The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:26-28
The danger of corrupting true religion. God has from the beginning been solicitous for the purity of his revelation and worship. He would never suffer his ordinances to be tampered with, or share his honour with other gods. "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve" ( Deuteronomy 6:13 ; Luke 4:8 ). I. IT HAS BEEN GUARDED BY AWFUL SANCTIONS . Frequently in Old Testament history the death penalty was inflicted upon spiritual pretenders, false... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:27
Watching over men for evil. I. THIS WATCHING IS NEVER IRRESPECTIVE OF CONDUCT . If God ever watches over any man for evil it is because the man's conduct deserves it. It is not so necessarily with our watching. We may watch over a man for evil either from intensity of malice or intensity of selfishness. We may wish to do him ill from revenge or because his prosperity seems to mean our adversity. A word announcing watch over men for evil is a very serious word to fall even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:28
The remnant of the remnant. Of the Jews who escaped the sword of Nebuchadnezzar in the invasion of their land, "a remnant "fled to Egypt; of this body of refugees "a remnant" was to survive the dangers that would destroy the greater part. Thus but a small number would return to Jerusalem in safety. For their folly in fleeing to Egypt the fugitives would suffer a second desolation, while the captives in Babylon and the patient poor people who remained in the land of their fathers would be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:28
Human and Divine confidence. I. IN WHAT THEY ARE ALIKE . 1 . In the assurance with which they are expressed. Here are men, in their worldly wisdom, perfectly certain that the course they have adopted will turn out right. It is always important to notice the assured unquestioning spirit in which men will set out on their enterprises. They do not seem to see the failures, disgraces, and humiliations of others; such overwhelming troubles are not to come nigh them. And all this... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 44:24-30
Earnest as was the preceding expostulation, Jeremiah sees that it has produced no effect. He therefore utters his last warning, and with this last resistance to the sins of a debased and godless people, his earthly ministry closed.Jeremiah 44:25And fulfilled with your hand - Your hands. Jeremiah pointed to their hands, in which they were carrying the crescent-shaped cakes which they had vowed to the goddess. Their idolatry therefore was an accomplished deed, as the symbols held in their hands... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30
The end of Jeremiah; or, going down in clouds. With this chapter Jeremiah disappears from view. The sadness which surrounded his first ministry accompanies it to the last and deepens at its close; like a sunset in clouds, going down in darkness and storm, The path along which he had been led had been via crucis, a via dolorosa indeed; a lifelong tragedy, an unceasing pain. We can only hope that death came soon to him after his recorded history closes. We have seen him torn from his... read more
