Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 22:3-5

Jeremiah 22:3-5. Thus saith the Lord, Execute ye judgment, &c. That is, administer justice to all your subjects. The stranger, the fatherless, and the widow are particularly named, as persons who have the fewest friends, and therefore are the most exposed to the tyranny, injustice, and oppression of the great. And do no wrong, do no violence, &c. Compare Jeremiah 22:17, where we find Jehoiakim charged with these sins. For if ye do this thing indeed If ye will, not in... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-9

A king’s responsibility (21:11-22:9)As he has no doubt done many times, Jeremiah tells the leaders of Judah that they must correct the widespread social injustice that has corrupted their nation. If they do not, God will destroy the nation in judgment (11-12). They are deceiving themselves if they think that God will not allow anyone to attack Jerusalem. They are going to be disappointed if they think that the city’s fortified position guarantees its safety (13-14).The king has a duty to... read more

1-9. Call to amendment of life.1. Go down] The king’s house was on lower ground than the Temple: cp. Jeremiah 36:12. 3. The reference is to the special crimes of Jehoiakim more fully stated in Jeremiah 36:13: cp. 2 Kings 23:35.

Jeremiah 17:25. 6. Gilead, with its balm (Jeremiah 8:22) and its flocks... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 22:5

(5) I swear by myself.—The formula is an exceptionally rare one, but meets us in Genesis 22:16. In Deuteronomy 32:40 the came thought is embodied in the language of the loftiest poetry. The principle in both cases is that on which the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews dwells in Jeremiah 6:13. Men swear by the greater, but God can swear by nothing greater than Himself.This house.—The context determines the application of the word as meaning the king’s palace, not the Temple. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 22:1-30

The Woes of the Unjust Jeremiah 22:13 The whole law is contained in these words, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbour as thyself'. These two parts cannot be separated. God places us among our own kind, and our character cannot be formed and our souls saved without doing justly and loving mercy, while we walk humbly with our God. If we are servants, we are to do honest work for our masters; and if we are masters, we are to give equitable wages to our servants.... read more
