耶利米书 20:3 CUVS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-18

CHAPTER XIIIJEREMIAH UNDER PERSECUTIONJeremiah 20:1-18THE prophet has now to endure something more than a scornful rejection of his message. "And Pashchur ben Immer the priest" (he was chief officer in the house of Iahvah) "heard Jeremiah prophesying these words. And Pashchur smote Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks, which were in the upper gate of Benjamin in the house of Iahvah." Like the priest of Bethel, who abruptly put an end to the preaching of Amos in the royal sanctuary,... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 20:1-18

CHAPTER 20 Pashur.-Jeremiah’s Perplexity and Complaint 1. Pashur and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 20:1-6 ) 2. Jeremiah’s great perplexity and complaint (Jeremiah 20:7-18 ) Jeremiah 20:1-6 . A great scene now follows the message in connection with the broken bottle. The great Pashur, the chief governor in the house of the LORD had heard of the message. He smites Jeremiah and puts him in the stocks, which must have been some form of cruel torture by which the victim was rendered helpless, besides... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-18

“ IN THE SWELLING OF JORDAN ” God told the prophet worse was to come. The Swelling of Jordan would be experienced later, and in the present lesson, especially towards the close, we have an illustration of it. There are things of interest to look at in the meantime, for example, an illustration of that symbolic teaching mentioned earlier. In chapter 13 we have what two symbols? See Jeremiah 13:1-11 for the first and Jeremiah 13:12-14 for the second. The prophet acted these out before the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 20:1-18

Pathetic Experiences Jer 20:10-18 In these verses we have two distinct aspects of human experience. Even supposing, as some critics do, that there is some dislocation as to their exact sequence, still we have a disparity which we ourselves can attest as being real and not imaginary. Within this brief section Jeremiah is on the hill-top and in the deepest valley of spiritual dejection. It may be that Jer 20:14 and onward should have come in connection with the previous paragraph, should have... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 20:3-6

Observe, what holy and becoming boldness in the man of God. Observe what an awful judgment Pashur is doomed to suffer. Magor-missabib, means, being encompassed with fear round about, as a girdle. It is worthy remark, that Jeremiah did not prophesy this of Pashur, when under the punishment, but after he was delivered from it. Probably, the Prophet did not receive from the Lord until then, authority so to do. It is always blessed to wait the Lord's time, for executing the Lord's purposes. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:3

Phassur. This name signifies, increase and principality; and therefore is here changed to Magor-Missabib, or "fear on every side," to denote the evils that should come upon him in punishment of his opposing the word of God. (Challoner) --- Aquila renders Posseur, "a stranger," and St. Jerome, "blackness of visage." (Haydock) --- It may also mean, "one who causes paleness." (Calmet) --- Mogur may signify "fear or distress." Septuagint and Syriac, "an exile." (Haydock) --- He deserved to be... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 20:1-6

1-6 Pashur smote Jeremiah, and put him in the stocks. Jeremiah was silent till God put a word into his mouth. To confirm this, Pashur has a name given him, "Fear on every side." It speaks a man not only in distress, but in despair; not only in danger, but in fear on every side. The wicked are in great fear where no fear is, for God can make the most daring sinner a terror to himself. And those who will not hear of their faults from God's prophets, shall be made to hear them from their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 20:1-6

v. 1. Now, Pashur, the son of Immer, the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, the highest commander of the Temple-watch, who was superior even to the captains of the individual orders in charge of the Temple in the course of their service, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. v. 2. Then Pashur, by virtue of the police- and judicial power vested in him, which he believed he must exercise in this instance, smote Jeremiah, the prophet, whose office is here... read more

2. THE OPPOSITION AND PUNISHMENT OF PASHURJeremiah 19:14 to Jeremiah 20:614Then came Jeremiah [back] from Tophet, whither the Lord [Jehovah] had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s [Jehovah’s] house; and 15said to all the people, Thus saith the Lord of hosts [Jehovah Zebaoth], the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my... read more
