The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 8:10-12

These verses are almost the same as Jeremiah 6:12-15 ; the differences are in Jeremiah 6:10 . They are omitted in the Septuagint, and Hitzig regards them as an interpolation, at any rate from the point where the present passage coincides verbally with its parallel. His grounds are: Verses 8:13-9:1 Further description of the judgment; grief of Jeremiah. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 8:13

There shall be no grapes , etc.; rather, there are no grapes … and the leaf is faded . It is the actual condition of things which the prophet describes. Elsewhere Judah is compared to a vine with bad grapes ( Jeremiah 2:21 ); here the vine does not even pretend to bear fruit. Another figure is that of a barren fig tree (comp. Matthew 21:19 ). And the things that I have given them , etc.; rather, and I gave them that which they transgress (viz. laws ). The construction,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 8:13-15

False hopes ministering despair. The lessons of life are not readily learned by most men. They require to be frequently repeated ere they produce an impression. God, therefore, deals severely with his people, whose delusion is the more unpardonable because of the piety of their fathers and the light of revelation which had been given. He will, therefore, make to "pass away from them" one by one the things that he had given: the fruits of the earth shall be cut off; the comforts of life... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 8:14

Why do we sit still? The prophet transports us by a stroke of his pea into the midst of the fulfillment of his prophecy. The people of the country districts are represented as urging each other to flight. True, it is the resource of despair. No defensed cities can defend them against the judgment of Jehovah. Let us be silent ; rather, let us perish ; literally, let us be put to silence . Hath put us to silence ; rather, hath caused us to perish ; i . e . hath decreed our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 8:14-15

Despair. I. DESPAIR WILL ARISE ON THE PERCEPTION THAT THERE IS NO WAY OF ESCAPE FROM RUIN . The miserable Jews are pictured as first sitting still helplessly, and then rousing themselves to enter the fenced cities, only to find that death awaits them there as surely as in the open plain. People are too ready to believe that "something will turn up," and so hold on, in confidence and indifference, till their eyes are suddenly opened, and they see room for... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 8:10-12

These verses are almost identical with Jeremiah 6:12-15.Jeremiah 8:10To them that shall inherit them - Rather, “to those that shall take possession of them, i. e., “to conquerors who shall take them by force. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 8:13

Or, “I will gather and sweep them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry: therefore will I appoint those that shall pass over them.” Judah is a vine which bears no fruit: a tree which makes even no profession of life, for her leaf is dry. Many explain the last words of an army sweeping over the land like a flood. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 8:14

The people rouse one another to exertion. “Why,” they ask, “do we remain here to be overwhelmed?” They are ready now to follow the command given (see the marginal reference), but with the conviction that all hope is over.Let us be silent there - Rather, let us perish there, literally “be put to silence.”Water of gall - i. e., poison. The word rendered “gall” was probably the belladonna, or night-shade, to the “berries” of which the grapes of Israel were compared. read more

Jeremiah 8:10-12. Therefore will I give their wives unto others See on Jeremiah 6:12; and their fields to them, that shall inherit, or possess, them For the word inherit is sometimes taken for any sort of possession. See Psalms 32:8. So Israel is called the Lord’s inheritance, chap. Jeremiah 10:16, and elsewhere. The expression, however, implies that their fields should not only be taken possession of by the victorious Chaldeans, should be ravaged and stripped of their crops and... read more

Jeremiah 8:13. There shall be no grapes on the vine A figurative expression, to signify that there should be none of them left. And the leaf shall fade, &c. As both leaves and fruit wither and fade when a tree is blasted or killed, so will I utterly deprive this people of all the blessings I had given them, of those which are for use, as well as those which are for ornament. read more
