耶利米书 25:22-26 CUNPSS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:26

The kings of the north, far and near - The first may mean Syria; the latter, the Hyrcanians and Bactrians. And the king of Sheshach shall drink after them - Sheshach was an ancient king of Babylon, who was deified after his death. Here it means either Babylon, or Nebuchadnezzar the king of it. After it has been the occasion of ruin to so many other nations, Babylon itself shall be destroyed by the Medo-Persians. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:22

Verse 22 As to the word Island, the number is to be changed; for the Prophet means not one island, but the countries beyond the sea. Some restrict the reference to Cyprus, Crete, Mitylene, and other islands in the Mediterranean; but it is a common way of speaking in Hebrew, to call all countries beyond the sea islands. “The kings of the islands shall come.” (Psalms 72:10.) The Prophet in that passage calls those the kings of the islands who would come in ships to Judea. So also in this place... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:23

Verse 23 I shall now only touch briefly on the extreme ones in a corner, or those bounded by a corner, who were almost unknown to the Jews on account of their distance. (142) After having spoken of nations so very remote, that he might not by prolixity be tedious, he mentions all the extreme ones in a corner, that is, those who were bounded by the farthest limits. As to Dedan, Tema, and Buz, we know that these countries derived their names from their founders. Who Dedan was, we learn from... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:24

Verse 24 The Prophet now mentions the kings of Arabia, who were neighbors on one side to the Jews. He has hitherto mentioned nations towards the sea; he has named many maritime towns, and also others which were at some distance from the sea, and yet were not remote; for they were towns and countries intermediate between Judea and Syria or Cilicia, or verging towards Cilicia. He now speaks of Arabia, which was between Egypt and Babylon. And though Arabia was divided into three parts; it was... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:25

Verse 25 He now mentions nations more remote, but whose fame was more known among the Jews. We, indeed, know that the Elamites, who dwelt between Media and Persia, had ever been people of great repute. As to Media, it was a very large kingdom and wealthy, abounding in all delicacies; and we also know how fond of display were the Medes. With regard to Zimri, (144) it was an obscure nation in comparison with the Elamites and the Medes. The Prophet, however, intimates that every part of the earth,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:26

Verse 26 The Prophet speaks now of the kings of the north who bordered on the king of Babylon; for as to Judea, Babylon was northward. He calls all those who were towards Chaldea the kings of the north. He then says, Whether near or remote, every one shall be against his brother, and, in short, all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the earth There is no doubt, as we shall see, but that the Prophet put in the last place the Chaldeans and their king. It is hence probable that what he here... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:22

Kings of Tyrus, kings of Zidon . Under the names of the two leading cities, the prophet includes the various dependent Phoenician commonwealths. Hence the plural "kings." The isles. The Hebrew has the singular, "the isle," or rather, "the coast-land" (more strictly, the region ), i.e. perhaps either Tartessus in Spain, or Cyprus (which Esarhaddon describes as "lying in the midst of the sea," and as having two kings, 'Records of the Past,' 3:108). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:23

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz. Three tribes of North Arabia, bordering on Edom. The two former are mentioned as commercial peoples in Isaiah 21:13 , Isaiah 21:14 ; Ezekiel 27:15 , Ezekiel 27:20 ; Ezekiel 38:13 ; Job 6:19 . Elihu, Job's youngest friend, was of Bus ( Job 32:2 ). All that are in the utmost corners ; rather, all the corner-clipped (see on Jeremiah 9:26 ). read more
