Jeremías 26:18 RVR1960

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 26:17-19

Jeremiah 26:17-19. Then rose up certain of the elders Either the princes before mentioned, or the more intelligent men of the people, stood up, and put the assembly in mind of a former case, as is usual with us in giving judgment, the wisdom of our predecessors being a direction to us. The case referred to is that of Micah, the book of whose prophecies we have among those of the minor prophets. Was it thought strange that Jeremiah prophesied against this city and the temple? Micah did so... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

26:1-34:22 PROPHECIES OF EXILE AND RETURNThe dangerous life of a prophet (26:1-24)Again Jeremiah went to the temple, where he could preach to people who came from all over Judah to worship. He stood in the open court and urged the worshippers to give up their sinful ways and return to God (26:1-3). If they refused, the temple would be demolished, as the tabernacle had been at Shiloh several centuries earlier (4-6; see notes on 7:1-15; cf. also 19:14-20:6).Religious officials and ordinary... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 26:18

Jeremiah 26:18. Micah the Morasthite— The village of Morasthus or Maresa, was in the tribe of Judah. Micah was the author of that prophesy which we have now among the twelve minor prophets. The Jews supposed his prophesy to have been fulfilled in the utter destruction of the second temple by Titus, when Terentius razed the very foundations of the city and temple, and by that means fulfilled the prediction of our Blessed Saviour, that there should not be one stone left upon another. read more

18. ( :-). Morasthite—called so from a village of the tribe Judah. Hezekiah—The precedent in the reign of such a good king proved that Jeremiah was not the only prophet, or the first, who threatened the city and the temple without incurring death. mountain of the house—Moriah, on which stood the temple (peculiarly called "the house") shall be covered with woods instead of buildings.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 26:17-19

Some of the older men reminded those gathered that the prophet Micah had previously predicted a similar fate for Jerusalem, and King Hezekiah (715-686 B.C.) had not put him to death (cf. Micah 1:1; Micah 3:12). Hezekiah had prayed to the Lord and the Lord had relented (2 Kings 19:1; 2 Kings 19:15-19). They would be doing something wicked if they killed Jeremiah. This is the only direct citation of another prophet’s words in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament. [Note: Harrison,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 26:18

(18) Micah the Morasthite.—On the general history and work of this prophet, see Introduction to Micah. The Hebrew text gives Micaiah, the two forms being (as in Judges 17:1; Judges 17:4, compared with 5, 12), in the Hebrew interchangeable. The epithet indicated his birth in Moresheth-gath in Philistia (Micah 1:14). As Micah had prophesied under Jotham and Ahaz (Micah 1:1), the prediction here referred to must have been delivered towards the close of his ministry. The words cited are from Micah... read more
