エレミヤ書 37:9 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:6-10

Jeremiah Prophesies The Failure Of The Egyptians, The Reviving Of The Siege And The Destruction Of Jerusalem Because It Was YHWH’s Fixed Purpose (Jeremiah 37:6-10 ). Jeremiah dismissed the good news. He pointed out that it was so much YHWH’s purpose that Jerusalem be destroyed that even if the Babylonians were left few in number, and ailing at that, they would still succeed in their purpose. Jeremiah 37:6 ‘Then came the word of YHWH to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,’ Once again Jeremiah is in... read more

Chapter 37Now we come to the third part of the book of Jeremiah and this covers the period of Zedekiah the king. These particular prophecies, thirty-seven through thirty-nine, cover from the time that Zedekiah ascended to the throne unto his captivity in Babylon.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 37:6-10

6-10. Chaldeans shall… burn it The one thing noticeable about this passage is its terrible earnestness and minuteness. Jeremiah assures Judah that the Egyptians shall return to their own land and the Chaldeans to their siege, and that no possible reverse that can come to the Chaldeans will save the city from its impending fate. Even though the whole army were defeated, and there remained only the wounded who had been pierced through and through, (for this is the force of the term... read more
