耶利米书 15:16-17 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:16

God's words a heartfelt joy. In the midst of the prophet's sorrow this passage occurs as a relieving feature—a memory of spiritual joy. At the same time it is recalled as a consideration that will weigh with him to whom he addresses himself. It defines his entire relation to God and to Israel, and describes his claim. I. THE WORDS OF GOD TEST AND EXHIBIT THE INWARD LOYALTY OF THE SAINT . It is not merely that a certain feeling has been excited in the mind,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:16

How to study the Scriptures. This verse declares— I. HOW WE SHOULD DEAL WITH GOD 'S WORDS . 1. We are to " find ' them . We are not to be content with mere surface reading, but to "search the Scriptures." It is certain that without this searching they will never be found. Now, it is this conviction which has led to the recent revision of the Scriptures. They who undertook that work were not ignorant of nor indifferent to the many objections which would be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:16

The living Word. The prophet, remonstrating with God on account of the hardness of his lot, here looks back regretfully to the time of his first call to the prophetic office. It is the language of one disappointed and disheartened by the apparent issue of his life, and the bitterness of whose grief is intensified by the remembrance of hopes unfulfilled, and a joy that has forever passed away. It is as if God were " altogether unto him as a liar, and as waters that fail." Apart, however,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:17

In the assembly of the mockers ; rather, of the laughers . The serious thoughts arising out of his sacred office restrained him from taking part in the festive meetings to which his youth would naturally incline him (cutup. on Jeremiah 16:2 ). Because of thy hand . The Hand of Jehovah is a figurative expression for the self-revealing and irresistible power of Jehovah; it is, therefore, equivalent to the Arm of Jehovah ( Isaiah 53:1 ), but is used in preference with regard to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 15:17

The sadness and solitude of a prophet. I. A PROPHET 'S COMMUNION WITH GOD DOES NOT PRECLUDE EARTHLY SADNESS AND SOLITUDE . Jeremiah was not plunged into grief through any unfaithfulness; he was under no shadow in regard to heavenly communications; yet he was sad and solitary. 1. Consider the sadness . While we am in this world we suffer with it and from its action upon us, even though we may be living very near to God. Christ was a man of sorrows; he sighed... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 15:15-18

This is the prayer of a man in bitter grief, whose human nature cannot at present submit to the divine will. God’s long-suffering toward the wicked seemed to the prophet to be the abandonment of himself to death; justice itself required that one who was suffering contumely for God’s sake should be delivered.Rebuke - i. e., reproach, contumely.Jeremiah 15:16Thy words were found - Jeremiah’s summons to the prophetic office had not been expected or sought for by him.I did eat them - i. e., I... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 15:15-16

Jeremiah 15:15-16. O Lord, thou knowest Thou knowest my sincerity, how faithfully I have declared thy will: or, thou knowest my sufferings, how wickedly my enemies act toward me. It is matter of comfort to us, that, whatever befalls us, we have a God to go to, before whom we may spread our case, and to whose omniscience we may appeal, as the prophet here does. Remember me, and visit me Think upon me for good, and visit me with thy love, while this people are visited with thy wrath. ... read more

Jeremiah 15:17-18. I sat not in the assembly of the mockers Or, of those that make merry, as משׂחקים is elsewhere rendered: see Jeremiah 30:19; Jeremiah 31:4. Jeremiah soon found that the joy which he had conceived in being called to the prophetic office, and favoured with extraordinary communications from God, was turned into heaviness, God continually filling his mouth with dreadful messages, and his prophecies containing nothing but terrible denunciations of wrath against a sinful... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-21

Jeremiah’s anguish; God’s comfort (15:10-21)The prophet again complains to God because of the unjust treatment he suffers. He has done no harm to the people, and in fact has pleaded on their behalf for God’s mercy upon them, yet they hate him. They are angered at his attacks on their sin and his forecasts of judgment. Their hearts are as hard as iron (10-12). God’s word is that the Judeans will be invaded, plundered and taken captive (13-14).Knowing that God is understanding, Jeremiah asks that... read more
