The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:13-16

The Divine long-suffering worn out. The above section brings before us, as do many other Scriptures, this very certain and very serious truth of God's patience being not only exhaustible, but exhausted. We observe— I. THE DIVINE LONG - SUFFERING IS A VERY PRECIOUS FACT . Nations, Churches, individuals have not we ourselves?—have been examples of it. What have not all of us owed to the fact that the Lord is long-suffering, and" willeth not the death of a sinner, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:13-25

Rising up early. A striking expression concerning Jehovah. In Jeremiah 7:25 it is strengthened: "Daily rising up early." It speaks to us— I. OF THE ANXIETY OF JEHOVAH FOR HIS PEOPLE . He who has important business on hand, or dear ones in trying circumstances, or great results dependent upon immediate and strenuous exertion, will show diligence in some such way. He will be unable to rest. So it is with God and his Church. Not that he can be said to fear or be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:15

I will cast you out of my sight ; viz. into a foreign land (see Deuteronomy 29:28 ). The land of Israel was in a special sense "Jehovah's land" ( Hosea 9:3 ; Le 25:23). Ephraim ; here used for the northern tribes collectively, as Isaiah 7:2 ; Hosea 4:17 ; Hosea 5:9 ; Hosea 12:1 . read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:12

Go ye unto my place in Shiloh - This argument roused the indignation of the people Jeremiah 26:8-9, Jeremiah 26:11. The ark, Jeremiah shows, had not always been at Jerusalem. The place first chosen, as the center of the nation’s worship, was Shiloh, a town to the north of Bethel, situated in the powerful tribe of Ephraim (Joshua 18:1 note). The ruin of Shiloh is ascribed Psalms 78:58-64 to the idolatry which prevailed in Israel after the death of Joshua; a similar ruin due to similar causes... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:13

Rising up early and speaking - A proverbial expression for “speaking zealously and earnestly.” It is used only by Jeremiah. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:15

The whole seed of Ephraim - i. e., the whole of the nine northern tribes. Their casting out was a plain proof that the possession of the symbols of God’s presence does not secure a Church or nation from rejection, if unworthy of its privileges. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 7:12

Jeremiah 7:12. But go ye now to Shiloh Shiloh was the place where, upon the first coming of the Israelites into Canaan, the tabernacle, in which was the ark of God’s presence, was set up; and there it continued for a long space of time, even until the days of Samuel. It was during this period that the Israelites, as a punishment of the iniquitous and scandalous lives of the priests and people, received that signal defeat from the Philistines, when the ark of God was taken, as related 1... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 7:13-15

Jeremiah 7:13-15. And now, because ye have done all these works Either the same, or as bad, or worse than Israel did when the tabernacle was at Shiloh; and particularly those mentioned Jeremiah 7:9. And I spake unto you, rising up early, &c. A metaphor taken from persons who, being diligent in their business, are wont to rise up early; as if he had said, I not only spoke to you by my prophets, but they, in my name, made all possible haste, and used all possible diligence to reclaim... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-15

7:1-20:18 THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF JUDAHJeremiah at the temple (7:1-15)This message seems to belong to the period of religious decline that followed the death of Josiah. Though Josiah had done well to restore the temple, the people developed a wrong, even superstitious, attitude towards it. They felt that it was sacred, that it belonged to God, and that therefore he would not allow any enemy to destroy it. They thought that the presence of the temple in Jerusalem guaranteed the city against... read more
