Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 6:1-30

CHAPTER 6 1. The call to the children of Benjamin (Jeremiah 6:1-8 ) 2. Corruption and the deserved judgment (Jeremiah 6:9-26 ) 3. The prophet addressed (Jeremiah 6:27-30 ) Jeremiah 6:1-8 . The children of Benjamin are exhorted to flee for safety on account of the evil from the north. There were probably among the Benjamites God-fearing men. Those who heeded the call fled and escaped. It is a warning message which follows: “Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, let my soul depart from thee;... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 6:11

6:11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: {l} I will pour it out upon the {m} children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with [him that is] full of days.(l) As the Lord had given him his word to be as a fire of his indignation to burn the wicked, Jeremiah 5:14 so he kindles it now when he sees that all remedies are past.(m) No one will be spared. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 6:1-30

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 6:10-15

All these are so many gracious expostulations suited to the state of the Church, in all her seasons of affliction. I need not enlarge on them. They express that deadness, that leanness of soul, that bondage, and indifference to ordinance; the children of God, are at times but too well acquainted with. See Song of Solomon 5:2-3 ; Revelation 3:2 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:9-17

9-17 When the Lord arises to take vengeance, no sinners of any age or rank, or of either sex escape. They were set upon the world, and wholly carried away by the love of it. If we judge of this sin by God's word, we find multitudes in every station and rank given up to it. Those are to be reckoned our worst and most dangerous enemies, who flatter us in a sinful way. Oh that men would be wise for their souls! Ask for the old paths; the way of godliness and righteousness has always been the way... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 6:9-15

The Prophet Voices the Fury of the Lord v. 9. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They, namely, the invaders whose approach was here prophesied, shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine, not hastily nor superficially, but with the greatest thoroughness, as the divine judgment is ever executed. Turn back thine hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets, going back to the vines again and again in order to get even the last of the berries, said of the repeated invasions of the Chaldeans,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 6:1-30

This judgment the prophet now described. A fierce and relentless foe, acting under the word of Jehovah, is described as coming up against Jerusalem. The prophet declared that the city would be taken, and described the thoroughness of the judgment under the figure of gleaning. All ages would be affected, and the whole land as well as the city be involved. Again he declared that the reason for this judgment was the complete corruption of the people, their false sense of security, and their... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:1-30

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
