Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:3-31

; Jeremiah 5:1-31; Jeremiah 6:1-30CHAPTER IVTHE SCYTHIANS AS THE SCOURGE OF GODJeremiah 4:3 - Jeremiah 6:30IF we would understand what is written here and elsewhere in the pages of prophecy, two things would seem to be requisite. We must prepare ourselves with some knowledge of the circumstances of the time, and we must form some general conception of the ideas and aims of the inspired writer, both in themselves, and in their relation to passing events. Of the former, a partial and fragmentary... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

CHAPTER 4 1. True repentance and what it means (Jeremiah 4:1-4 ) 2. The alarm sounded: judgment comes (Jeremiah 4:5-13 ) 3. The doom of the rebellious people (Jeremiah 4:14-22 ) 4. The desolation of Israel’s land through judgment (Jeremiah 4:23-31 ) Jeremiah 4:1-4 . A return must be a return unto Him, Jehovah; anything less is insufficient. Their abominations must be judged and put away. Every return of backsliders must be in the same way--a true return to the Lord with confession of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:1-31

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 4:1-31

The Pleadings of God Jeremiah 4:0 The people had just said they would return, for they were tired of their evil ways. They had been looking to the hills for salvation, and no salvation came; they had turned their eyes to the multitude of mountains, and found them to be utterly barren of hope. The Lord had told them this, and they had confirmed it by much experience of a painful kind. The people said: "We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 4:11-18

Under those strong images, of a dry wind and a full wind, and a whirlwind, are set forth the judgments of the Lord. But under all, I pray the Reader to observe, how the Lord fully proves, that the evil is in his people, the remedy is in the Lord. Hosea 13:9 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:5-18

5-18 The fierce conqueror of the neighbouring nations was to make Judah desolate. The prophet was afflicted to see the people lulled into security by false prophets. The approach of the enemy is described. Some attention was paid in Jerusalem to outward reformation; but it was necessary that their hearts should be washed, in the exercise of true repentance and faith, from the love and pollution of sin. When lesser calamities do not rouse sinners and reform nations, sentence will be given... read more

Description of The Judgment under three Emblems v. 5. Declare ye in Judah, announcing it, making it known widely, and publish in Jerusalem and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land, as a signal calling the inhabitants to arms; cry, gather together, and say, rather, "cry fully," that is, with a loud voice, shouting. Assemble yourselves and let us go into the defensed cities, into their strongest fortresses. v. 6. Set up the standard toward Zion, raising their banners as a signal to make the... read more

THE CALL TO RETURN IN THE PRESENTJeremiah 4:1-41 If thou returnest, O Israel, saith Jehovah,Return unto Me.And if thou puttest away thine abominations out of my sight,Then waver not,12 But swear ‘As Jehovah liveth!’In truth and justice and righteousness,So that the nations bless themselves in him,2And boast of him.3 For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and Jerusalem,Break up your fallow-ground3And sow not among thorns.4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,And take away... read more
