James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-30

MESSAGES IN ZEDEKIAH ’S REIGN These chapters furnish a convenient unit, as they are apparently a group of discourses delivered in Zedekiah’s reign the king of the captivity period. The first, and one of the most interesting, is that concerning the siege (chap. 21). Note the occasion (Jeremiah 21:1-2 ) and observe that Pashur was not he of the last lesson. The siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar had begun and the king of Judah hoped the prophet would have some encouraging word from God for... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 22:1-30

The Coming One Jeremiah 22:0 , Jeremiah 23:0 The particular reference is to Josiah, on the occasion of whose death Jeremiah had composed a grand and pathetic dirge. It is supposed from 2Ch 35:25 that this dirge was repeated annually in memory of Josiah's death. The injunction of the text puts an end to this annual commemoration. The weeping is forbidden in the case of Josiah, but it is ordered to continue in the case of Jehoahaz ( Jehovah sustains .) Jehoahaz was probably a name assumed by... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 22:20-28

We have here a similar prediction against Coniah: and a very awful one it is. He is to be made a captive, and to die in a foreign land, even in a land of all others he most dreaded and hated. And what sums up the finishing stroke of his misery. He is to be forsaken of the Lord. Some have thought, that as we do not read of any Coniah, among the Kings: but Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim; that the alteration of his name was to show the Lord's displeasure. See 2 Kings 24:8 . which in the margin of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:20-30

20-30 The Jewish state is described under a threefold character. Very haughty in a day of peace and safety. Very fearful on alarm of trouble. Very much cast down under pressure of trouble. Many never are ashamed of their sins till brought by them to the last extremity. The king shall close his days in bondage. Those that think themselves as signets on God's right hand, must not be secure, but fear lest they should be plucked thence. The Jewish king and his family shall be carried to Babylon. We... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 22:10-30

Prophecies Relating to Shallum, Jehoikim, and Jehoiachin v. 10. Weep ye not for the dead, so Jeremiah admonished the people of Judah, neither bemoan him, namely, Josiah, the last good king, who had stayed the doom pronounced upon the reprobate people, but weep sore for him that goeth away, whose departure in this case is truly an occasion for great sorrowing, for he shall return no more nor see his native country, being dragged into a shameful exile, from which there would be no... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:1-30

The message Jeremiah gave the deputation was not enough. He was commanded to go to the house of the king. This he did, and what he there said occupies the succeeding chapters up to and including chapter twenty-seven. Arrived at the court, he, first of all, repeated at greater length his call to repentance and warning. The way of repentance is the way of restoration. The way of disobedience is the way of destruction. He then reviewed in three movements the history of the three predecessors of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:21

THE PERILS OF PROSPERITY‘I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not My voice.’ Jeremiah 22:21 Nine centuries after Moses’ day the prophet of the broken heart utters the Divine complaint—‘I spake to thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear.’ The latest generation is linked to the earliest by the sad indictment—‘This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not My voice.’... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:1-30

Subsection 7). Words Concerning Various Kings (Jeremiah 21:1 to Jeremiah 24:10 ). This subsection proceeds in logical sequence although not chronologically, and will centre on three special themes, firstly on the fact that all hope for Judah in the short term has now gone, secondly that the promises of the false prophets suggesting that any of the current sons of David will be restored to the throne are invalid, and thirdly that while final blessing ‘in coming days’ will truly be at the... read more
