Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 23:25-27

Jeremiah 23:25-27. I have heard what the prophets say, &c. I am perfectly acquainted with what these prophets have thought and said, though they think I take no notice of it, and so continue to act the same counterfeit part over again. Saying, I have dreamed I have had a divine vision, or have received information from God in a dream. This, it appears, the false prophets often pretended, when they had received nothing of the kind. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets? ... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Prophecies about false prophets 23:9-40Having given a true prophecy about the future, Jeremiah proceeded to announce God’s judgment on the false prophets who were misleading His people with false prophecies (cf. Jeremiah 23:1). [Note: See Leon Wood, The Prophets . . ., ch. 7: "False Prophecy in Israel," for a good discussion of this subject, or Edward J. Young, My Servants the Prophets, ch. VII: "Prophets False and True."] This section consists of six different messages that Jeremiah delivered... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 23:26-27

How long would these prophets continue to make the people forget the Lord’s Word by continually claiming that they had received some new revelation from Him in a dream?! They were really leading the people away from Him, just as their ancestors pursued Baal and forgot the Lord. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 23:27

(27) As their fathers have forgotten . . .—The two evils of open idolatry and of false claims to prophecy stood, the prophet seems to say, on the same footing. The misuse of the name of Jehovah by the false prophets was as bad as the older worship of Baal and the prophesying in his name. (Comp. Jeremiah 23:13-14.) read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 23:1-40

The Lord Our Righteousness Jeremiah 23:6 I. You must have some righteousness, or you will not be saved.

Many often say they know they are not what they should be, but 'God is merciful '. Their religion goes no further; this is the first and last of all their Christianity. This will not stand before the Bible. God is a God of... read more
