エレミヤ書 21:8 JCB

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 21:1-14

CHAPTER 21 The Prophetic Warning 1. Zedekiah’s inquiry (Jeremiah 21:1-2 ) 2. Jehovah’s answer through Jeremiah (Jeremiah 21:3-14 ) Jeremiah 21:1-2 . It has been said that this chapter is historically misplaced and therefore must be considered an evidence of the composite authorship of this book. The Spirit of God for some reason unknown to us has put it in this place. Zedekiah sent unto Jeremiah Pashur (a different one from the Pashur in the preceding chapter) to inquire as to... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 21:1-14

MESSAGES IN ZEDEKIAH ’S REIGN These chapters furnish a convenient unit, as they are apparently a group of discourses delivered in Zedekiah’s reign the king of the captivity period. The first, and one of the most interesting, is that concerning the siege (chap. 21). Note the occasion (Jeremiah 21:1-2 ) and observe that Pashur was not he of the last lesson. The siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar had begun and the king of Judah hoped the prophet would have some encouraging word from God for... read more

Matthew Henry

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

And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death, putting it up to their own choice and laying the responsibility of their decision upon them. v. 9.

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
