예레미야 42:10-18 KRV

Divine comforts for those in doubt and fear. I. THE MEANING OF THE INTERVAL . There are ten days to wait between the prayer of Jeremiah and the answer of Jehovah. Why this waiting? It must have been in some way for the sake of the people. They had said very emphatically they would be obedient; would they be obedient to begin with, to the extent of waiting ten days for God's answer? It had also to be seen whether they would continue in the spirit of obedience at all; and would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:7-18

Man's utter dependence upon God. These verses plainly show this much forgotten but never failing truth. They tell how the land of Judah, desolate, unprotected, and oppressed, could be and should be made a happy land for them. Whilst Egypt, the land they hoped so much from, should bring on them all the sorrows which they thought by going there to escape. Thus we are taught that it is according to God's favour our lives are blessed or unblessed, bright or dark. Mere circumstances are unable... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:9-12

The blessedness of patient endurance. In answer to the appeal of the people for guidance, Jeremiah has to tell them that good will attend them so long as they stay in their land, but curses if they flee to Egypt. Hardships crowd upon them at present, and dangers threaten for the future. But if they will but endure these patiently, God will save and prosper them. I. WHY THE PEOPLE WERE REQUIRED TO REMAIN IN THEIR LAND . 1 . It was the will of God. When we know... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:10

Build you, and not pull you down, etc. Some of Jeremiah's favourite phrases (see on Jeremiah 24:6 ). I repent me. And yet in 1 Samuel 15:29 we read that "Israel's Trust … is not a man that he should repent." The key to the discrepancy may be found in Psalms 18:25 , Psalms 18:26 , "With the pious thou showest thyself pious … and with the froward thou showest thyself froward." There is no change in the nature or purpose of God, but only in his conduct towards man. The term "repent"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:12

I will show mercies unto you; rather, I will procure you mercy. And cause you to return to. As if the journey to Bethlehem were a virtual Exodus, But it is far more natural to read the consonants of the text in a slightly different manner, rendering, "and cause you to dwell in." So the Syriac, the Vulgate, and Aquila. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:13-18

A land to be avoided. How solemn and urgent this warning! Let us ask why it was needed, why God seemed thus to cast doubt on the power of the people to obey him. I. THE PERILOUS LAND WAS NEAR . They were right in the way to Egypt, having, indeed, moved Egyptwards rather than in any other direction ( Jeremiah 41:17 ). II. IT HAD OBVIOUS ATTRACTIONS . 1 . It seemed to be a land of peace. Egypt had been locked to as a friend and ally. The desolation of... read more

And now therefore. Omit "and;" the vau simply marks the apodosis of the two previous verses. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 42:16

The sword, which ye feared; rather, which ye fear. The calamities mentioned were precisely these of which the Jews were apprehensive in their own country. So afterwards, "whereof ye are afraid." Shall overtake you there. For a further explanation, see Jeremiah 43:8-13 . read more
