예레미야 7:17-20 KRV

The relations of righteousness and religion. This chapter, as indeed so much other of Jeremiah's prophecies, teaches not a little Concerning this great theme. In this chapter we note how it shows— I. THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE PRINCIPAL THING . 1. It is God's solemn demand (verse 2). 2. It is God's perpetual demand. See the whole chapter, the whole prophecy. "Amend your ways and your doings" (verse 3) is its constant appeal. 3. At first it was his only... read more

Rising up early. A striking expression concerning Jehovah. In Jeremiah 7:25 it is strengthened: "Daily rising up early." It speaks to us— I. OF THE ANXIETY OF JEHOVAH FOR HIS PEOPLE . He who has important business on hand, or dear ones in trying circumstances, or great results dependent upon immediate and strenuous exertion, will show diligence in some such way. He will be unable to rest. So it is with God and his Church. Not that he can be said to fear or be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:17-20

Idolatry a detailed insult to Jehovah. This is frequently stated in the Bible. It must be the case from the very nature of the worship of false gods. It is a denial and robbery of the true God. But the description here given helps us to realize more completely the intense sinfulness of the worship of idols, because of the circumstances attending it. I. AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES . 1. It was done publicly in the streets of Jerusalem and the cities of Judah . God was displaced... read more

The children … the fathers … the women . All ages were represented in this idolatrous act, thus justifying the sweeping character of the judgment as described in Jeremiah 6:11 . Cakes (comp. Jeremiah 44:19 ). The word is peculiar ( kavvanim ), and perhaps entered Palestine together with the foreign rite to which the cakes belonged. Various conjectures have been offered as to their nature, but without any demonstrable ground. Sacrificial cakes were not uncommon. Hosea refers to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:18

Idolatrous worship both a warning and a model. The text vividly portrays the worship rendered to the heathen goddess, whose sumptuous and licentious worship had so fascinated those to whom the prophet wrote. I. IT IS A WARNING . For it shows the deadly contagion of sin. Now, when the head of the household goes after evil, he speedily draws in and down wife and children, until the whole family is corrupted, and they become a household of wickedness. The text reveals whole families... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:18

The family joined in idolatry. I. REMEMBER GOD 'S IDEAL OF AN ISRAELITE FAMILY . This is not set before us in any particular passage, but we can gather it from different institutions and commandments. Religion not only concerned the individual in his relation to the priest, the altar, and the holy of holies, and in his general relations to his fellow-men; but there was a very special mention of institutions and regulations which made the individual remember his position... read more
