John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:9

Verse 9 The Prophet confirms the former verse, and it was indeed necessary that this should be added, for though Zedekiah might not have divested himself of all anxiety and fear, he must yet have been moved by that prophecy, and thus he might have become more hardened in his obduracy, as it is the case with hypocrites; who, when they find that they can gain nothing, become furious against God, and run on headlong in their course. This might then have been the case with Zedekiah and also the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:10

Verse 10 The Prophet shews how foolishly and absurdly the Jews acted, in casting their eyes on fortunate events, and thus forming their opinions. He therefore exhorts them to cease to rely on such a confidence as would deceive them; for he says, that though they gained many battles, and the war turned on their side, yet they could not escape final ruin, for they had to do with God. It was hence the same thing, as though he had said, that they were not to judge by their state at that time, as to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:5-10

Hopes that betray. The king, continuing in his rebellion against God as well as against Nebuchadnezzar, invoked the aid of Pharaoh-Necho. At the tidings of his advance the Chaldeans raised the siege, but only that they might defeat the Egyptians, and return again in greater force and fury. I. THE NATURE OF THESE HOPES . 1 . They are based upon human means alone. 2 . They arise from following the dictates of our own will and wisdom. II. HOW THEY BETRAY . ... read more

Self-deception. "Deceive not yourselves." I. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF - DECEPTION . As fallible beings, surrounded with mystery, and often beset by illusions we are likely to fall into unavoidable mistakes for which we cannot be held responsible. There are other errors which we might avoid if we took the right means for ascertaining the facts; but from indifference, or from indolence, or from unwillingness to see an unpleasant truth that is already half suspected, we... read more

Be not deceived. There was ground for this exhortation, and there is still. Then as now— I. VERY MANY WERE DECEIVED . II. APPEARANCES WERE DECEPTIVE . III. NONE COULD CLAIM EXEMPTION FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING DECEIVED . IV. THERE WAS A TRAITOR WITHIN THE CAMP . Their hearts wished that to be true which they therefore thought to be true. V. TO BE DECEIVED IS TO BE PLUNGED IN THE UTTERMOST OF SORROW ... read more

Israel's delusion as to its enemy. I. THE DELUSION ENTERTAINED . That a great army is before Jerusalem is, of course, no delusion, and that it may effect a great deal of damage of a certain sort is no delusion. The delusion lies here, in supposing that the removal of the army would be the removal of the danger. And this delusion being strong in the minds of the people led them to seek the help of Egypt. A carnal foe was to be overcome by the help of a carnal friend. And similarly we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:10

Even if the Jews had defeated the whole Chaldean army, and there remained but a group of sorely wounded men, these in their weakness would be enabled to carry out God's sure purpose. But wounded men hardly brings out the force of the Hebrew; the word rendered "men" is emphatic, and expresses paucity of numbers, and that rendered "wounded" is, literally, pierced through. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:10

The irresistible will of God. I. THE FACT . The Jews were ready to believe that Egypt was a match for Babylon, and to hope that through the conflict of these two powers they might regain their liberty. Even if they were justified in thinking so from a calculation of the material resources of these great empires, Jeremiah reminded them that there were other considerations to be taken into account before the result could be predicted. It was the will of God that Babylon should conquer... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 37:10

God's purpose independent of means. The declaration of the certainty of the judgments upon Judah is absolute. They are not to be avoided by any human effort or apparent success. The soldiers of Chaldea, although they were to be wounded ("thrust through" equivalent to "dead"?), would still avail for the work they had to do, and would be raised again to do it. I. THE LESSON . A twofold one, viz.: 1 . The inevitableness of the Divine will, whether it be to destroy or to save. ... read more
