John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:24

I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled ,.... At the presence of God, at the tokens of his displeasure, and at his awful vengeance in the destruction of the Jews, as they are sometimes said to do, Psalm 68:8 , and all the hills moved lightly ; so Kimchi's father says the word used has the signification of lightness; though Jarchi, from Menachem, explains it, they were plucked up, and thrown out of their place; and some render it, were pulled down and destroyed, so the Targum.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:25

And I beheld, and, lo, there was no man ,.... No people dwelling in it, as the Targum; the land was without inhabitants, they were either killed with the sword, or taken and carried captive into Babylon, or fled into Egypt and other countries: and all the birds of the heavens were fled ; at the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war; at the blackness of the heavens, filled with smoke; at the barrenness of the earth, there being no seed sown; and the earth, as at the first creation,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:26

I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness ,.... Or, "I beheld, and, lo, Carmel was a wilderness"; which was a particular part of the land of Israel, and was very fertile, and abounded in pastures and fruit trees, and yet this, as the rest, became desolate as a wilderness; see Isaiah 32:15 though it may be put for the whole land, which was very fruitful; and so the Targum, "I saw, and, lo, the land of Israel, which was planted as Carmel, was turned to be as a wilderness:' ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:27

For thus hath the Lord said ,.... What follows is an explanation and confirmation of the above vision the prophet had: the whole land shall be desolate ; as he had seen; it should not be manured, ploughed, and sown, or bring forth fruit; and should be without inhabitants, at least have very few: yet I will not make a full end ; there should be some inhabitants, who, with those that should hereafter return from captivity, would repeople it, rebuild the temple, and restore it to its... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:28

For this shall the earth mourn ,.... That is, for the full end that will be made hereafter, though not now; the earth may be said to mourn when the inhabitants of it do; or when it is destroyed, and is become desolate, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, explain it; when it is uncultivated and uninhabited: and the heavens above be black ; with thick clouds, and storms, and tempests; in allusion to mourners, that are clothed with black: these figures, of the earth's mourning, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:29

The whole city shall flee ,.... Or, "every city"; for not Jerusalem only is meant, but every city, or the inhabitants of every city; and so the Targum paraphrases it, "all the inhabitants of the land,' who would be put into a panic, and flee: "for" or at the noise of the horsemen and bowmen ; of which the army of the enemy would greatly consist: it intimates that the inhabitants of Judea would not stand a battle; but at hearing the sound of the trampling of the horses, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:30

And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do ?.... Or, "O thou spoiled" F11 ואתי שדוד "et tu vastata", Pagninus, Montanus "et tu, res vastata", Cocceius. , wasted, and undone creature, how wilt thou help thyself? by what means dost thou think thou canst be delivered? it suggests that her ruin was inevitable; that she could not be recovered from it by herself, or any other: though thou clothest thyself with crimson ; and so look like some rich and noble person; hoping thereby to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:31

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail ,.... So the distress of the Jews, at the time of their destruction, is compared to the sorrows of a woman in travail; and a word, that signifies that is used to express it, Matthew 24:8 , and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child ; whose time is more difficult, her pains sharper, her anguish greater, and, having less experience, the more impatient: the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself ; her... read more
