エレミヤ書 45:4 JCB

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 45:1-5

CHAPTER VBARUCHJeremiah 45:1-5"Thy life will I give unto thee for a prey."- Jeremiah 45:5THE editors of the versions and of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament have assigned a separate chapter to this short utterance concerning Baruch; thus paying an unconscious tribute to the worth and importance of Jeremiah’s disciple and secretary, who was the first to bear the familiar Jewish name, which in its Latinised form of Benedict has been a favourite with saints and popes. Probably few who read of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 45:1-5

CHAPTER 45 This is the shortest chapter and contains a special message to Baruch, the companion and secretary of the prophet Jeremiah. It must be noticed that this did not take place in Egypt, where now the prophet and his friend sojourned, but it was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim. Baruch had just finished writing the words which Jeremiah dictated. It was no doubt a strenuous task, and when Baruch laid down his pen, the work having been finished, the Lord sent him a special message, showing... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 45:4

45:4 Thus shalt thou say to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, [that] which I have built I will {d} break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.(d) Meaning that God could destroy this people, because he had planted them. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 45:1-5

LAST MESSAGE TO THE REMNANT Chapter 40 opens with an account of Nebuchadnezzar’s kindness to Jeremiah, inspired by what he had known of the latter’s advice to his countrymen (Jeremiah 40:1-4 ). Jeremiah had been the friend of Babylon, but not necessarily the enemy of his own nation. His patriotism was unquestioned, but the highest expression of his patriotism was his counsel to Judah to obey the will of God and submit to Babylon. Jeremiah’s choice of action is in Jeremiah 40:5-6 . The new... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 45:4-5

I have often found this gracious answer of the Lord, by his servant Baruch, very profitable. Shall the children of God, while going home to their Father's house, and conscious that they are passing through a wilderness, expect velvet paths, and the easiest accommodation, by the way? Reader! in a world like this, where desolations are all around, let us bless God if we escape the storm. Amidst general shipwreck, let us consider our lot peculiarly favoured that we are not stranded, or overwhelmed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 45:1-5

Jeremiah Comforts Baruch. v. 1. The word that Jeremiah, the prophet, spake unto Baruch, the son of Neriah, his secretary and, in a sense, his fellow-worker, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, as the latter dictated his prophecies from the thirteenth year of Josiah to the fourth of Jehoiakim, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, v. 2. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch, for even the disciple of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 45:1-5

Appendix to the Prophecies Relating to the Entire TheocracyThe Promise Given To Baruch (chap. 45)While in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, according to Jeremiah 36:0., Jeremiah was dictating to his true friend and servant, Baruch, the revelations hitherto received, the latter appears to have been quite overpowered by a feeling of deep sorrow and anguish. Then Jeremiah receives a commission to address to him some words of consolation. This brief address doubtless formed the conclusion of the whole,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 45:1-5

The messages of Jeremiah to the chosen people practically ended with the last chapter. Before coming to his messages concerning the surrounding nations we have the brief story told in this chapter of the special word which he was charged to speak to Baruch when he wrote his words in a book in the fourth year of Jehoiakim. A perusal of this message makes it evident that this faithful ally of the prophet had become depressed. If this message was delivered to him in the fourth year of Jehoiakim,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 45:1-5

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of The Anguish That Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following On After The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 45:1-5

Jeremiah 45:1-Deuteronomy : . Baruch.— This prophecy concerning him is dated 604, when the first roll (“ these words” ) was written ( Jeremiah 36:1 ff.). The implied reference to personal danger might be explained by Jeremiah 36:26, if the date were a year later, or by the troubles of 586, if we disregard Jeremiah 45:1 b. Probably this formed the (fitting) close of Baruch’ s biography of the prophet. Baruch has complained that to his pain (perhaps on account of the fortunes of his people)... read more
