Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 5:20-31

Yahweh’s warning to His complacent people 5:20-31There were three aspects to Judah’s failure: the people’s perversity (Jeremiah 5:20-25), their injustice (Jeremiah 5:26-29), and their leaders (Jeremiah 5:30-31). [Note: Craigie, p. 95.] "Jeremiah rebukes the Judeans as a whole for their utter stupidity and lack of moral discernment. They have flaunted the covenant stipulations, and many ruthless individuals have prospered at the expense of the down-trodden." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . .,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 5:26-27

Many of the Judahites had wickedly tricked their neighbors and had accumulated wealth by deceiving them. They had put their fellow Israelites in their debt, robbed them of their freedom, and so caged them like birds (cf. Habakkuk 2:6; Habakkuk 2:8; Mark 10:19; 1 Thessalonians 4:6; Titus 2:10)."Birds were snared with a net; men closed the net with cords when a bird came into it. Then the birds were put into a basket (. . . Micah 7:2)." [Note: Graybill, p. 664.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 5:28

These social bullies had grown fat (wealthy, cf. Deuteronomy 32:15; Psalms 92:14; Proverbs 28:2; Proverbs 28:24) at the expense of their neighbors, so expert had they become in wickedness. Instead of giving special help to the needy among them, they had withheld assistance so they could keep their money for themselves. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 5:28

(28) They overpass the deeds of the wicked.—Better (the English being ambiguous), they exceed in deeds (literally, words or things) of wickedness. The prophet dwells not only on the prosperity of the wicked, but on their callous indifference to the well-being of the poor.Yet they prosper.—Better, so that they (the fatherless) may prosper. They do not judge with a view to that result. The words admit, however, in Hebrew as in English, of the sense that they (the wicked themselves) may prosper.... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 5:1-31

Jeremiah 5:1 To feel and to bring out the force of this verse stress must be laid upon the word man. The text tells us what a man is; how rare a man is; how valuable a man is. I. The man that is to be sought out according to the direction in this verse is a person that executeth judgment, and that seeketh the truth. A man, then, is first of all one that does what is light and just from principle, uniformly, and towards all. Further, a man is one who not only does what is right, but he has in... read more

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

The horrible thing (Jeremiah 5:30-31 ) Jeremiah 5:1-9 .
