Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 29:1-32

Letters to the captives in Babylon (29:1-32)In 597 BC several thousand of Jerusalem’s most capable people were taken captive to Babylon. Among them were some false prophets who began to predict, as Hananiah had done, that Babylon was about to fall and that the Judean captives were about to return to Jerusalem. Jeremiah, on hearing of this, wrote a letter to the community of captives (29:1-3).The advice Jeremiah gives to the exiles is that they settle down to a more or less permanent way of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 29:22

Jeremiah 29:22. Roasted in the fire— This horrid punishment was frequent in the East, especially among the Chaldeans, as appears from Dan 3:6 and Amo 2:1 and was often practised in the persecution of the Christians in Dioclesian's time. Under Antiochus Epiphanes, the seven brethren were tried by this torture. See 2 Maccabees 7 : read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 29:22-23

Their deaths would become a proverbial curse (Heb. qelalah) for the exiles who wanted to wish the worst type of fate on someone. They would wish that Yahweh would make the end of their enemies as terrible as that of those two false prophets. The Hammurabi Code refers to burning people alive (Heb. qalah) as a Babylonian method of execution, as does the Book of Daniel. [Note: Pritchard, ed., pp. 167, 170, 172. Daniel 3:6.] These false prophets had acted like fools, had committed adultery in... read more

1-14. Jeremiah’s letter to the exiles. Release after seventy years.1. Prophets] The exiles in Babylon had also false prophets, e.g. Ahab and Zedekiah (Jeremiah 29:21), and Shemaiah (of Jeremiah 29:24) among them. But they were on the whole of a better class (see Jeremiah 24:5-7), and the prophet might hope that his words would have more effect. 2. Carpenters] RV ’craftsmen.’4-7. They are not to sit loose to the land of their exile, but to make homes for themselves there. Else they will soon... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 29:21-22

(21, 22) Ahab the son of Kolaiah . . .—We know nothing, beyond what is here recorded, of either of these prophets. They would seem to have been the leaders of the party of revolt, and to have been conspicuous, like their brethren at Jerusalem (Jeremiah 23:14), for base and profligate lives. The record of the prediction of their fate implies its fulfilment. They were punished by the Chaldæan king as traitors and rebels, and were burnt alive. The history of the “three children” in Daniel 3:6;... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 29:22

(22) Of them shall be taken up a curse . . .—We note the characteristic tendency of Hebrew thought to fix on individual cases of highest blessedness, as in Ruth 4:11, or of deepest shame, as here, and to bring them into formulae of blessing and of cursing. read more

CHAPTER XCORRESPONDENCE WITH THE EXILESJeremiah 29:1-32"Jehovah make thee like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire."- Jeremiah 29:22NOTHING further is said about the proposed revolt, so that Jeremiah’s vigorous protest seems to have been successful. In any case, unless irrevocable steps had been taken, the enterprise could hardly have survived the death of its advocate, Hananiah. Accordingly Zedekiah sent an embassy to Babylon, charged doubtless with plausible... read more
