James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 9:1-26

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 9:1-26

Accusations and Penalties Jeremiah 8-9 These chapters are full of accusation. The point is, that the accusation was not directed against heathen nations; it is hurled against the chosen of God. There is a certain kind of accusation in which there is comfort. Where the indictment is severe, it is evident that the expectation has been high, and God never expects much except where he has sown much. Therefore it may come to pass that the very gravity and poignancy of the accusation may be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 9:1-6

How blessed is it to behold faithful ministers, who enter into a deep concern for their people. What a beautiful portrait is here undesignedly drawn of Jeremiah. How endeared is that servant of the Lord, or ought to be, who takes part in all that concerns Zion. But Reader! while looking at the servant, let us not overlook the Master. Yea, blessed Jesus! doth not my meditation take wing and behold thee in thine unequalled sorrow over Jerusalem? Luke 13:34 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 9:1-11

1-11 Jeremiah wept much, yet wished he could weep more, that he might rouse the people to a due sense of the hand of God. But even the desert, without communion with God, through Christ Jesus, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, must be a place for temptation and evil; while, with these blessings, we may live in holiness in crowded cities. The people accustomed their tongues to lies. So false were they, that a brother could not be trusted. In trading and bargaining they said any thing for... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 9:1-9

The Deceit of the People v. 1. Oh, that my head were waters, an inexhaustible reservoir, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, flowing in an endless stream, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people, those who have become victims of their own foolishness in transgressing the Law of the Lord. Although the apostate Jews had fully deserved the punishment which came upon them, the prophet was still filled with deep compassion for them. At the same time his feeling... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 9:1-8

III. THIRD CHARGE: THE GENERAL ENTIRE ABSENCE OF TRUTH AND FAITHJeremiah 9:1-211. Description of the prevailing deceitJeremiah 9:1-81 O that I had1 in the desert a travellers’ lodge,That I might leave my people and go from them:For they are all adulterers, a gang of knaves,2 And bend2 their tongue as their bow of deceit;And not by truth do they prevail in the land,But proceed from wickedness to wickedness:But Me they knew not, saith Jehovah.3 Guard ye every one against his... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 9:1-16

National Perversity Jeremiah 9:1-16 Jeremiah 9:1-6 Once the voice of joy and thanksgiving had been heard in Jerusalem, but now on every side there was bloodshed, and the patriot-prophet could only weep incessantly over the slain. A lodge in the wilderness seemed preferable to the most luxurious mansion in the city. Solitude would be better than association with the ungodly perpetrators of such crimes. Yet we must not go out of the fray so long as our Captain wants us to remain in it, in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 9:1-26

In answer to his own question, Jeremiah sighed for some adequate means of expressing the anguish of his heart, and then for escape to some lonely place in the wilderness. All this was in the nature of complaint against God, for he revealed most carefully how conscious he was of the sin of his people, describing it in terrible detail. To this cry of His servant Jehovah replied in a fivefold declaration. First, that He had no choice but to afflict because of their sin; He next affirmed His own... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 9:1-11

Jeremiah’s/YHWH’s Heart Cry At What Is To Happen To His People Because They Have Refused To Know YHWH And Are So Filled With Deceit And Falsehood (Jeremiah 8:18 to Jeremiah 9:11 ). There are two ways of seeing this passage depending on whether we see YHWH as speaking throughout, or on whether we see Jeremiah as intermingling his own comments with those of YHWH. It is, for example, possible to see Jeremiah 8:18-19 a (and a number of the other verses) as being the words of Jeremiah, with on... read more
