Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 6:7

The residents had an unusual ability to keep wickedness as fresh as wells kept water fresh (cf. Proverbs 4:16). Wicked violence and destruction had resulted in all kinds of sickness and wounds. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 6:7

(7) As a fountain casteth out her waters.—The English is plain enough, but the Hebrew presents two difficulties: (1) The word rendered “fountain” (better, cistern) is not spelt with the usual vowels, and the etymology of the verb is quite uncertain. It has been rendered, As a cistern “gathers” or “keeps in,” or “keeps its waters cool,” or “lets them flow.” The general meaning is probably given by the Authorised Version. Jerusalem was literally “overflowing” with wickedness.Grief.—Better,... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 6:1-30

Old Paths (Thoughts for the New Year) Jeremiah 6:16 'Ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.' Our Blessed Saviour knows that we want rest; His beautiful call comes right across the ocean of trouble, the oft-repeated call, 'Come to Me, come to Me, and I will give you rest'. It is what you most want rest. So many people deviate from the old paths and try to get rest. Just look round about and see the number of religions there are... 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 6 1. The call to the children of Benjamin (Jeremiah 6:1-8 ) 2. Corruption and the deserved judgment (Jeremiah 6:9-26 ) 3. The prophet addressed (Jeremiah 6:27-30 ) Jeremiah 6:1-8 . The children of Benjamin are exhorted to flee for safety on account of the evil from the north. There were probably among the Benjamites God-fearing men. Those who heeded the call fled and escaped.

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 6:1-30

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 6:2-9

I venture to think, that if we read these verses with an eye to the Church in Jesus, they will be found very interesting. Who is the speaker here, that likens Zion to a comely and delicate woman? May it not be Jesus? And doth not Jesus frequently do so? See Song of Solomon 2:2; Song of Solomon 2:2 ; Ezekiel 16:14 . The afflictions and exercises, which are threatened, are all suited to the Church. Hosea 2:0 throughout. read more
