Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-6

The Depths Of The Series Of Droughts (Jeremiah 14:1-6 ). The plural for ‘droughts’ suggests that there had been a series of droughts, probably over a number of years. Such droughts did occur in Canaan from time to time and their effects could be devastating. In the days of Joseph there had been one lasting for seven years, which had caused the move to Egypt. In the days of David there was one that lasted for three years ‘year after year’ (2 Samuel 21:1) which caused great distress. In the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-10

The Lesson of The Great Droughts (Jeremiah 14:1-10 ). As a preliminary warning of what is coming YHWH sends a great drought on Judah with the result that the cisterns are empty, the springs are dry, the pastures are bare and the ground is parched and cracked. Of course according to their then current theology it was Baal who should have ensured the supplies of rain as a result of their ritual antics before him, for he was the god of rain and storm, but they recognise that he had failed them,... read more

Section 5. The Word Concerning The Droughts: The Certainty Of Exile For Judah (Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 17:27 ). The new section is again introduced by the words ‘The word of YHWH which came to Jeremiah --’ (Jeremiah 14:1) although in slightly altered form (literally ‘that which came, the word of YHWH, to Jeremiah’). “The word concerning the droughts” gives illustrative evidence confirming that the impending judgment of Judah cannot be turned aside by any prayers or entreaties, and that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 15:9 . The Drought in Judah, and Jeremiah’ s consequent Intercession.— The date of this disaster is unknown, but some year in the latter half of Jehoiakim’ s reign is most probable. The effects of the drought are graphically described in Jeremiah 14:2-Joshua :. The personified “ gates” represent the people who gather at them in mourning attire and attitude (“ sit in black upon the ground” ; cf. Jeremiah 8:21, Jeremiah 13:18). The empty pits are dried-up storage... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 14:6

The wild asses, wanting water, got upon high places, where was the freest and coolest air, and sucked in the wind, and this it is said they did like dragons, of whom Aristotle and Pliny report, that by reason of the great heat of their bodies, they ordinarily stand upon high places sucking in the cool air, and they tell us those creatures will live upon it for some time. The prophet describing this great drought, tells us the wild asses did the like. But for want of grass their eyes were either... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter. This and chapter 15 form one prophecy (although Lange, Keil, and others connect chapters 14 to 17, regarding them as interwoven and synchronous). From evidence of personal hardship towards Jeremiah (Jeremiah 15:10), most probably these prophecies were delivered during the early years of Jehoiakim’s reign. (See on chapter 7) Also for Contemporary Scriptures: National Affairs, Contemporaneous History, see chapter 7.2. Natural... read more

And their nobles have sent their little ones to the water holes: they came to the water holes, and found no water; so they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and they covered their heads. Because the ground is chapt, for there was no... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Jeremiah 14:3 . They found no water. The latter rain had been denied, as in Jeremiah 3:3; and as Moses had foretold. Deuteronomy 11:17; Deuteronomy 28:23. Jeremiah, as is the duty of all ministers, improved this event of terror and affliction. Jeremiah 14:6 . The wild asses did stand in the high places. See on Job 6:5. They snuffed the wind like dragons, when parched with heat. Elian, by dragons, understands the larger species of serpents. Jeremiah 14:7 . Though our iniquities... read more

First, consider that man is a very dependent creature. He is, in some respects, the most dependent creature that God has made; for the range of his wants is very wide, and at a thousand points he is dependent upon something outside of himself.1. Man, as a living creature,... read more
