The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:12-16

The causes of national disaster. I. IT IS PROFITABLE TO INQUIRE INTO THE CAUSES OF NATIONAL DISASTER . 1. Intellectually , this is a subject of profound interest, dealing with fundamental principles and the vast issues to which they lead when working on the largest scale. 2.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:12-16

The affliction of God's professed people an enigma to be explained. I. THE MYSTERY . This consists partly in the particular subjects of it, and partly in the degree to which it has gone. It is spoken of here prophetically as a future thing that has already taken place; and the problem is stated accordingly as a realization, and not a thing only conceived of. From time to time the history of Israel and Judah presents such scenes. It is by no means one of uninterrupted progress. There... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:13

There is no answer, for the wise men are ashamed ( Jeremiah 8:9 ); so Jehovah himself takes up his speech. My law which I set before them ; not in reference to the publication of the Law on Sinai, but, as Keil rightly points out, to the oral exhibition of the Torah by the prophets. Neither walked therein ; viz. in the Law. (On the precise contents of the term here rendered "Law," see note on Jeremiah 8:8 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:14

Imagination ; rather, stubbornness (see on Jeremiah 3:17 ). Baalim . The Hebrew has "the Baalim;" practically equivalent to "the idol-gods" (see on Jeremiah 2:8 ). Which their fathers taught them . "Which" refers to both clauses, i . e . to the obstinacy and the Baal-worship. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:14

Hereditary sin real sin. God here declares that he will punish those who have walked "after Baalim, which their fathers taught them." Therefore the fact of their having been trained in this sin by their fathers is not held to acquit them of guilt in what they do. Their sin, though hereditary, is real. I. THIS SEEMS UNJUST . It has often been objected to that because the fathers ate sour grapes the children's teeth should be set on edge ( Ezekiel 18:2 ). Why should I be punished... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:15

I will feed them … with wormwood. A figure for the bitter privations of captivity (comp. Lamentations 3:15 , "He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood"). Wormwood and gall—i.e; the poppy (Tristram)—are combined again in Deuteronomy 29:17 . read more

For the mountains will I take up a weeping “These words,” says Houbigant, “as they now lie, must belong either to Jeremiah or the daughter of Zion; and yet it follows in the next verse, And I will make, which are the words of God: therefore this verse should be rendered, by a slight alteration of the text, ‘Take ye up a weeping and wailing on the mountains, a lamentation in the dwellings of the wilderness; for they are desolate, because there is no traveller; nor is... read more

Jeremiah 9:12-13. Who is the wise man Or, Is there not a wise man, who understands this? Is there none of you so well acquainted with the will of God and the methods of his providence, as to be able to declare the reasons why he has given such severe instances of his anger against this land?

By these expressions is signified not only a scarcity of meat and drink, but the most grievous calamities. I... read more
