced by the Chaldeans to the worship of idols: see Deuteronomy 4:28; Deuteronomy 28:36, where Moses utters a similar prediction.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:1-21

Symbolic actions (16:1-21)Again God instructs his prophet concerning certain courses of action designed to attract the people’s attention. Jeremiah is to be a living reminder to the Judeans of what will happen to them if they do not repent.

Secondly, he is not to attend any funeral, as a warning that when Judah falls there will be... read more

13. serve other gods—That which was their sin in their own land was their punishment in exile. Retribution in kind. They voluntarily forsook God for idols at home; they were not allowed to serve God, if they wished it, in captivity (Daniel 3:12; Daniel 6:7). day and night—irony. You may there serve idols, which ye are so mad after, even to satiety, and without intermission. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 16:1-13

The special conditions of Jeremiah’s life 16:1-13Sometimes God used the events in the lives of His prophets to speak to the people, in addition to their messages."Hosea’s unhappy marriage (Hosea 1-3), Isaiah’s family (Isaiah 7-8), the death of Ezekiel’s wife (Ezekiel 24:15-27), and Jeremiah’s call to remain unmarried are all examples of the proclamation of the word through family events."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 16:13

Therefore the Lord would hurl (Heb. tul) them out of the land and into a land that they and their forefathers had not known before. There they would have their fill of idolatry, and the Lord would show them no mercy.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 16:13

(13) There shall ye serve other gods day and night.—The words are spoken in the bitterness of irony: “You have chosen to serve the gods of other nations here in your own land; therefore, by a righteous retribution, you shall serve them in another sense, as being in bondage to their worshippers, and neither night nor day shall give you respite.”Where I will not shew you favour.—Better, since, or for, I will not shew you favour. read more
