エレミヤ書 14:22 JC

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

“ 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 14:1-22

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

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 14:13-22

Faithful ministers cannot but feel grief at the conduct of false teachers, who prophecy smooth things, and prophecy deceit. Jeremiah had to encounter with many in his days, of this description and no age of the Church hath ever been free of them. But God's faithfulness is not impeached, nor lessened by the deceitfulness of men. His people are commanded to go to the word, to the law, and to the testimony, for evidences of the truth: Isaiah 8:20 . What a gracious prayer the Prophet here offers.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 14:22

REFLECTIONS READER! we cannot make a better improvement of this precious Chapter, than by following up the example the Prophet hath here left us, both in times of public calamity, and private visitation; in besieging a throne of grace upon the same ground, and pleading for mercy on the same arguments, as the Prophet here useth. Sit down and ponder over the many strong and unanswerable pleas, every poor sinner hath in this one cause of holy confidence, the name of Jehovah. The covenant purposes,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:17-22

17-22 Jeremiah acknowledged his own sins, and those of the people, but pleaded with the Lord to remember his covenant. In their distress none of the idols of the Gentiles could help them, nor could the heavens give rain of themselves. The Lord will always have a people to plead with him at his mercy-seat. He will heal every truly repenting sinner. Should he not see fit to hear our prayers on behalf of our guilty land, he will certainly bless with salvation all who confess their sins and seek... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 14:19-22

The Prophet again Intercedes v. 19. Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? so the prophet sorrowfully asks Jehovah. Hath Thy soul loathed Zion? feeling nothing but disgust for her. Why hast Thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, and there is no good, and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! Terror beset them on every hand, and there was no respite in sight. v. 20. We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers, the guilt which was... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 14:1-22

THE FIFTH DISCOURSE(Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 17:18)A fearful drought gives the prophet occasion to offer a hearty and touching intercession for his people. The twice-repeated decisive refusal of his petition, based on the revolt of the people (Jeremiah 15:10 coll. Jeremiah 3:3) compels him to take into view his own situation, rendered exceedingly dangerous in consequence of his prophetic ministry, and then also to present before the people the sad prospect, that from the present calamity which... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-22

We now come to the second division of the Book, that containing the account of the prophet's ministry. This falls into three sections: prophecies before the fall of Jerusalem (14-39), prophecies after the fall of Jerusalem (40-45), and prophecies concerning the nations (46-51). The first series of messages declares God's determination to punish (14-17). This consists of a parable (14:l-6), an account of a controversy between the prophet and Jehovah (14:7-IS), and the new charge delivered to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Section 5. The Word Concerning The Droughts: The Certainty Of Exile For Judah (Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 17:27 ). The new section is again introduced by the words ‘The word of YHWH which came to Jeremiah --’ (Jeremiah 14:1) although in slightly altered form (literally ‘that which came, the word of YHWH, to Jeremiah’). “The word concerning the droughts” gives illustrative evidence confirming that the impending judgment of Judah cannot be turned aside by any prayers or entreaties, and that... read more
