The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:17-20

Idolatry a detailed insult to Jehovah. This is frequently stated in the Bible. It must be the case from the very nature of the worship of false gods. It is a denial and robbery of the true God. But the description here given helps us to realize more completely the intense sinfulness of the worship of idols, because of the circumstances attending it. I. AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES . 1. It was done publicly in the streets of Jerusalem and the cities of Judah . God was displaced... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:18

The children … the fathers … the women . All ages were represented in this idolatrous act, thus justifying the sweeping character of the judgment as described in Jeremiah 6:11 . Cakes (comp. Jeremiah 44:19 ). The word is peculiar ( kavvanim ), and perhaps entered Palestine together with the foreign rite to which the cakes belonged. Various conjectures have been offered as to their nature, but without any demonstrable ground. Sacrificial cakes were not uncommon. Hosea refers to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:18

Idolatrous worship both a warning and a model. The text vividly portrays the worship rendered to the heathen goddess, whose sumptuous and licentious worship had so fascinated those to whom the prophet wrote. I. IT IS A WARNING . For it shows the deadly contagion of sin. Now, when the head of the household goes after evil, he speedily draws in and down wife and children, until the whole family is corrupted, and they become a household of wickedness. The text reveals whole families... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:18

The family joined in idolatry. I. REMEMBER GOD 'S IDEAL OF AN ISRAELITE FAMILY . This is not set before us in any particular passage, but we can gather it from different institutions and commandments. Religion not only concerned the individual in his relation to the priest, the altar, and the holy of holies, and in his general relations to his fellow-men; but there was a very special mention of institutions and regulations which made the individual remember his position... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:17

The proof of the hopeless immorality of the people is this, that they worship pagan deities(1) generally in the cities of Judah, and not in the capital only; and(2) publicly in the streets of Jerusalem. Such public idolatry could have been practiced only in the reign of a king like Jehoiakim. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:18

Children ... fathers ... women - All members of the family take part in this idolatry.Cakes - Probably very similar to those offered at Athens to Artemis.To the queen of heaven - A Persian and Assyrian deity, who was supposed to symbolize a quality possessed by moonlight of giving to nature its receptive power, as the sun represented its quickening power. The moon thus became generally the symbol of female productiveness, and was worshipped as such at Babylon. Disgraceful usages to which every... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 7:17-19

Jeremiah 7:17-19. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah Thou canst not pass along the streets, but thou must needs be an eye witness of their abominations, committed openly and publicly in the face of the sun, without either shame or fear; and in the streets of Jerusalem In both city and country. This intimates both that their sins were evident and could not be denied, and that the sinners were impudent and would not be reclaimed: they committed their wickedness even in the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:16-34

No hope for an idolatrous people (7:16-8:3)God now tells Jeremiah that it is useless for him to persist in praying for the safety of the Judeans. They have so given themselves to idolatrous practices that nothing can save them from God’s judgment. Throughout the cities and towns of Judah people worship foreign gods, but in the process they harm themselves (16-19). The harm will be much greater when God’s judgment falls on them (20).While openly worshipping heathen gods, the people also offer... read more

children = sons. make: or, offer. queen. Some codices, with two early printed editions, read "worship", which is put by Figure of speech Metonymy (of Effect), for the goddess to whom the worship was offered.
