Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 8:1-3
Astral worship 8:1-3"The sermon ends (if these verses, still in prose, should be taken with ch. 7) on a note which takes away the last shreds of comfort for those whose hopes or memories are bound up with Jerusalem." [Note: Kidner, p. 51.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 8:2
The enemy soldiers would expose these bones to the sun, moon, and stars, which the Judahites had loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshipped.". . . as if in fulfillment of the desires of the dead, their bones are laid out upon the earth, exposed to the very astral ’powers’ whom once the dead had worshiped. And in the humiliation of the dead, their former heavenly masters were uncaring, complacently shining in the heavens, unconcerned about human fate on the face of the earth. Although in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 8:2
(2) Whom they have loved . . .—Here, again, there is a peculiar characteristic emphasis in the piling up, one upon another, of verbs more or less synonymous. So far as there is a traceable order, it is from the first inward impulse prompting to idolatry to the full development of that feeling in ritual. The sun, moon, and stars shall look, not on crowds of adoring worshippers, but on the carcases of those whose love and worship, transferred from Jehovah to the host of heaven, have brought on... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 8:1-22
; Jeremiah 8:1-22; Jeremiah 9:1-26; Jeremiah 10:1-25; Jeremiah 26:1-24In the four chapters which we are now to consider we have what is plainly a finished whole. The only possible exception {Jeremiah 10:1-16} shall be considered in its place. The historical occasion of the introductory prophecy, {Jeremiah 7:1-15} and the immediate effect of its delivery, are recorded at length in the twenty-sixth chapter of the book, so that in this instance we are happily not left to the uncertainties of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 8:1-22
CHAPTER 8 1. The horrors of the invasion (Jeremiah 8:1-3 ) 2. Hardened hearts and retribution (Jeremiah 8:4-12 ) 3. Utter destruction threatened (Jeremiah 8:13-17 ) 4. The prophet’s lamentation (Jeremiah 8:18-22 ) Jeremiah 8:1-3 . These verses must not be detached from the preceding chapter. The division of chapters is often unfortunate in this book. The invaders from the north would even have digged out the bones of the dead. Kings, priests, prophets and people who had worshipped the... read more
