耶利米書 22:28-30 CUNPTS

Is this man Coniah , etc.? The prophet's human feelings are stirred; he cannot withhold his sympathy from the sad fate of his king. What! he exclaims; is it possible that this Coniah is treated as a piece of ill-wrought pottery ware (comp. Jeremiah 18:4 ), and "hurled" into a strange land? He and his seed . These words have caused some difficulty, owing to the youth, of Jehoiachin. According to 2 Kings 24:8 he was only eighteen when he was carried captive, while 2 Chronicles 36:9 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:29

The impassioned cry of God to man. This cry, "O earth, earth, earth ," etc; sounds out like the alarm of fire, or some bitter cry of distress. It startles by its earnestness, arrests and demands attention, and compels us to inquire into its cause. Note, therefore— I. THE OCCASION OF IT . This will show us what word of the Lord's is meant. It was wrung out from the prophet's heart by the sight of the calamities now so swiftly coming upon his beloved land. To think of that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:30

Write ye this man childless ; i.e. enter him in the register of the citizens (comp. Isaiah 4:3 ) as one who has no heirs. He may have children, but none of them shall succeed to his place in the community. This is all that the passage means; there is no discrepancy with history: how should there be, when Jeremiah himself has mentioned the posterity of Jehoiachin? Yet the Septuagint thought it necessary to avoid the appearance of such a discrepancy by rendering, not "childless," but "one... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:28

Idol - Rather, vessel. Is Coniah a mere piece of common earthenware in which the potter has no pleasure, and therefore breaks it? It is a lamentation over Jehoiachin’s hard fate, and that of his seed. This and the two following verses may have been written after the king had been carried into captivity. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:30

Childless - No child to sit on David’s throne. See 1 Chronicles 3:17 note.Jeconiah was the last king of David’s line. His uncle indeed actually reigned after him, but perished with his sons long before Jeconiah’s death (literally 10): and yet from so dead a trunk, from a family so utterly fallen, that spiritual King came forth whose name is “Yahweh our righteousness” Jeremiah 23:5-6. read more

Jeremiah 22:24-28. As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah were the signet, or, rather, the ring, upon my right hand By Coniah he means Jehoiachin, whose name was Jeconiah, 1 Chronicles 3:16, (for all Josiah’s sons had two names, and so had his grandchild Jeconiah,) here, in contempt, called Coniah; yet would I pluck thee thence Though he were never so near and dear to me, as dear as a signet, or ring, which every man keeps safe, yet his wickedness would make him forfeit all my favour... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 22:29-30

Jeremiah 22:29-30. O earth, &c. The word earth, or land rather, as ארצ may be properly rendered, is repeated three times by way of emphasis, to engage the deeper attention. The prophet speaks to the land of Judea, which he commands to write down the following prediction, that it might be remembered by them, and the truth of it be thereby made manifest. Write ye this man childless Hebrew, ערירי , solitary, deprived, destitute. The LXX. render it εκκηρυκτον αυθρωτον , an ejected,... read more
