The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-14

( vide Jeremiah 43:8-13 ). The condition of hardened sinners desperate. I. WHY IS IT SO ? 1 . Because repeated warnings have been rejected. ( Jeremiah 44:4 , Jeremiah 44:5 .) These have been inspired and infallible. Had they believed ever so little they might have trusted implicitly what was spoken, accompanied as it was with such miraculous credentials. We, in these last times, have had the Lord himself. He has revealed the heart of the Father. 2 . Because... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Jeremiah's last sermon. There are other prophecies of Jeremiah recorded in this book in the chapters that remain, but this discourse is the last that we know of his delivering. And with it the curtain falls upon this great prophet of God; upon Baruch, his beloved companion and helper; and upon the wretched Jews for whose good he had laboured, but in vain. A long interval separates it from that in the previous chapter; for we see the people not now at Tahpanhes, at the border of Egypt, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

The end of Jeremiah; or, going down in clouds. With this chapter Jeremiah disappears from view. The sadness which surrounded his first ministry accompanies it to the last and deepens at its close; like a sunset in clouds, going down in darkness and storm, The path along which he had been led had been via crucis, a via dolorosa indeed; a lifelong tragedy, an unceasing pain. We can only hope that death came soon to him after his recorded history closes. We have seen him torn from his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:4

The mind of God towards sin and sinners. "Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate!" Idolatry is the sin specially referred to here. And it was indeed an "abominable thing." Pollution, cruelty, degradation, were inseparably associated with it. But the words may be applied to all sin— should be so applied. For what is sin? It is the acting out of that evil corrupt nature which we know to our cost lurks within us all. It is the stream that naturally flows from an evil fountain, the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 44:2-5

Jeremiah 44:2-5. Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem He refers to the late destruction of it by the king of Babylon: this remnant of the people was a brand plucked out of the burning, and their eyes had been witnesses of the desolations which God had wrought. Because of their wickedness, &c. As they were eye-witnesses of the effect, so nothing but their unbelief made them strangers to the cause of the divine wrath manifested against them; for God, by his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Message to the Judeans in Egypt (44:1-30)Once they had settled down in Egypt, the Judeans soon copied Egyptian religious practices. Jeremiah begins his warnings to them with the reminder of what happened to Jerusalem. The city was destroyed and the people of Judah sent into Babylonian exile because of their false religion and idolatry (44:1-6). Yet the Judeans who escaped to Egypt have not heeded the lesson. God had promised to preserve a minority of the people taken captive to Babylon, but he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 44:4-6

This destruction had come after the Lord had sent His servants-the prophets-repeatedly, to warn the people that He hated what they were doing. Yet they did not listen and repent; they continued sacrificing to pagan gods. Their failure to repent was the cause of the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem. read more
