エレミヤ書 23:2 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Having thus passed in review the predecessors of Zedekiah on the throne of Judah, the prophet proceeded to deal with those who had been responsible for the failure of the people, the false kings and prophets. This first section has to do with the kings. In the divine economy the king has always been a shepherd, but the men who had held the kingly office had destroyed and scattered the sheep. This is the charge of Jehovah against them, and the prophet declared that Jehovah would visit on them... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-2

The Failure of the Worthless Shepherds (Jeremiah 23:1-2 ). YHWH passes His verdict on the false rulers who have failed His people. Note the dual double repetition of ‘the word of YHWH’ in Jeremiah 23:1-4 indicating the seriousness of His words, two referring to His judgments, and two to His restorative activity. Jeremiah 23:1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy, And scatter the sheep of my pasture! The word of YHWH.” A woe is declared on the rulers who have destroyed and scattered, and are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-8

The Promise Of The Coming Son Of David Who Will Triumph And Rule Wisely (Jeremiah 23:1-8 ). Having disabused the people’s minds about the likelihood of any of their current kings being the anticipated deliverer of the house of David, Jeremiah now promises that one day such a figure will come, but he only does it after he has first given his verdict on the present ‘shepherds’ (rulers) of Israel who are responsible for the fact that the flock has been or will be scattered among the nations. A... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Subsection 7). Words Concerning Various Kings (Jeremiah 21:1 to Jeremiah 24:10 ). This subsection proceeds in logical sequence although not chronologically, and will centre on three special themes, firstly on the fact that all hope for Judah in the short term has now gone, secondly that the promises of the false prophets suggesting that any of the current sons of David will be restored to the throne are invalid, and thirdly that while final blessing ‘in coming days’ will truly be at the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-8

Jeremiah 22:1 to Jeremiah 23:8 . This section contains several distinct Jeremianic prophecies, relating to contemporary kings of Judah; they have been editorially collected, probably with some expansion. Jeremiah 22:1-1 Samuel : . Introduction.— The prophet is sent down to the palace (lower than the Temple, and on the S.) to declare judgment and justice as the condition of permanence in the royal line. He bewails in a dirge ( Jeremiah 22:6 f.) the fall of the royal house, which is like that... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:2

That feed my people: God calleth them his people, his flock, the sheep of his pasture, with respect to the ancient covenant which God had made with their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They are said to have fed this people, because it was their duty, and the business of their office, so to have done, though they had failed in it, and had done the quite contrary, scattering them by their acts of violence and oppression, and driving them from their places to seek some more safe and quiet... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 23:1-40

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—The chapter is an epilogue to the denunciations of the three kings in chap. 22. It must have been written and proclaimed about the beginning of Zedekiah’s reign, for a warning to him, from the examples of his predecessors, of the consequences of unrighteousness. Cf. notes on chap. Jeremiah 21:11-14.2. Contemporary Scriptures.—2 Kings 24:17-19; 2 Chronicles 36:10-12. Comp. Jeremiah 52:1-3.For 3. National Affairs, and 4. Contemporaneous... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Jeremiah 23:1 . Woe be to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep. Princes are often called pastors, as Cyrus, Isaiah 44:28, because they enforce the laws and protect the people. Shallum, and the last kings of Judah, were the worst of shepherds, who scattered all the sheep. The degenerate priests and the false prophets flattered those princes in all their errors. Jeremiah 23:5 . I will raise to David a righteous branch. The Messiah, as the Chaldaic reads. See Isaiah 4:2. The... read more
