The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 46:9

A call to the army, particularizing its two grand divisions, viz. the warriors in chariots, and the light and heavy armed infantry. M. Pierret, of the Egyptian Museum at the Louvre, writes thus: "The army was composed read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 46:10

The contrast. And yet that day is ( the day ) of the Lord, Jehovah Sabdoth (the rendering of the Authorized Version, For this is the day, etc; is clearly a mistake). The "day of Jehovah" is an expression so familiar to us that we are in danger of losing a part of its sublime meaning. It is, in brief, "that crisis in the history of the world when Jehovah will interpose to rectify the evils of the present, bringing joy and glory to the humble believer, and misery and shame to the proud... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 46:10

The terror of sacrifice without its blessing. The ancient sacrifices had much about them that was very repulsive. The slaughtering and dismemberment of the vast herds of animals that were year by year brought to the altar must have involved in it very much that was of a revolting nature. No doubt their sensitiveness to such scenes of blood was far less than ours; but at the best it must have been a most painful spectacle. Hence scoffers have called it the religion of the shambles. But the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 46:9

Rather, Go up, advance, ye horses; and drive furiously, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth. They march out of Egypt, arranged in three divisions, cavalry, chariots, and infantry, to begin the campaign. The armies of Egypt were composed chiefly of mercenaries. Cush (see the margin), the Nubian negro, and Phut, the Libyans of Mauritania, supplied the heavy-armed soldiers Jeremiah 46:3; and Ludim, the Hamite Lydians of North Africa (see Genesis 10:13 note), a weaker race, served as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 46:10

Rather, But that “day belongeth to the Lord Yahweh of hosts.” They march forth in haughty confidence, but that day, the day to which they are looking forward in proud hope of victory, is Yahweh’s day, a day on which they will be the victims sacrificed in His honor. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 46:7-10

Jeremiah 46:7-10. Who is this that cometh up as a flood Here the king of Egypt is compared to a mighty river, the Nile, or the Euphrates, when it swells above its banks, and threatens to overwhelm the country with ruin and desolation. And he saith I will go up, and will cover the earth With my numerous armies; I will destroy the city Carchemish or Babylon; and the inhabitants thereof Who shall not be able to withstand the powerful force I bring against them. Thus the prophet... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:1-12

46:1-51:64 MESSAGES FOR FOREIGN NATIONSAlthough Jeremiah’s main ministry was to Judah, he had also been called to proclaim God’s message to the surrounding nations (see 1:5,10). This section of Jeremiah’s book brings together a number of the messages that the prophet announced to foreign nations during the many years of his ministry (cf. 25:13). By these messages, the prophet shows that as God deals justly with Judah, so he deals justly with Judah’s neighbours.The order in which the messages... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 46:10

Jeremiah 46:10. For this is the day of the Lord— That is, as it follows, the day of his vengeance; hence the day of the Lord is used in the New Testament to signify the day of judgment: the same phrase of a sacrifice in the north country, (Bozrah) is used by Isaiah, ch. Jeremiah 34:6. read more
