The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 16:19-21

The confession of the idolatrous Gentiles. I. THE PROPHET 'S DESCRIPTION OF JEHOVAH . God, he says, is his Strength, his Fortress, and his Refuge. 1. The way in which the deserter individualizes himself . To the prophet individually Jehovah has a satisfactory relation.

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. Firstly, he is not to marry or have children, as a grim warning to people that those with families will have greater distress when the final slaughter comes (16:1-4). Secondly, he is not to attend any funeral, as a warning that when Judah falls there will be... read more

THE FUTURE CONVERSION OF THE GENTILES"O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited naught but lies, even vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

Jeremiah 16:19. O Lord, my strength, and my fortress— To demonstrate more emphatically the absurdity of idolatry, the prophet here foretels, that the time will come when the Gentiles themselves shall be ashamed of their idols, and address themselves to the true God in all their wants, as their only rock, their refuge, and defence; acknowledging the errors of their fathers, and that their former confidence was only vanity and lies.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 16:19

Jeremiah composed a song to the Lord. He addressed Him as his "strength," his "stronghold," and his "refuge" in a time (the day) of distress (cf. Psalms 18:2). He foretold that the nations would come to the Lord from the ends of the earth, confessing the futility of their lives and the lives of their forefathers (cf. Jeremiah 4:2; Genesis 12:1-3; Psalms 2; Isaiah 2:1-3; Isaiah 42:4; Isaiah 49:6; Zechariah 8:20-23; Zechariah 14:16-17). read more
