The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:19-27

The hallowing of the Sabbath day. I. THE PLACE FOR ANNOUNCING THE MESSAGE . 1. It was a place where the king , as much as the people , would hear . Whatever else may be signified by "the gate of the children of the people" it seems clear that it was a gate in which, at certain times, the king would be found. In his own house it might be impossible to gain access to him; but the gate was open to all; and there he could not choose but listen to a man who would... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 17:19-27

This prophecy on the observance of the Sabbath, is the first of a series of short predictions. arranged probably in chronological order among themselves, but in other respects independent of one another. Its tone is mild, and dissuasive rather of future neglect than condemnatory of past misconduct; and it may be assigned to the commencement of Jehoiakim’s reign. Its similarity to the prophecy contained in Jeremiah 22:1-5 makes it probable that they were contemporaneous.Jeremiah 17:19The gate of... 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 17:19-20

The Lord commanded Jeremiah to station himself at the gates of Jerusalem, where the king and the people passed by. It seems impossible to determine which of the gates of Jerusalem was the so-called public gate. It may even have been an entrance into the outer court of the temple. [Note: Ibid., 1:289.] The prophet was to call the kings and people to listen to the Lord’s message that he had for them. If chapter 7 records Jeremiah’s Temple Sermon, one might regard this as his Gate Sermon. read more
