James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

MESSAGES IN JEHOIAKIM ’S REIGN Having just considered discourses in Zedekiah’s reign, and now returning to that of Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 25:1 ), it can be seen that the chapters are not arranged chronologically. The first message is that of the seventy years captivity. We are familiar with that period as Judah’s forced stay in Babylon, and it is interesting to see the place where it was definitely predicted (Jeremiah 25:11-12 ). Note what leads up to the prediction, God’s patience and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 26:16-24

I pray the Reader to observe with me, who were the enemies of faithful Jeremiah: namely, the unfaithful priests. Oh! what a reproach is it to any age, and to every age of the Church, that the Redeemer should be wounded in the house of his friends, and that those, who profess his name, should be the first to persecute his people. Reader! do not overlook, that Jeremiah was not singular in his services. Micah in his days, and Urijah in his, were both brought into danger, for being found faithful.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 26:16-24

16-24 When secure sinners are threatened with taking away the Spirit of God, and the kingdom of God, it is what is warranted from the word of God. Hezekiah who protected Micah, prospered. Did Jehoiakim, who slew Urijah, prosper? The examples of bad men, and the bad consequences of their sins, should deter from what is evil. Urijah was faithful in delivering his message, but faulty in leaving his work. And the Lord was pleased to permit him to lose his life, while Jeremiah was protected in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 26:12-24

Jeremiah's Defense and Deliverance v. 12. Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, rather, "to" or "concerning this house and this city"; for Jeremiah purposely avoided any expression which might cause irritation, all the words that ye have heard. He was not giving his own personal opinion or voicing any spite which he might have felt, but he had only done his duty. v. 13. Therefore, now... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 26:1-24

B. The Three Historical AppendicesThe Prophet Of The Lord And The False ProphetsJeremiah 26-29It has been already shown in the introduction to the ninth discourse that these chapters stand here together, because their common topic is the conflict of the true prophet with the false prophets. Their position just here, however, is occasioned by the close historical connection of chh. 27, 28, with Jeremiah 25:0. There is thus a double connection, (1) that of chh. 27, 28, with Jeremiah 25:0 (Cup of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 26:1-24

Once again Jeremiah repeated a previous message, one delivered yet earlier, "in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim." He had then been instructed to stand in the court of the Lord's house, and deliver his message in order to give an opportunity to the people to turn. The message itself warned them against refusing to hearken, and told of their persistent refusal and of the consequent judgment decided against them. The message excited the hostility of the priests, prophets, and people.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 26:1-24

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). Whilst the first twenty five chapters of Jeremiah have mainly been a record of his general prophecies, mostly given during the reigns of Josiah and Jehoiakim, and have been in the first person, this second section of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5) is in the third person, includes a great deal of material about the problems that Jeremiah faced during his ministry and provides information about the opposition that he continually... read more
