Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 22:1-2

Jeremiah 22:1-2. Thus saith the Lord The prophecy which follows to Jeremiah 23:9, was evidently delivered in the reign of Jehoiakim; for it speaks of his immediate predecessor as already gone into captivity, and foretels the death of Jehoiakim himself. Blaney thinks it followed immediately after what is said in the xixth and xxth chapters to have passed in the temple precincts, from whence, as from a higher ground, he supposes the prophet is ordered to go down to the house of the king of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-9

A king’s responsibility (21:11-22:9)As he has no doubt done many times, Jeremiah tells the leaders of Judah that they must correct the widespread social injustice that has corrupted their nation. If they do not, God will destroy the nation in judgment (11-12). They are deceiving themselves if they think that God will not allow anyone to attack Jerusalem. They are going to be disappointed if they think that the city’s fortified position guarantees its safety (13-14).The king has a duty to... read more

1-9. Call to amendment of life.1. Go down] The king’s house was on lower ground than the Temple: cp. Jeremiah 36:12. 3. The reference is to the special crimes of Jehoiakim more fully stated in Jeremiah 36:13: cp. 2 Kings 23:35.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 22:1-30

The Woes of the Unjust Jeremiah 22:13 The whole law is contained in these words, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbour as thyself'. These two parts cannot be separated. God places us among our own kind, and our character cannot be formed and our souls saved without doing justly and loving mercy, while we walk humbly with our God. If we are servants, we are to do honest work for our masters; and if we are masters, we are to give equitable wages to our servants.... read more
