Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

26:1-34:22 PROPHECIES OF EXILE AND RETURNThe dangerous life of a prophet (26:1-24)Again Jeremiah went to the temple, where he could preach to people who came from all over Judah to worship. He stood in the open court and urged the worshippers to give up their sinful ways and return to God (26:1-3). If they refused, the temple would be demolished, as the tabernacle had been at Shiloh several centuries earlier (4-6; see notes on 7:1-15; cf. also 19:14-20:6).Religious officials and ordinary... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 26:15

Jeremiah 26:15. But know ye for certain— This is Jeremiah's justification of himself. He reduces all to the proof that God had sent him; and his adversaries were able to make no reply. "If God hath sent me, you can have nothing to say against me." It is upon this that he is declared innocent, Jeremiah 26:16. This man is not worthy to die. See Calmet. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 26:15

(15) But know ye for certain.—Literally, with the Hebrew emphasis of reduplication, Knowing, know ye. The appeal is addressed, it will be remembered, to the lay judges, the princes, and the people, not to the priests and prophets who accused him. He believes that they at least would shrink from shedding innocent blood. And he solemnly protests that he is innocent of any wilful attack upon what his countrymen revered. He has spoken, but it has been by a constraint above his own will. A... read more

It was, therefore, earlier than B.C. 605, the point reached in... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

MESSAGES IN JEHOIAKIM ’S REIGN Having just considered discourses in Zedekiah’s reign, and now returning to that of Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 25:1 ), it can be seen that the chapters are not arranged chronologically. The first message is that of the seventy years captivity. We are familiar with that period as Judah’s forced stay in Babylon, and it is interesting to see the place where it was definitely predicted (Jeremiah 25:11-12 ). Note what leads up to the prediction, God’s patience and... read more
