Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 4:22

(22) For my people is foolish.—Jehovah answers the prophet’s question. The misery comes to punish the folly and sottishness of the people. It shall last as long as they last, or till it has accomplished its work of chastisement. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Plural, Yet Singular Jeremiah 4:2 I want to speak about the plural that runs itself up into the singular. 'Truth, judgment, righteousness.' We cannot get rid of the three; when we sometimes think we are farthest from it we are closest upon it. It is a mystery that is to be reckoned with. Indifference, worldliness, folly, may avoid all these subjects, and thus run a downward and self-extinguishing course. There remains the idea of the three. We cannot, let us say again and again to ourselves,... 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

CHAPTER 4 1. True repentance and what it means (Jeremiah 4:1-4 ) 2. The alarm sounded: judgment comes (Jeremiah 4:5-13 ) 3. The doom of the rebellious people (Jeremiah 4:14-22 ) 4. The desolation of Israel’s land through judgment (Jeremiah 4:23-31 ) Jeremiah 4:1-4 . A return must be a return unto Him, Jehovah; anything less is insufficient. Their abominations must be judged and put away. Every return of backsliders must be in the same way--a true return to the Lord with confession of... read more

4:22 For my people [are] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] silly children, and they have no understanding: {s} they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.(s) Their wisdom and policy tend to their own destruction and pulls them from God. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:1-31

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 4:1-31

The Pleadings of God Jeremiah 4:0 The people had just said they would return, for they were tired of their evil ways. They had been looking to the hills for salvation, and no salvation came; they had turned their eyes to the multitude of mountains, and found them to be utterly barren of hope. The Lord had told them this, and they had confirmed it by much experience of a painful kind. The people said: "We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord... read more
