エレミヤ書 13:4 JCB

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 13:1-27

Habit Jeremiah 13:23 I. The Origin of Habit. Habit may be conceived to arise in this way. When, in the revolution of time of the day, or the week, or the month, or the year the point comes round at which we have been thinking of anything, or have done anything, by the law of the association of ideas we think of it again, or do it again. For instance, when day dawns we awake. We get out of bed because we have done it at that time before. At a later hour we take breakfast, and go away to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

CHAPTER VIIITHE FALL OF PRIDEJeremiah 13:1-27THIS discourse is a sort of appendix to the preceding; as is indicated by its abrupt and brief beginning with the words "Thus said Iahvah unto me," without the addition of any mark of time, or other determining circumstance. It predicts captivity, in retribution for the pride and ingratitude of the people; and thus suitably follows the closing section of the last address, which announces the coming deportation of Judah and her evil neighbours. The... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 13:1-27

CHAPTER 13 Signs, Warnings, and Exhortations 1. The linen girdle and the filled bottles (Jeremiah 13:1-14 ) 2. Hear and give glory (Jeremiah 13:15-21 ) 3. The justice of the judgment (Jeremiah 13:22-27 ) Jeremiah 13:1-14 . The prophet enacts a sign, that of the linen girdle. After he had put on the girdle, he was told to hide it in a hole of the rock of the Euphrates. After many days, he was commanded to dig for the girdle. It was found marred and profitable for nothing. Was this only a... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 13:4

13:4 Take the sash that thou hast bought, which [is] upon thy loins, and arise, go to {a} Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.(a) Because this river was far from Jerusalem, it is evident that this was a vision, by which it was signified that the Jews would pass over the Euphrates to be captives in Babylon, and there for length of time would seem to be rotten, although they were joined to the Lord before as a girdle about a man. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

“ IN THE SWELLING OF JORDAN ” God told the prophet worse was to come. The Swelling of Jordan would be experienced later, and in the present lesson, especially towards the close, we have an illustration of it. There are things of interest to look at in the meantime, for example, an illustration of that symbolic teaching mentioned earlier. In chapter 13 we have what two symbols? See Jeremiah 13:1-11 for the first and Jeremiah 13:12-14 for the second. The prophet acted these out before the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 13:1-27

Jeremiah's Questions Jeremiah 13-14 The Book of Jeremiah is full of questions. They are questions indicative of bewilderment, amazement, ignorance, hopefulness; they stand often in place of that silence which is more eloquent than speech, as if the prophet would tempt the Lord himself into reply by asking questions. Thus we tempt little children, and thus we would tempt the wisest scholars with whom we come into momentary contact, and thus adoringly would we seek to lure God into audible... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-7

Jeremiah spared no pains, and thought nothing of his trouble to follow up the Lord's commissions. Euphrates was no small distance from Jerusalem: but yet we find thither the Prophet went both to carry the girdle thither and to go for it again. Some have thought, however, that this was rather a vision. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:4

Euphrates, above 150 leagues distant. Some think this was only to be done in spirit: but it is generally supposed that the prophet made this long journey twice. Bochart suggests that Euphrates (Hebrew Peratha ) may be put for Ephrata, or Bethlehem, as the first syllable is often cut off. (Calmet) --- Yet a journey to the Euphrates would represent more strikingly the destination of the people; and it would not be difficult for God to convey Jeremias thither in a short time, if requisite, as he... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:1-11

1-11 It was usual with the prophets to teach by signs. And we have the explanation, ver. Jeremiah 13:9-11. The people of Israel had been to God as this girdle. He caused them to cleave to him by the law he gave them, the prophets he sent among them, and the favours he showed them. They had by their idolatries and sins buried themselves in foreign earth, mingled among the nations, and were so corrupted that they were good for nothing. If we are proud of learning, power, and outward privileges,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 13:1-11

The Symbol of the Girdle v. 1. Thus saith the Lord unto me, in bidding the prophet perform an act of symbolic significance, Go and get thee a linen girdle, a very important article of apparel in those days, since it held the garments together and enabled a person to stride forward without hindrance, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water, thus using it and taking good care of it. v. 2. So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord and put it on my loins, wearing it for... read more
