The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-10

The mighty pleadings of God, These verses contain record of what we may fitly term a Divine wrestling with his sinful people to induce them to abandon their wickedness and live, so intense and urgent are the motives which he brings to bear upon them. Note— I. FOR WHAT GOD PLEADS . "That they should execute righteousness and judgment ." It is the King Jehoiakim who is addressed specially, a monarch one of the worst who filled the throne of David. "He remained fixed in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-23

Truth-speaking under difficulties. The prophet is commanded to go down to the king's palace and deliver his prophecies in the royal audience. His mission did not admit of time-serving or evasive utterance. Like that prophet who said to David, "Thou art the man," he had to speak to the king face to face and with great plainness. I. GOD 'S CHILDREN ARE OFTEN CALLED UPON TO WITNESS TO HIM IN DIFFICULT PLACES . In king's courts; in society; in unbelieving homes;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:5-14

Building in unrighteousness. The building of a house, be it small or great, is always an interesting and suggestive process. It is a lengthened operation, expensive, and representing a great part of a man's aims and efforts. Various purposes may be sought in it according to the character, circumstances, etc; of the builder—mere shelter, comfort, splendor, protection. As these come into view the object in which they are to be realized becomes representative of the living personality and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:6

Unto the king's house of Judah ; rather, concerning the house of the King of Judah ; i.e. the royal palace, which, on account of its height and its being constructed so largely out of cedar-weed (comp. Jeremiah 22:14 , Jeremiah 22:23 ), is called "Gilead, and the summit of Lebanon," just as Solomon's palace was called "the house of the forest of Lebanon" ( 1 Kings 7:2 ). Of Gilead in general, Canon Tristram writes, "No one can fairly judge of Israel's heritage who has not seen the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:8-9

On visiting the ruins of a city. What a picture we have here! Many nations passing by on the high-road between Egypt and the East struck with amazement at the ruins of Jerusalem. Is not the sight of a city in ruins always a source of pathetic interest? As we wander about the silent streets of Pompeii the stillness of death is appalling by contrast with the tumult of pleasure and commerce which formerly thronged those once busy thoroughfares. Such a melancholy spectacle muses thought and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:8-9

Monumental judgments. I. EXCEPTIONAL PENALTIES WILL ATTEND THE ABUSE OF EXCEPTIONAL PRIVILEGES . 1. As a measure justice . The position attained by Jerusalem was due not so much to its site as to its being the center of a theocracy. The foundation of its prosperity was a spiritual one. It was God's elective favor which had lifted it up above the cities of the earth. Presuming upon this, the first laws of righteousness had been violated and the whole conditions... read more
