耶利米書 5:27 RCUVTS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 5:25-29

Jeremiah 5:25-29. Your iniquities have turned away these things See note on Jeremiah 3:3. For among my people are found wicked men I need not search for such among the heathen nations, for they are easily found among them that are called by my name. They lay wait, &c. They use all the arts of fraud and cunning, that they may overreach others, and make a prey of them and their substance. They set a trap, they catch men Such a trap did Jezebel lay for Naboth, 1 Kings 21:9-10. Such a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 5:20-31

A corrupt society (5:20-31)The people of Judah do not fear God for his mighty power (20-21), nor do they give him thanks for the benefits he gives them through nature (22-24). They think they can go their own way regardless of God, but in so doing they miss out on his blessings (25).By cruelty, cunning and bribery, the wealthy increase their power, but the poor cannot obtain justice in even the smallest affairs. Administrators and judges alike are corrupt (26-28). God sees all this, and will... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 5:27

Jeremiah 5:27. As a cage is full of birds— A trap-cage. כלוב kelub, comes from כלב keleb, a dog; and this name was undoubtedly given to the trap-cage, because it served the same purpose as a dog in assisting to catch game. That sort of trap-cage also seems to be alluded to, in which tame birds are put to hop and fly about as a decoy to others. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 5:20-31

Yahweh’s warning to His complacent people 5:20-31There were three aspects to Judah’s failure: the people’s perversity (Jeremiah 5:20-25), their injustice (Jeremiah 5:26-29), and their leaders (Jeremiah 5:30-31). [Note: Craigie, p. 95.] "Jeremiah rebukes the Judeans as a whole for their utter stupidity and lack of moral discernment. They have flaunted the covenant stipulations, and many ruthless individuals have prospered at the expense of the down-trodden." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . .,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 5:26-27

Many of the Judahites had wickedly tricked their neighbors and had accumulated wealth by deceiving them. They had put their fellow Israelites in their debt, robbed them of their freedom, and so caged them like birds (cf. Habakkuk 2:6; Habakkuk 2:8; Mark 10:19; 1 Thessalonians 4:6; Titus 2:10)."Birds were snared with a net; men closed the net with cords when a bird came into it. Then the birds were put into a basket (. . . Micah 7:2)." [Note: Graybill, p. 664.] read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 5:1-31

Jeremiah 5:1 To feel and to bring out the force of this verse stress must be laid upon the word man. The text tells us what a man is; how rare a man is; how valuable a man is. I. The man that is to be sought out according to the direction in this verse is a person that executeth judgment, and that seeketh the truth. A man, then, is first of all one that does what is light and just from principle, uniformly, and towards all. Further, a man is one who not only does what is right, but he has in... read more

We must prepare ourselves with some knowledge of the circumstances of the time, and we must form some general conception of the ideas and aims of the inspired writer, both in themselves, and in their relation to passing events. Of the former, a partial and fragmentary... read more
