Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-2

1,2 The first two verses should be read with the last chapter. Sin must be put away out of the heart, else it is not put away out of God's sight, for the heart is open before him. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 4:1-4

A Last Call to Return v. 1. If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto Me, or, "if thou wilt return unto Me," the repetition serving to emphasize the anxious, merciful call of the Lord, and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of My sight, so that they no longer fill Him with loathing, then shall thou not remove, no longer waver, no more be an unsettled wanderer, running from one sanctuary of idolatry to the next. v. 2. And thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in... read more

4. THE CALL TO RETURN IN THE PRESENTJeremiah 4:1-41 If thou returnest, O Israel, saith Jehovah,Return unto Me.And if thou puttest away thine abominations out of my sight,Then waver not,12 But swear ‘As Jehovah liveth!’In truth and justice and righteousness,So that the nations bless themselves in him,2And boast of him.3 For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and Jerusalem,Break up your fallow-ground3And sow not among thorns.4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,And take away... read more

Pleading with Faithless Children Jeremiah 3:11-25 ; Jeremiah 4:1-2 The people of the northern kingdom, to whom this appeal is especially addressed, were more excusable than Judah, because their privileges had been less. God judges us according to our opportunities. How precious the invitation and promise of Jeremiah 3:12 ! Confession is an essential condition that must be fulfilled by us. See 1 John 1:7 . Zion shall yet be the center of a restored Israel, Jeremiah 3:14 ; Jeremiah 3:18 . In... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Jehovah immediately promised that if Israel would return, she would be established. Then the prophet declared that judgment was determined on. He appealed to the people to repent, and that not in external manifestation, but actually and in heart. The people are described as panic-stricken because of the imminent peril. In a parenthesis (verse Jer 4:1 o), the prophet's anguish is revealed as he sees the judgment falling. Nevertheless he continued his message, and described the swift attack of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-2

Having Given His Glowing Promises YHWH Now Describes The Present Situation Of Israel Which Is In Stark Contrast To The Glowing Picture That He Has Painted (Jeremiah 3:20 to Jeremiah 4:2 ). The beautiful vision just revealed of YHWH’s intentions for His people is in deliberate and stark contrast to the reality. For far from turning to Him in repentance Israel are seen as set in their evil ways. They are like a wife who has treacherously deserted her husband, and in their perverted way are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Subsection 2). YHWH’s Solemn Warning To Judah In The Days Of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 6:30 ). This section can be divided into four parts: · Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 4:2. Israel is held up as an example to Judah, both of faithlessness and of hope for the future. For because of what they had done Israel were in exile, and were ashamed of their ways, but if only they would turn to Him in their exile they would be restored. For them there was hope. It was very different with... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-4

Jeremiah 3:19 to Jeremiah 4:4 . A Dialogue of Yahweh’ s Grace.— This directly continues Jeremiah 3:5, the “ I” of Jeremiah 3:19 being emphatically contrasted with the “ thou” of Jeremiah 3:5. Yahweh expresses His desire ( Jeremiah 3:19 mg.) to give Judah, though a daughter, a son’ s portion in the best of lands ( mg. 2 ) , but Judah (here called Israel in narrower sense, Jeremiah 3:20) has left Him. When, speechless, she weeps in penitence ( Jeremiah 3:21) on the bare heights, the place of... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 4:1

Return unto me: this seems to be a continuation of the former sermon; so that Israel having promised repentance, they are here directed how it must be qualified, viz. it must not be hypocritical and reigned, but real and hearty, Jeremiah 24:7, as Josiah’s was, 2 Kings 23:25; and it must be unto the Lord; not to this idol and that idol, hither and thither, shifting their way; but unto me; see Jeremiah 2:36; or to my worship, and as thou hast promised, Jeremiah 3:22. And this sense agrees best... read more
