耶利米書 17:18 RCUVTS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 17:15-18

Jeremiah 17:15-18. Behold, they say unto me Scoffing at me, as if I had denounced threatenings in thy name, without any order or direction from thee: Where is the word of the Lord? Like the scoffers, mentioned by St. Peter, 2 Peter 3:4, saying, Where is the promise of his coming? This has been the practice of all wicked men, hardened in their sinful courses, and resolved to go on in them: they put the evil day far from them, and scoff at all denunciations of divine wrath. Let it come... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 17:14-27

Forthright messages (17:14-27)Jeremiah is still distressed and once more appeals to God for help. His complaint is that the people mock him when they do not see his prophecies come true (14-15). He reminds God that he has done no more than announce the message God has given him. He personally does not wish doom upon the nation. Therefore, he asks God to be his protector against his persecutors (16-18).One of God’s commands to Jeremiah was that he go around the various city gates and warn the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 17:1-18

Judah’s indelible sin and sin’s deceitfulness 17:1-18The next five sections (Jeremiah 17:1-18) continue the theme of Judah’s guilt from the previous chapter. These pericopes have obvious connections with one another, but they were evidently originally separate prophecies. Jeremiah 17:1-4 are particularly ironic. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 17:18

He prayed for God to humiliate his persecutors but not to humiliate him (cf. Jeremiah 1:17). He asked that the Lord would punish them severely for their apostasy (cf. Jeremiah 17:4; Jeremiah 16:18; Jeremiah 20:12; Psalms 17:1-8)."The experience Jeremiah had had in his calling seemed to contradict the truth, that trust in the Lord brings blessing (Jeremiah 17:7 ff.); for his preaching of God’s word had brought him nothing but persecution and suffering. Therefore he prays the Lord to remove this... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:1-18

1-4. The sin of Judah is indelible. Hence the severity of the punishment.2. Groves] RV ’Asherim,’ wooden pillars, or monuments, set up in honour of Astoreth (Astarte), generally near altars (e.g. Judges 6:25). The Law ordered them to be pulled down (Exodus 34:13). 3. O my mountain in the field] The hill on which Jerusalem is built rises high above the plain. On the other hand, it is lower than the surrounding mountains, hence can be spoken of as a ’valley’ in Jeremiah 21:13. For sin] i.e.... read more

(18) Let them be confounded . . .—The prayer reminds us of that of the Psalmist (Psalms 35:4; Psalms 40:14).Double destruction.—Literally, break them with a two-fold breaking—i.e., the “double recompense” of Jeremiah 16:18. (See Note there.) read more

Jeremiah 17:9 PÈre Pacheu quotes the saying of the Comte de Maistre: 'Whatever the conscience of a criminal may be, I know only the heart of an honest man, and it is a wretched and a fearful thing!' A Bad Heart Jeremiah 17:9-10 I wish, firstly, to prove to you the truth of the words 'the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked'; secondly, to remind you that God knows what is within you 'I the Lord search the heart'; and, thirdly, the only remedy that can do you any good, if... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1-27

CHAPTER IXTHE DROUGHT AND ITS MORAL IMPLICATIONSJeremiah 14:1-22; Jeremiah 15:1-21 (17?)VARIOUS opinions have been expressed about the division of these chapters. They have been cut up into short sections, supposed to be more or less independent of each other; and they have been regarded as constituting a well-organised whole, at least so far as the eighteenth verse of chapter 17. The truth may lie between these extremes. Chapters 14, 15 certainly hang together; for in them the prophet... read more
