Jeremiah’s Fifteenth Prophecy (Early in the Reign of Jehoiakim)For Jeremiah 26:1-8 see intro. to Jeremiah 7-10. This chapter gives us a sketch of the difficulties and dangers under which Jeremiah had spoken the preceding prophecies.1-6. The prophet warns the people.6. Like Shiloh] see on Jeremiah 7:12. A curse] i.e. a subject of their cursing, as being contemptible.8. A prophet speaking without God’s command was to be put to death (Deuteronomy 18:20).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 26:4-5

(4, 5) To walk in my law, which I have set before you.—The words present more vividly than in the parallels of Jeremiah 7:25; Jeremiah 25:4 the relation of the Law as the groundwork of the teaching of the Prophets, their office being that of preachers and expounders, making men feel that the commandment was “exceeding broad.” The “Law and the Prophets” are already coupled together, as in Matthew 5:17; Matthew 22:40, as making up God’s revelation of His will to Israel. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

CHAPTER IIA TRIAL FOR HERESYJeremiah 26:1-24; cf. Jeremiah 7:1-34; Jeremiah 8:1-22; Jeremiah 9:1-26; Jeremiah 10:1-25"When Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak unto all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die."- Jeremiah 26:8THE date of this incident is given, somewhat vaguely, as the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim. It was, therefore, earlier than B.C. 605, the point reached in... read more

CHAPTER 26 Threatened with Death and His Deliverance 1. The temple like Shiloh, and Jerusalem to be a curse (Jeremiah 26:1-7 ) 2. Threatened with death (Jeremiah 26:8-11 ) 3.

James Gray

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-7

It is impossible to read the continued perseverance of the mournful Prophet, and to hear the sad subject of the peoples neglect of his preaching, but with much exercise and pain of the mind. Reader! is not the same part acted over again, against faithful ministers of the Lord, in the present hour? Are there not thousands who reject the counsel of God against their own souls, and both neglect and despise the Preacher, and his word, as much as those of old? What can be an higher proof of the fall... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 26:1-6

1-6 God's ambassadors must not seek to please men, or to save themselves from harm. See how God waits to be gracious. If they persisted in disobedience, it would ruin their city and temple. Can any thing else be expected? Those who will not be subject to the commands of God, make themselves subject to the curse of God. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 26:1-11

The First Prophecy and its Effect v. 1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, about 609 B. C. came this word from the Lord, saying, v. 2. Thus saith the Lord, Stand in the court of the Lord's house, the large outer court, where the people assembled for worship, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, the believers who still were found in the nation and those who made a pretense at serving the Lord, which come to worship in the Lord's house, all the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 26:1-24

B. The Three Historical AppendicesThe Prophet Of The Lord And The False ProphetsJeremiah 26-29It has been already shown in the introduction to the ninth discourse that these chapters stand here together, because their common topic is the conflict of the true prophet with the false prophets. Their position just here, however, is occasioned by the close historical connection of chh. 27, 28, with Jeremiah 25:0. There is thus a double connection, (1) that of chh. 27, 28, with Jeremiah 25:0 (Cup of... read more
