エレミヤ書 17:25 JCB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 17:19-27

This prophecy on the observance of the Sabbath, is the first of a series of short predictions. arranged probably in chronological order among themselves, but in other respects independent of one another. Its tone is mild, and dissuasive rather of future neglect than condemnatory of past misconduct; and it may be assigned to the commencement of Jehoiakim’s reign. Its similarity to the prophecy contained in Jeremiah 22:1-5 makes it probable that they were contemporaneous.Jeremiah 17:19The gate of... read more

Jeremiah 17:25-27. Then shall there enter into the gates of this city, &c. “From hence it appears,” says Lowth, “that the judgments denounced against Jerusalem, at least as far as they threatened the city with utter destruction, were not irreversible. And from Jeremiah’s advice to Zedekiah, Jeremiah 38:17, it may be concluded, that if the king had hearkened to that counsel, the city would not have been destroyed, and he himself might have continued a tributary king under Nebuchadnezzar.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 17:14-27

Forthright messages (17:14-27)Jeremiah is still distressed and once more appeals to God for help. His complaint is that the people mock him when they do not see his prophecies come true (14-15). He reminds God that he has done no more than announce the message God has given him. He personally does not wish doom upon the nation. Therefore, he asks God to be his protector against his persecutors (16-18).One of God’s commands to Jeremiah was that he go around the various city gates and warn the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 17:24-25

The Lord promised that if the people of Jeremiah’s day obeyed, He would give them more Davidic kings and officials, who would inhabit Jerusalem and be strong leaders of the people. The city would then enjoy inhabitants forever, rather than experiencing total abandonment by the Lord (cf. Isaiah 58:1-14; Zechariah 2:2-12; Zechariah 8:3; Zechariah 8:15; Zechariah 14:11). Security depended on obedience, and repentance was still possible when Jeremiah delivered this message. read more
