John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:11

Verse 11 Here the Prophet mentions the restriction of which I have spoken, and thus he mitigates the severity of their punishment. It is, then, a kind of correction; not that he changes anything, but only by this sort of correction he explains what he before meant by perpetual desolations. He says, The whole land shall be a waste and an astonishment, or as some render it, “a desolation.” The word שמם, indeed, means to lay desolate, and also to astonish; but as he had lately used the word in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:1-7

A melancholy review of twenty-three years of work. I. THE CHARACTER OF THE WORKER . A three and twenty years' experience furnishes a good test of character. So long a time is quite sufficient to eliminate the accidents of passion and temporary enthusiasm, and to bring to light the general principles of a man's conduct. These constitute his character; they reveal the true features of him. We should not judge a man by his latest action, perhaps a hasty and quite uncharacteristic... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:1-7

Messages recapitulated. I. CAREFUL REMINDER OF THE EXTENT OF HIS MINISTRY . ( Jeremiah 25:1-3 .) 1. The moral value of this is great . It is no vague indictment, but one made out with all accuracy and conscientiousness. We ought to take note of the extent of our privileges and opportunities, for we shall have to give an exact account of them all. 2. Its evidential value is equally great . The date of the prediction is thus fixed, and history becomes a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:1-7

A twenty-three years' ministry. Here we get a statement, brief but not at all uncertain, of what had been done in the prophetic way during twenty-three years. Three parties are concerned in this statement: I. GOD . Nebuchadnezzar, who is to act as the servant of God ( Jeremiah 25:9 ) in the great overthrowing work, has just come to his throne, and is unconsciously preparing for that to which God had appointed him. Hence it was fitting that, just at this crisis, God should point... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:4-5

(Comp. Jeremiah 7:25 ; Jeremiah 11:7 ; Jeremiah 35:15 .) They said ; literally, saying. The prophet mentally resumes the statement of Jeremiah 25:4 . He hath sent his servants the prophets." Turn ye; rather, return ye, conversion being the return of the sinner to his natural home. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:5-6

The chief purpose of prophecy. Jeremiah here sums up the general purpose not only of his own mission—extending now over twenty-three years—but of that of the whole series of Hebrew prophets. We may thus see the one great aim towards which all their labors were directed. I. PROPHECY IS PRACTICAL . Jeremiah's summary takes the form of an exhortation. The prophets were preachers, not philosophers. Their aim was not to satisfy curiosity but to affect conduct. In this they are an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:7-11

Judgment plainly declared. The agents of the visitation are more precisely defined than hitherto, and the leader of the invasion is actually named. The extent also of the region to be devastated, and the time the captivity is to last, viz. seventy years, are set forth. I. THIS TENDED TO HEIGHTEN THE MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE PEOPLE . A vague indefinite calamity or series of calamities would have failed to strike deeply enough into the conscience of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:9

The families of the north (comp. Jeremiah 1:15 , note). And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. This is the rendering of the Targum, the Syriac, and the Vulgate, and corresponds with the reading of a few extant manuscripts. The received text, however, reads, "and unto Nebuchadnezzar," etc. Neither reading is satisfactory. The latter one is intolerably harsh; the former makes Nebuchadnezzar a mere adjunct of the tribes of the north. In the other passages, moreover, where this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:9

Nebuchadnezzar … my servant. A strange expression! It is not found in many manuscripts and versions. But it is more likely that dull officious scribes should erase such an "improper" phrase than that any should insert it in the manuscripts and Targum where it is preserved. We cannot suppose that Nebuchadnezzar is called God's servant in consideration of any characteristics of his later career, such as the repentant state following his insanity recorded in the Book of Daniel ( Daniel... read more
