エレミヤ書 6:11-12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:11

Therefore I am full ; rather, But I am full . I will pour it out . The text has "pour it out." The sudden transition to the imperative is certainly harsh, and excuses the conjectural emendation which underlies the rendering of the Authorized Version. If we retain the imperative, we must explain it with reference to Jeremiah's inner experience. There are, we must remember, two selves in the prophet (comp. Isaiah 21:6 ), and the higher prophetic self here addresses the lower or human... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 6:11

Or, But I am filled with “the fury of Yahweh: I am weary with holding” it “in.” Pour it out “upon the children” in the street, and upon the company of youths “together;” for both man and “wife shall be taken;” the older and he whose days are full.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 6:1-30

Click image for full-size versionDestruction of Jerusalem and Judah (6:1-30)Jeremiah warns that the enemy forces will invade from the north. The citizens of Jerusalem should therefore flee from the city to the hilly regions south of Jerusalem, where they may be able to find refuge from the invaders (6:1-2). As shepherds lead their sheep to feed in new pastures, so will the enemy commanders lead their forces to ‘devour’ Jerusalem. They will attack by day and by night (3-5). In building their... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 6:11

Jeremiah 6:11. Therefore, &c.— Houbigant is of opinion, that these words cannot with any propriety be applied to the prophet; but that they are a continuation of the discourse from Jeremiah 6:9. Accordingly he renders them, Therefore, I will fulfil my fury, I am weary with bearing these things, I will pour out my anger, &c. read more
