耶利米书 20:10 RCUVSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 20:10-11

Jeremiah 20:10-11. For I heard the defaming of many The slanderous, injurious reports that were raised concerning me; fear on every side Hebrew, magor-missabib; as if he had said, The name given to Pashur would have suited me; fear, or cause for fear, was on every side of me. These words are found verbatim in the original, (Psalms 31:13,) where the sense of them seems to be exactly the same as here, namely, from the slanderous reports raised upon him, he had reason to apprehend some... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:7-18

Jeremiah complains again (20:7-18)The prophet feels that God has not been fair to him. God has called him to be a prophet against his personal wishes, then, when he faithfully announces God’s message, the people mock and curse him (7-8). If he decides to keep quiet he finds he cannot, for God’s word burns within him and he must proclaim it. Even his friends have turned against him and now treacherously plot his downfall (9-10). When he remembers that God is on his side, he is assured that his... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 20:10

Jeremiah 20:10. Fear on every side, &c.— The Hebrew is, מסביב מגור Magor-missabib, the name which Jeremiah gave to Pashur; and if it were here read as a proper name, as in Jer 20:3 it would appear more plainly to point at the persecutions which the prophet endured from him. Houbigant renders the remainder of the verse thus; The men with whom I was at peace, watching at my side, and saying, Take care to inform us by what means he may be deceived, that we may seize him by craft, and take our... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 20:10

10. For—not referring to the words immediately preceding, but to "I will not make mention of Him." The "defaming" or detraction of the enemy on every side (see Psalms 31:13) tempted him to think of prophesying no more. Report . . . we will report—The words of his adversaries one to the other; give any information against him (true or false) which will give color for accusing him; and "we will report it," namely, to the Sanhedrim, in order to crush him. familiars—literally, "men of my peace";... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 20:7-13

Jeremiah’s struggle with his calling 20:7-13This section is another of Jeremiah’s autobiographical "confessions." In literary form it is another individual lament, like many of the psalms (cf. Psalms 6). It is one of Jeremiah’s most significant self-disclosures. The section has two parts: God the antagonist (Jeremiah 20:7-10), and God the protagonist (Jeremiah 20:11-13). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 20:10

The prophet knew that the people were complaining that all he ever talked about was coming terror. He had become a "Magomassibib" (terror on every side) of sorts himself (cf. Jeremiah 20:3), and the people may well have applied this nickname to him. They felt someone should denounce him for speaking so pessimistically and harshly about their nation. Even his trusted friends had turned against him and were hoping that he would make some mistake so they could discredit him for his words. The Lord... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 20:10-18

A collection of Jeremiah’s personal trials and sayings 15:10-20:18This section of text is highly autobiographical. It contains, among other things, most of Jeremiah’s so-called "confessions" (Jeremiah 15:10-12; Jeremiah 15:15-21; Jeremiah 17:9-11; Jeremiah 17:14-18; Jeremiah 18:18-23; Jeremiah 20:7-18). This section can be a great help and encouragement to modern servants of the Lord. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 20:1-18

1-6. Pashur’s act and Jeremiah’s reply.2. Pashur] In chapter Jeremiah 38:1 two Pashurs are mentioned. This one is perhaps the father of Gedaliah there spoken of, while Pashur the son of Malchiah of that v. is probably identical with the Pashur of Jeremiah 21:1. The houses represented by both men were strong in numbers amongst the few priestly courses that returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:36-39).3. Magormissabib] i.e. ’fear is on every side’: see on Jeremiah 6:25. The name is symbolic of his coming... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 20:10

(10) The defaming of many.—Another quotation from the Psalms (Psalms 31:13), where the Authorised Version has “the slander of many.”Fear on every side.—The Magor-missabib still rings in the prophet’s ears, and, for himself as for others, is the burden of his cry. It may be noted that this also comes from the same verse of the psalm just quoted.Report, say they, and we will report it.—Better, do you report. The words are not spoken as to the prophet, but are those with which his persecutors... read more
