Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:18

Let them be confounded - They shall be confounded. These words are to be understood as simple predictions, rather than prayers. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:14

Verse 14 Here the Prophet, as though terrified, hides himself under the wings of God, for he saw that apostasy and every kind of wickedness prevailed everywhere throughout the land; he saw that the principal men of his nation were wicked despisers of God, and that they vainly boasted of their own descent, while yet destitute of all care for justice and uprightness. When therefore he saw that the land was thus infected, in order that fainting might not overcome him, he presents himself to God,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:15

Verse 15 Here Jeremiah complains of the obstinate contempt of the people; he found them not only uncourteous but even petulant towards God, so that they hesitated not to discredit all prophecies, to despise the promises, and boldly to reject all threatenings. The Prophet had often threatened them; and when God delayed the time, they made a wrong use of his forbearance, as it is commonly the case with the reprobate. Nor did they deem it enough even to add sins to sins, but they openly and... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:16

Verse 16 The Prophet here implores God as his defender, having found his own nation so refractory, that they could in no way be brought to a right mind. There is yet no doubt but he intended to double their fear in thus testifying that he brought nothing of his own, but faithfully executed the command of God, that he did not presumptuously undertake the office of a teacher, but obeyed the call of God, as though he had said, that they (as we shall find in another place) did not resist a mortal... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:17

Verse 17 Now the Prophet, having appealed to God as a witness to his integrity, prays him to show himself as his patron and defender. Thus he again implores God’s aid, Be not thou, he says, a terror to me, that is, “Suffer me not while pleading thy cause to be terrified.” Thy the word, terror, he means such a dread as stupifies all the feelings. It would have indeed been wholly unreasonable for the Prophets to fail in constancy and firmness, for it belonged to God to rule them by his Spirit,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:18

Verse 18 The Prophet, as we have seen, had a hard contest, not only with one man or with a few, but with the whole people, and then it is probable that there were many sects, for when he cried against the avaricious, there was a commotion instantly made by all those who lived on plunder, when he spoke against the indulgence of lust, there was a second conspiracy against him; when he condemned drunkenness and intemperance, there was a new combination formed to oppose him. We hence see how all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:12-14

The Hope of Israel. I. THE REVELATION OF THE HOPE OF ISRAEL . 1. God is revealed as the Hope of his people; i.e. as the source 2. God is thus revealed in connection with the sanctuary , 3. Experience confirms this revelation of God. The glorious character of God has been true of him "from the beginning." The antiquity of the temple was the proof of this to the Jew, the history of Christendom should be more so to the Christian. II. THE FOLLY OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:14

He whom God heals is really healed. I. THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF INDIVIDUAL NEED . The prayer is "heal me;" "deliver me." The prophet shows how deep and pressing is his own need by the use of two figures. He feels the need of something being done internally and externally. Internally he is sick at heart, wounded and bruised in spirit. He needs healing from the state of mind produced through being despised and rejected by his fellow-countrymen. Still worse is the gnawing pain... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:14-18

A prayer of the prophet in this his hour of need. He who makes his boast of Jehovah may reckon upon his help. This is Jeremiah's principle. He prays for healing, Heal me … and I shall be —rather, that I may be — healed . He is one of those "broken in heart," whom Jehovah alone can "heal" ( Psalms 147:3 ). read more
