エレミヤ書 46:9 JC

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:1-28

Jeremiah 46-51. The Foreign Prophecies.— These form the third principal division of the Book of Jeremiah. As already seen ( Jeremiah 1:5; Jeremiah 1:10, Jeremiah 25:15), Jeremiah’ s prophetic horizon naturally included the surrounding nations; how far the prophecies that follow are his can be decided only by detailed criticism in each case. They refer, though in somewhat different order, to the several nations enumerated in Jeremiah 25:19-Ezekiel : (which may be regarded as an introduction to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 46:9

Their ancient way of fighting was with chariots and bows; the prophet calls, in the name of the commanders of the Egyptian armies, to the horses and chariots to come on, and engage in the fight.

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Jeremiah 46:1-28 .Beginning with chapter 45 we came into the sixth part or section of the book of Jeremiah. And this sixth section is comprised of miscellaneous prophecies that are directed mainly to those nations that were around Israel.

And so God is going to address Himself to those Gentile nations now roundabout... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 46:1-28

Jeremiah 46:1 . The Gentiles. The succeeding six chapters ought to have followed the twenty fifth chapter of this book, as they do in the Vatican and Alexandrian copies of the Septuagint. Jeremiah 46:6 . They shall stumble and fall by the river Euphrates. In the great battle after king Josiah had been slain, the Egyptians claimed the victory; but now, after five years, the Egyptians were defeated, and could never meet the Assyrians with success. In this battle the swift flee away, as... read more
