Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:5

Go back also to Gedaliah - If thou wilt stay in thy own land, thou hadst best put thyself under the protection of thy countryman Gedaliah, whom the King of Babylon has made governor of the land. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:1

Verse 1 Here Jeremiah pursues more at large what he had briefly touched upon before; for the Hebrews were wont, in a few words, to state the substance of the whole, and then to explain more diffusely what, they had briefly said. Jeremiah had before told us that some of the Babylonian generals had been sent to release him from prison; and he added that he had been committed to the care of Gedaliah, who had been set over the poor of the land. He now tells us, that he, as yet bound with chains,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:3

Verse 3 But before he says this, he administers reproof to the people, and says, Jehovah thy God hath spoken evil on this city; and he hath brought it, and made it to come. Here Nebuzar-adan undertook the prophetic office, and spoke in high terms of God’s righteous vengeance on the people. There is no doubt but that God had raised up such a teacher to the Jews; for they had for forty years and more obstinately rejected celestial truth. God had not ceased kindly to invite them to repentance, and... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:5

Verse 5 Jeremiah goes on with the same discourse, that Nebuzar-adan dealt bountifully with him, and permitted him to go wherever he wished. We hence conclude that Nebuchadnezzar was fully convinced of the honesty and uprightness of Jeremiah. For he knew how he was regarded among his own people, and that he might rouse great disturbances, except he was upright and quiet. As, then, Nebuchadnezzar had no doubt respecting’ the character of Jeremiah, he wished to grant him free liberty to choose his... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 40:6

Verse 6 Here is shown to us the firmness of the Prophet, that he hesitated not to reject, what Nebuzaradan kindly offered to him, and yet he might have committed a great offense in making light, as it were, of Chaldea. It was, as we know, a very pleasant country, and very fertile; and tyrants cannot bear their bounty to be despised; for when they are pleased to honor any one, however little may be what they offer, if he refuses, they regard it as a dishonor done to them. The Prophet, then,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1

The word that came to Jeremiah. The formula seems to announce a prophecy; but no prophecy follows. It is not allowable to suppose, with Keil and others, that "the word" describes the entire body of prophetic utterance in ch. 40-45 (in spite of the fact that Jeremiah 44:1-30 . and 45. have special headings). The use would be unexampled; and a prologue of forty verses (see Jeremiah 42:7 ) is equally contrary to prophetic analogy. Apparently the "word," or prophecy, which originally... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 40:1-5

Jeremiah's release. I. THE INNOCENT OFTEN SUFFER WITH THE GUILTY . It would seem that orders had been given in Jerusalem for the liberation of the prophet ( Jeremiah 39:11-14 ), but that, in the confusion of the sack of the city, inferior officers had led off Jeremiah in chains with the rest of the captives. Thus he shared the indignities and hardships of companions who deserved a fate from which his innocence should have saved him. It is part of the discipline of life that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 40:2-3

The blind seeing, the seeing blind. This heathen captain, who could not be expected to know the truth, who was, as it were, born blind as to the truth of God, sees clearly that truth, and declares it; whilst the people of Judah and Jerusalem, their kings, their priests, their nobles, all of whom regarded themselves as knowing the truth, who, as in John 9:41 , said, "We see," are found to be completely blind as to that truth. Note herein - I. HOW CLEAR WAS THE RECOGNITION ... read more
