The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:9-15
It is an all but complete Judgment, which Jehovah foreshows. Unwilling as the people are to hear it, the disclosure must be made. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:9-17
The preacher's bitter cry. Profound distress marks the prophet's utterances in this section. The lament over the incorrigible wickedness of men and his own baffled work is loud and long and bitter exceedingly (cf. Christ's tears over Jerusalem; Paul's sorrow over his countrymen). I. WHAT CAUSED THIS BITTER CRY ? His perception of the judgment of God drawing nigh ( Jeremiah 6:9 , Jeremiah 6:12 , Jeremiah 6:15 ). The obstinacy of the people ( Jeremiah 6:10 , Jeremiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:10
Their ear is uncircumcised ; covered as it were with a foreskin, which prevents the prophetic message from finding admittance. Elsewhere it is the heart (Le 26:41; Ezekiel 44:7 ), or the lips ( Exodus 6:12 ) which are said to be " circumcised ;" a passage in Stephen's speech applies the epithet both to the heart and to the ears ( Acts 7:51 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:10
The uncircumcised ear. I. WHAT IS THIS ? Not a physical defect, although the figure employed seems to tell of some fleshly growth which has formed over the cavity of the ear, and so destroyed the power of hearing. Nor a mental defect. They were acute enough; they readily understood the prophet's meaning when he spoke to them. Their minds were at that very time busy about all sorts of plots and schemes, which they hoped to carry out. Nor was it a moral defect. They knew the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:10-11
The indifference of men and the burden of truth. We have here revealed to us a conflict in the mind of the prophet. At first it seems vain for him to speak, for none heed his warnings ( Jeremiah 6:10 ); but then he feels the awful burden of his message compelling utterance. While he looks at his audience he loses heart and sees little good in attempting to influence them; but when he looks within at his trust he finds that this has claims and powers before which he must bow obediently.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:11
Therefore I am full ; rather, But I am full . I will pour it out . The text has "pour it out." The sudden transition to the imperative is certainly harsh, and excuses the conjectural emendation which underlies the rendering of the Authorized Version. If we retain the imperative, we must explain it with reference to Jeremiah's inner experience. There are, we must remember, two selves in the prophet (comp. Isaiah 21:6 ), and the higher prophetic self here addresses the lower or human... read more

Shall be turned ; i . e . transferred. Their fields and wives . Wives are regarded as a property, as in Exodus 20:17 (comp. Deuteronomy 5:21 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:13
Given to covetousness ; literally, gaineth gain ; but the word here rendered "gain" implies that it is unrighteous gain (the root means "to tear"), Unjust gain and murder are repeatedly singled out in the Old Testament as representative sins (comp. Ezekiel 33:31 ; Psalms 119:36 ; Isaiah 1:15 ; Jeremiah 2:34 ; and see my note on Isaiah 57:17 ). There is a special reason for the selection of "covetousness" here. Land was the object of a high-born Jew's ambition, and expulsion... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:13
Verse 13 The Prophet now again declares, that it was nothing strange that God resolved to deal with so much severity with that people, and to execute on them extreme vengeance; for no part was whole and sound, but impiety had pervaded all ranks. It might, indeed, be ascribed to the young, as well as to the old, for he says, From the small to the great; but I prefer to understand the first clause of the poor and the lower orders, and the second of the higher ranks, who excelled in power and... read more
