Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 44:19

44:19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make for her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without {l} our husbands?(l) This teaches us what a great danger it is for the husbands to permit their wives anything of which they are not assured by God’s word: for by it they take an opportunity to justify their doings and their husbands will give an account of it before God. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

LAST MESSAGE TO THE REMNANT Chapter 40 opens with an account of Nebuchadnezzar’s kindness to Jeremiah, inspired by what he had known of the latter’s advice to his countrymen (Jeremiah 40:1-4 ). Jeremiah had been the friend of Babylon, but not necessarily the enemy of his own nation. His patriotism was unquestioned, but the highest expression of his patriotism was his counsel to Judah to obey the will of God and submit to Babylon. Jeremiah’s choice of action is in Jeremiah 40:5-6 . The new... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 44:15-19

While we remark the patience and long suffering of the Lord; are we not compelled no less to remark, and be astonished at the impudence, and incorrigible hardness of the human heart? Was there ever an example of more daring impiety, than what is here represented? Alas! how sin hardens. Well may every poor sinner, who reads it, exclaim in the language of that prayer, from pride and hardness of heart, and contempt of thy word; good Lord, deliver us! The idol here spoken of, the queen of heaven,... read more

Worship. Hebrew, "to represent." The cakes had a crescent on them. (Calmet) See Hesychius in Greek: selenai. --- Husbands. The women are most zealous. But all partook of this idolatry, chap. vii. 18. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:15-19

15-19 These daring sinners do not attempt excuses, but declare they will do that which is forbidden. Those who disobey God, commonly grow worse and worse, and the heart is more hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Here is the real language of the rebellious heart. Even the afflictions which should have parted them from their sins, were taken so as to confirm them in their sins. It is sad when those who should quicken each other to what is good, and so help one another to heaven, harden each... read more

The Answer of the Jews and the Lord's Prophecy of Punishment v. 15. Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, the female contingent apparently being in the majority, from which many have concluded that the festival was one in honor of the Queen of Heaven herself, in whose service the women were very zealous, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, where this meeting was held, ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 44:1-30

The next prophecy in Egypt was of a fiery protest against the persistent rebellion of the people of God. The prophet reminded them of the patience of God, and of how His anger had already been poured out on Jerusalem, and declared that the rebellious remnant which had found its way into Egypt would be wholly cut off. This message was answered by a defiant and persistent declaration of rebellion, in which they misinterpreted their own history by declaring that all the evils that had befallen... read more

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 continued).

Following On After The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New... read more
