Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 46:1-28

Religious Judgments Jer 46:17 This is not a sneer. If it were a sneer it would not be worth quotation. No mere sneer can live long, or be of any true weight and influence in human judgments and human progress. There are no contemptuous remarks in all literature, so far as we can discover, equal to the contemptuous criticisms that are to be found in Holy Scripture. Go to the Bible for specimens of contempt go to the Bible for everything. There is only one Book. It has been broken up into many... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 46:13-26

If the Reader will compare scripture with scripture, which is always the most profitable way of reading the word of God; he will find, that what Jeremiah is here engaged in, Isaiah had been before him, and Ezekiel had no less the same commission. Isaiah 66:14 ; Ezekiel 30:0 ; Ezekiel 39:0 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:13-28

13-28 Those who encroached on others, shall now be themselves encroached on. Egypt is now like a very fair heifer, not accustomed to the yoke of subjection; but destruction comes out of the north: the Chaldeans shall come. Comfort and peace are spoken to the Israel of God, designed to encourage them when the judgments of God were abroad among the nations. He will be with them, and only correct them in measure; and will not punish them with everlasting destruction from his presence. read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 46:1-28

The third and last section of the division containing the account of the prophet's ministry is occupied with his messages concerning the nations. The first of these has to do with Egypt, and consists of two prophecies. The earlier one described the army of Egypt in its preparation and advance, and declared that this proud preparation of Egypt for battle was but the coming of the day of Jehovah's vengeance against Egypt. In general terms he predicted her doom, declaring that there would be no... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:13-26

B). Oracle Concerning Nebuchadrezzar’s Later Penetration Into Egypt Which Will Not However Be Terminal (Jeremiah 46:13-26 ). This prophecy here has in mind a much later excursion of Nebuchadrezzar against Egypt (568/7 BC), no doubt angered by Egypt’s constant interference in Palestine. It was not so much a full-scale invasion, as a massive punitive expedition, and it is confirmed by a fragmentary Babylonian inscription. Nebuchadrezzar threatened the Egyptian border a number of times. He had... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:1-28

Jeremiah 46-51. The Foreign Prophecies.— These form the third principal division of the Book of Jeremiah. As already seen ( Jeremiah 1:5; Jeremiah 1:10, Jeremiah 25:15), Jeremiah’ s prophetic horizon naturally included the surrounding nations; how far the prophecies that follow are his can be decided only by detailed criticism in each case. They refer, though in somewhat different order, to the several nations enumerated in Jeremiah 25:19-Ezekiel : (which may be regarded as an introduction to... read more
