エレミヤ書 46:1-12 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:9

Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots ,.... These are either the words of Pharaoh, giving orders to his cavalry and charioteers to make haste and come up to battle, not doubting of victory: or rather of the Lord by the prophet, ironically calling upon the horsemen in the Egyptian army to come on and engage with the enemy, and behave gallantly; and those in the chariots to drive, Jehu like, 2 Kings 9:20 , with great swiftness, force, and fury, to make their chariots rattle again, and... read more

For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts ,.... Or, "but this is the day" F25 היום ההוא "dies autem", V. L. "atque dies", Junius & Tremellius; "sed dies ille", Schmidt. , &c.; notwithstanding this great apparatus for war, and those many auxiliaries the Egyptians would have, yet it would not be their day, in which they should get the better of their enemies; but the Lord's day; the day he had appointed; who is the Lord God of all armies, above and below; and who would... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:11

Go up into Gilead ,.... Still the irony or sarcasm is continued Gilead was a place in the land of Israel famous for balm or balsam, used in curing wounds; see Jeremiah 8:22 ; hence it follows: and take balm, O virgin, daughter of Egypt ; the kingdom of Egypt, as the Targum; so called because of its glory and excellency; and because as yet it had not been conquered and brought under the power of another: now the inhabitants of it are bid to take balm or balsam, as Kimchi and Ben Melech;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:1

The word of the Lord - against the Gentiles - This is a general title to the following collection of prophecies, written concerning different nations, which had less or more connection with the Jews, either as enemies, neighbors, or allies. They were not written at the same time; and though some of them bear dates, yet it would be difficult to give them any chronological arrangement.
