耶利米书 7:3 CUNPSS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 7:3

(3) Your ways and your doings.—“Ways,” as in Zechariah 1:6, of general habits, “doings” of separate acts.I will cause you to dwell.—The English suggests the thoughts of something new, but what Jeremiah promises is simply the continuance of the blessings they had hitherto enjoyed. I will let you dwell. read more

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

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 7:1-7

It appears by the subject of the Prophet's sermon, that the men of Judah, while destitute of vital godliness, were much taken up with the form of it: and though without the love of God in their heart, prided themselves in belonging to the temple of the Lord. Reader! they did that which men of no religion have in all ages been much disposed to do, satisfied themselves with the outside forms of religion. And this the Lord calls lying words. What an awful delusion! To be fancying ourselves... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-16

1-16 No observances, professions, or supposed revelations, will profit, if men do not amend their ways and their doings. None can claim an interest in free salvation, who allow themselves in the practice of known sin, or live in the neglect of known duty. They thought that the temple they profaned would be their protection. But all who continue in sin because grace has abounded, or that grace may abound, make Christ the minister of sin; and the cross of Christ, rightly understood, forms the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 7:1-7

God's Requirement And Promise v. 1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, the fact that he received his messages by inspiration of God being brought out time and again, saying, v. 2. Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, very likely that which led from the outer court to the Court of Israel, and proclaim there this word, where the worshiping multitudes from the entire country might hear him, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to... 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
