耶利米书 7:18 CUVS

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 7:18

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.

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:18

Jeremiah 7:18. To the queen of heaven— The queen of heaven was the moon; the same as Astarte or Ashtaroth. The prophet here describes the whole family as busied in preparing their sacrifices and superstitious rites to this idol. Houbigant renders the words other gods, very properly, by strange gods; and Jeremiah 7:19. Do they aggrieve me, saith the Lord, and not themselves [rather], to the confusion of their own faces? read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:18

18. children . . . fathers . . . women—Not merely isolated individuals practised idolatry; young and old, men and women, and whole families, contributed their joint efforts to promote it. Oh, that there were the same zeal for the worship of God as there is for error (Jeremiah 44:17; Jeremiah 44:19; Jeremiah 19:13)! cakes . . . queen of heaven—Cakes were made of honey, fine flour, c., in a round flat shape to resemble the disc of the moon, to which they were offered. Others read as Margin, "the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:1-25

Aspects of false religion 7:1-8:3All the messages in this section deal with departure from the Lord in religious practices, either in pagan rites or in the perversion of the proper worship of Yahweh that the Mosaic Law specified. All the material in this section fits conditions in Judah after 609 B.C., when Jehoiakim began allowing a return to pagan practices after the end of Josiah’s reforms. Another feature of this section is the large amount of prose material it contains, much more than the... read more
