エレミヤ書 21:6 JC

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 21:1-10

1-10 When the siege had begun, Zedekiah sent to ask of Jeremiah respecting the event. In times of distress and danger, men often seek those to counsel and pray for them, whom, at other times, they despise and oppose; but they only seek deliverance from punishment. When professors continue in disobedience, presuming upon outward privileges, let them be told that the Lord will prosper his open enemies against them. As the king and his princes would not surrender, the people are exhorted to do so.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 21:1-7

Zedekiah's Question and its Answer v. 1. The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur, the son of Melchiah, not the same Pashur who was mentioned in the last chapter, but the man listed with other prominent men of the kingdom in 38:1, and Zephanlah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, v. 2. Enquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for us, to find out what attitude Jehovah would take, and whether they could count on His assistance on the basis of a... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 21:1-7

8. THE EIGHTH DISCOURSE (Against the Wicked Shepherds)(Chaps. 21–24)In designating this portion of the book a discourse we do so only a potiori. For neither is it purely of the nature of a discourse, nor does it form one discourse, i. e., a connected rhetorical whole. The different portions of it, partly of historical, partly of rhetorical character, and pertaining to very different epochs, are however comprised under a common title, such as in Jeremiah is usually prefixed to the greater... read more

Christian, fear not or be dismayed when enemies plot... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 21:1-14

The final series before the fall of Jerusalem consists of messages delivered to Zedekiah (21-27). The occasion of these was, in the first place, Zedekiah's deputation to the prophet. The scourge which Jeremiah had foretold seemed to be imminent. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, was approaching. Zedekiah sent to inquire whether he might hope for the interference and deliverance of Jehovah. There was no halting or uncertainty in the answer which the prophet gave to the messengers. He first... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 21:1-10

Zedekiah Appeals To Jeremiah As A Last Resort, Only To Learn That There Is No Hope Of Intervention By YHWH Whose Will Is Being Done (Jeremiah 21:1-10 ). As we have seen these verses form an inclusio along with Jeremiah 24:1-10 in order to emphasise that this subsection concludes the Section of Jeremiah which contains his general prophecies with a guarantee of their fulfilment. Zedekiah is the last of the royal house of David (even if he was Nebuchadrezzar’s appointee) who will reign in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 21:1-14

Subsection 7). Words Concerning Various Kings (Jeremiah 21:1 to Jeremiah 24:10 ). This subsection proceeds in logical sequence although not chronologically, and will centre on three special themes, firstly on the fact that all hope for Judah in the short term has now gone, secondly that the promises of the false prophets suggesting that any of the current sons of David will be restored to the throne are invalid, and thirdly that while final blessing ‘in coming days’ will truly be at the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 21:1-10

Jeremiah 21:1-2 Samuel : . The Outcome of the Siege (588 B.C.).— Zedekiah, apparently at an early stage of the siege of Jerusalem (whilst Jeremiah 37:3-2 Samuel : refers to a similar, but later, incident) sends envoys, Pashhur (not the same as in Jeremiah 20:1) and Zephaniah ( Jeremiah 29:25, Jeremiah 37:3, Jeremiah 52:24), to ask the prophet if Yahweh will cause the besiegers to withdraw (“ go up” , Jeremiah 34:21). Jeremiah replies that Yahweh is against Jerusalem, and will deliver king and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 21:6

Still God proclaimeth himself this people’s enemy. Pestilences are but the usual consequents of long sieges, through the scantness and unwholesomeness of food; but God is the first cause of such sore judgments, though there be other second causes. The murrain of beasts bears proportion to the pestilence amongst men, and the beasts are threatened as well as men, not because of any sin in them, but because men are punished in them, they being part of their substance; and this is a part of that... read more
