Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 45:1-5

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Chronology of the Chapter.—Immediately upon his having written the roll which was afterwards read to, and destroyed by, Jehoiakim (vide notes on chap. 36); eighteen years before Jerusalem was taken.Literary Criticism.—Jeremiah 45:4. “Even this whole land.” Perhaps ארץ here may wisely be rendered “earth,” rather than limited to the “land” of Israel; for Nebuchadnezzar’s invasions and conquests were at that time disturbing, not Judea alone, but the known world (see... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 45:1-5

Chapter 45Now as we move into chapter 45, we are moving into the final part of Jeremiah's prophecies. This is known as the sixth part of the prophecies in which we have miscellaneous prophecies that are of... come from the different periods of Jeremiah's life, but they are directed for the most part against the nations that are round about Israel.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 45:1-5

REFLECTIONS.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 45:4

Jer 45:4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, [that] which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. Ver. 4.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 45:4

4. Built… break down This announces God’s purpose and his right. His proprietorship is involved in that he is the builder, and out of this comes his right to destroy. Even this whole land Rather, whole earth. The original word is ambiguous, but the parallel all flesh in the following verse limits its import to that land. read more
