耶利米书 7:29 CUNPSS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

; Jeremiah 8:1-22; Jeremiah 9:1-26; Jeremiah 10:1-25; Jeremiah 26:1-24In the four chapters which we are now to consider we have what is plainly a finished whole. The only possible exception {Jeremiah 10:1-16} shall be considered in its place. The historical occasion of the introductory prophecy, {Jeremiah 7:1-15} and the immediate effect of its delivery, are recorded at length in the twenty-sixth chapter of the book, so that in this instance we are happily not left to the uncertainties of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

The Prophet’s Temple Address (7-9) CHAPTER 7 1. Amend your ways and your doings (Jeremiah 7:1-15 ) 2. No prayer-answer to be expected (Jeremiah 7:16-20 ) 3. Sacrifices rejected; Obedience demanded (Jeremiah 7:21-28 ) 4. Jerusalem’s rejection (Jeremiah 7:29-34 ) Jeremiah 7:1-15 . We call this next address of the prophet “the temple address,” because he was commanded to stand in the gate of the LORD’s house. There he stood, a solitary figure, and said: “Hear the Word of the LORD, all ye... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 7:29

7:29 Cut off thy {o} hair, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his {p} wrath.(o) In sign of mourning, as in Job 1:20 .(p) Against whom he had just opportunity to pour out his wrath Micah 1:6 . read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Organisation and Responsibility Jer 7:10 That men are variously constituted is a fact not merely profoundly interesting to the speculative philosopher, but of the greatest practical consequence to the Christian philanthropist. While the genus, man, is founded on a common basis, the individual is marked by characteristics singular to himself. We are rooted in the same soil, yet each seems to develop according to a law of his own. We have much in common, yet are individualised by the strongest... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 7:20-30

I pause, not to interrupt the Reader in the progress of these verses, they are all to the same amount as the former. How pathetically the Prophet mourns the obstinacy of his people! Surely ministers ought to have tender feelings of compassion for the state of sinners. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:29-34

29-34 In token both of sorrow and of slavery, Jerusalem must be degraded, and separated from God, as she had been separated to him. The heart is the place in which God has chosen to put his name; but if sin has the innermost and uppermost place there, we pollute the temple of the Lord. The destruction of Jerusalem appears here very terrible. The slain shall be many; they having made it the place of their sin. Evil pursues sinners, even after death. Those who will not, by the grace of God, be... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 7:19-34

The Judgment Pronounced v. 29. Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, shearing it off as the sign of the deepest mourning, Jerusalem here being considered a virgin consecrated to the Lord, and cast it away and take up a lamentation on high places, on account of the uncleanness and desecration of her guilt; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath, the people against whom His indignation has been aroused, against whom His anger is burning. v. 30. For the children of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 7:1-34

3. THE THIRD DISCOURSEChaps. 7–10The time of this discourse may be determined pretty accurately, since Jeremiah 26:0. gives us information concerning the historical circumstances in which the discourse was delivered. We learn from it that in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim Jeremiah received from Jehovah the commission to place himself in the fore-court of the temple, and to announce to all the Jews who had come to worship (comp. Jeremiah 26:2 with Jeremiah 7:2) that if they continued to... read more
