エレミヤ書 50:6 JC

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 50:1-20

Chaldea Punished; Israel Redeemed v. 1. The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah, the prophet, when Seraiah, to whom it was committed, was sent to Babylon, 51:59-60. It seems that the various prophecies against Babylon were collected at this time, to be sent as one message, partly to pronounce the doom of the oppressor, 25:12, partly to console the captive Jews and to remind them of the eventual end of their captivity. v. 2. Declare ye... read more

3. THE CHASTISEMENT OF THE CHASTISERJeremiah 50:6-136 A lost herd3 was4 my people:Their shepherds had led them astray on seductive mountains,5From mountain to hill they went,Forgat their fold.7 Whoever found them devoured them,And their oppressors said: We incur no guilt,Because they have sinned against Jehovah,The true pasturage and their fathers’ hope, Jehovah.8 Flee out of Babylon and—Let them go6 forth out of the land of the Chaldeans,And be as the rams before the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

The last of the prophecies concerning the nations has to do with Babylon. Throughout the whole of Jeremiah's prophetic utterances, she has been seen as the instrument of God's judgment. Finally, on account of her own sin and corruption, that judgment must inevitably fall upon her. That is the great burden of the message. It is perfectly evident throughout that the prophet had in mind the nations of Judah and Israel, and what he said concerning Babylon had its direct bearing on these as the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:6

LOST SHEEP‘My people have been lost sheep.’ Jeremiah 50:6 I. The sheep which wanders follows the wayward tendency of its nature.—It has none of the strong instinct of affection which binds some animals to their master and other animals to their home. And is there not in me, from the earliest beginnings of conscious life, an inclination to disobey? II. The sheep which strays is in imminent danger.—The precipice, the parched wilderness, the wolf, the robber—these perils confront it. And I,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

YHWH’s Judgment On Babylon And His Promises Concerning The Restoration Of The Remnant Of His People (Jeremiah 50:1 to Jeremiah 51:64 ). The series of prophecies against the nations had commenced with the prophecy against Egypt, the greatest nation of the area south of the Euphrates. It now finishes with a declaration of judgment against mighty Babylon, which at this time towered over the nations of the whole area. It was also the centre of all that was seen as debauched and debased, it... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:6-10

God’s Call To His Errant People To Flee From Babylon Because The Wrath Of YHWH Is Coming On It (Jeremiah 50:6-10 ). Israel’s plight is described as resulting from her backslidden condition, a plight seen by onlookers as totally deserved because of her disobedience to God. Now, however, she is called on to flee from Babylon because Babylon faces judgment. God’s people should not become caught up in Babylon’s ways. Rather they should flee from them. This call to flee from Babylon because of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1 to Jeremiah 51:58 . Babylon.— This long and monotonous prophecy, which is without order or logical development of ideas, is largely a compilation from the prophetic writings of Jeremiah and others ( cf., e.g., Jeremiah 50:41 ff., Jeremiah 51:15). It presupposes the destruction of Jerusalem, apparently as a remote rather than a recent event. Its idea of Babylon is that of a cruel tyrant to be punished by Yahweh, not that of a Divinely commissioned agent of Yahweh’ s wrath... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:6

My people hath been lost sheep: all men are compared to sheep that go astray, Isaiah 53:6; here it is applied to the Jews, who are called the Lord’s people, by reason of the ancient covenant God made with their fathers; they are said to be lost, either with respect to their captivity, being cast out of the land which God gave them for pastures, or in respect of their idolatry. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray; their civil and ecclesiastical governors have been a cause of it. The... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—This and the following chapter constitute one prophecy against Babylon; and the date of its authorship is given in chap. Jeremiah 51:59 : “the fourth year of Zedekiah.” Jeremiah delivered this written prophecy to Seriah, the king’s chamberlain and Baruch’s brother (cf. chap. Jeremiah 32:12), who accompanied Zedekiah the king to Babylon, probably at Nebuchadnezzar’s summons, for some imposing state occasion: the prophet’s design being... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Shall we turn now to Jeremiah chapter 50.Chapter 50 begins with the words,The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet ( Jeremiah 50:1 ).The end of chapter 51 declares, "And thou shalt say, 'Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her, and they shall be weary.' Thus far are the words of Jeremiah." In other words, this is the completion of the words of Jeremiah. Now I only bring that up to show... read more
