エレミヤ書 6:6 JCB

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:5-30

Jeremiah’s Fourth Prophecy (or Group of Prophecies). God’s Judgment upon the UnrepentantWhen the check which Josiah’s personal character and influence put upon idolatry was removed, Jeremiah foresaw that the condition of the nation would become well-nigh desperate. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 6:6

(6) Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount.—The words describe graphically the process of an Eastern siege as seen in the Assyrian bas-reliefs (Layard, Mon. of Nineveh, i. 73-76). Compare 2 Samuel 20:15; Job 19:12; Isaiah 29:3; Ezekiel 4:2. First the neighbouring country is cleared by cutting down the trees; next, either by piling earth on these as a timber framework, or using the earth alone, a “mount” (or, in later English, a mound) was raised till it reached the level of the wall of the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 6:1-30

Old Paths (Thoughts for the New Year) Jeremiah 6:16 'Ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.' Our Blessed Saviour knows that we want rest; His beautiful call comes right across the ocean of trouble, the oft-repeated call, 'Come to Me, come to Me, and I will give you rest'. It is what you most want rest. So many people deviate from the old paths and try to get rest. Just look round about and see the number of religions there are... read more

; 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 6:1-30

CHAPTER 6 1. The call to the children of Benjamin (Jeremiah 6:1-8 ) 2. Corruption and the deserved judgment (Jeremiah 6:9-26 ) 3. The prophet addressed (Jeremiah 6:27-30 ) Jeremiah 6:1-8 . The children of Benjamin are exhorted to flee for safety on account of the evil from the north. There were probably among the Benjamites God-fearing men. Those who heeded the call fled and escaped. It is a warning message which follows: “Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, let my soul depart from thee;... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 6:1-30

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 6:2-9

I venture to think, that if we read these verses with an eye to the Church in Jesus, they will be found very interesting. Who is the speaker here, that likens Zion to a comely and delicate woman? May it not be Jesus? And doth not Jesus frequently do so? See Song of Solomon 2:2; Song of Solomon 2:2 ; Ezekiel 16:14 . The afflictions and exercises, which are threatened, are all suited to the Church. Hosea 2:0 throughout. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:1-8

1-8 Whatever methods are used, it is vain to contend with God's judgments. The more we indulge in the pleasures of this life, the more we unfit ourselves for the troubles of this life. The Chaldean army shall break in upon the land of Judah, and in a little time devour all. The day is coming, when those careless and secure in sinful ways will be visited. It is folly to trifle when we have eternal salvation to work out, and the enemies of that salvation to fight against. But they were thus... read more

The Advice to Flee from Jerusalem v. 1. O ye children of Benjamin, here addressed particularly because Jerusalem was situated on the border of their territory and because Jeremiah wanted to appeal especially to the members of his own tribe in the capital city, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, to escape the impending doom, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, the birthplace of the prophet Amos, south of Jerusalem, the signal being intended to call the people together for... read more
