The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:6

Thine habitation , etc. According to St. Jerome, this is addressed to the prophet; but it is better to follow the Targum, which makes the clause refer to the Jewish people. The connection is (as Dr. Payne Smith points out)," Trust no one; for thou dwellest surrounded by deceit on every side." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:7

I will melt them. It is the same word as that used in Malachi 3:3 of the "refiner and purifier of silver." Purification, not destruction, is the object of the judgment which is threatened! Strange that mercy should find place, after the offence of the criminal has been found so grievous l But, lest we should expect too favorable an issue, the prophet adds, in the name of Jehovah, For how shall I do ? or rather, How should I act? How otherwise should I act? The continuation is a little... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:7

The doings and doom of deceit. The verses from Jeremiah 9:2 to the text set forth its doings, and the text and remainder of the chapter foretell its doom. Note— I. DECEIT . It is a terrible indictment that the prophet brings. He affirms that deceit is: 1. Universal . Jeremiah 9:2 , "They be all ," etc. Jeremiah 9:6 , "Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit;" i . e . it is everywhere, all around you. That: 2. It has broken up the most sacred... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 9:4-6

Jeremiah 9:4-6. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour Or, of his friend, as רעהו rather signifies; of him who pretends friendship to him, or whom he has befriended. And trust ye not in a brother Against whom you must stand as much upon your guard as if you were dealing with a stranger. For every brother will utterly supplant Will deceive, overreach, and take all possible advantage of his nearest relation; and every neighbour Or friend, rather, as before; will walk with slanders... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 9:7-8

Jeremiah 9:7-8. Behold, I will melt them and try them I will cast them into the furnace of affliction, that I may purify them from their dross. See note on Jeremiah 6:29-30, and on Isaiah 1:25. For how shall I do, &c. I have tried all other means, and they have proved ineffectual. Their tongue is as an arrow, &c. It was compared to a bow bent, Jeremiah 9:3, plotting and preparing mischief; here it is an arrow shot out, putting in execution what they had projected. Dr.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 9:1-22

Mourning for Judah (8:18-9:22)The prophet is overcome with grief as he foresees the tragic end of the nation. The people wonder why God their King does not save them. God replies that it is because of their idolatry. They now realize that they can no longer expect his salvation (18-20). Nothing can heal Judah’s spiritual sickness now; the end has come. And nothing can heal the wounds of grief in Jeremiah’s heart as he sees his people suffer (21-22).Jeremiah is unable to express the extent of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 9:7

"Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people? Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor, but in his heart he layeth wait for him. Shall I not visit them for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?""Shall I not ... shall not my soul ..." (Jeremiah 9:9)? The very raising of such questions, "Points up the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 9:6

Jeremiah 9:6. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit— Houbigant follows the LXX, and renders the verse, They add usury to usury, and deceit to deceit, they refuse, &c. The experimental knowledge of God, which is true religion, is incompatible with the practice of any wickedness; and therefore it is natural enough for those, who are resolved at all events to abide in their evil courses, to divest themselves of all religious principles, which if insufficient to restrain, will be sure at... read more
