The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:13

Written in the earth. I. As INDICATION OF WHY MEN DEPART FROM GOD . "Those who depart from Jehovah," says the prophet, "shall be written in the earth" Therefore we conclude that their aim is to be written in some more durable and trustworthy substance. When they are spoken of as departing from God, the description is one accommodated to our thoughts rather than exactly correspondent with reality. The connection has been real so far as mere opportunity and privilege were... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 17:5-18

In the rest of the prophecy Jeremiah dwells upon the moral faults which had led to Judah’s ruin.Jeremiah 17:6Like the heath - Or, “like a destitute man” Psalms 102:17. The verbs “he shall see” (or fear) and “shall inhabit” plainly show that a man is here meant and not a plant.Jeremiah 17:8The river - Or, “water-course” Isaiah 30:25, made for purposes of irrigation.Shall not see - Or, “shall not fear Jeremiah 17:6.” God’s people feel trouble as much as other people, but they do not fear it... read more

Jeremiah 17:13. O Lord, the hope of Israel That is, He in whom alone thy true Israel can hope; all they that forsake thee shall be ashamed Those who forsake thy law and that rule which thou hast given them, whereby to direct their conversation, will sooner or later be ashamed of such their disobedience. Or, as Lowth paraphrases the words, “Thou hast given many gracious promises to thy people, to encourage them to trust in thee; and they that forsake their interest in thy goodness will... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1-13

Wrong attitudes and their outcome (17:1-13)Baal worship has become so much a part of the people’s everyday lives that God sees it as engraved on their hearts. It is so widely practised in Judah that it cannot be removed from the land unless the people themselves are removed (17:1-4). Those who ignore God and trust in themselves are likened to a useless stunted bush that tries to grow in barren ground. Those who trust in God are likened to a healthy green tree that flourishes in well-watered... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 17:13

Jeremiah 17:13. Shall be written in the earth— "Their name shall be written in the dust, the least wind shall obliterate it." This is a proverbial manner of speaking, parallel to that of the Latins, who, speaking of vain and false promises, say that they are written on water; or, perhaps, to be written upon earth, may be put in opposition with the writing in heaven in the book of life. "The wicked may make themselves a name upon the earth; but this is all their portion; they shall be blotted... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 17:13

13. me—"Jehovah." Though "Thee" precedes. This sudden transition is usual in the prophetic style, owing to the prophet's continual realization of Jehovah's presence. all that forsake thee— (Psalms 73:27; Isaiah 1:28). written in the earth—in the dust, that is, shall be consigned to oblivion. So Jesus' significant writing "on the ground (probably the accusers' names)" (John 8:6). Names written in the dust are obliterated by a very slight wind. Their hopes and celebrity are wholly in the earth,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 17:1-18

Judah’s indelible sin and sin’s deceitfulness 17:1-18The next five sections (Jeremiah 17:1-18) continue the theme of Judah’s guilt from the previous chapter. These pericopes have obvious connections with one another, but they were evidently originally separate prophecies. Jeremiah 17:1-4 are particularly ironic. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 17:13

This had been true because Yahweh Himself was the hope of His people (cf. Jeremiah 14:8; Jeremiah 50:7). Consequently all who break covenant and forsake Him, the Fountain of Living Water (Jeremiah 2:13), will suffer humiliation and will become the objects of His judgment. The Lord keeps a record of those who turn away from Him (cf. Jeremiah 17:1).Jeremiah 17:14-18 are another of Jeremiah’s "confessions." The guilt of Judah is prominent in the first part of this chapter, but now the innocence of... read more

Groves] RV ’Asherim,’ wooden pillars, or monuments, set up in honour of Astoreth (Astarte), generally near altars (e.g. Judges 6:25). The Law ordered them to be pulled down (Exodus 34:13). 3.

On the other hand, it is lower than the surrounding mountains, hence can be spoken of as a ’valley’ in Jeremiah 21:13. For sin] i.e.... read more
