エレミヤ書 7:3 JC

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

With this section the second movement in commissioning the prophet commences. It deals first with the sins of worship. These are first denounced. At the gate of the Temple the prophet rebuked the people for putting their trust in external things, and told them that their true safety lay in amending their ways. He charged them with committing all manner of sin, and yet standing before God in His house, imagining that by this external act they would be delivered and set free to continue in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-15

Judah Must Not Trust In The Presence Of The Temple For Security Because As A Result Of Their Evil Ways YHWH Intends To Do To The Temple What He Did To His House At Shiloh, Destroy It (Jeremiah 7:1-15 ). As a result of the amazing deliverance of Jerusalem with its Temple from the Assyrians in the time of Hezekiah, and what had in contrast happened to neighbouring temples, the myth had grown up that the security of Jerusalem was guaranteed by the presence of the Temple among them. Their view... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Subsection 3. In This Subsection Jeremiah Admonishes The People Concerning The False Confidence That They Have In The Inviolability Of The Temple, And In Their Sacrificial Ritual, And After Chiding Them, Calls On Them To Recognise The Kind Of God That They Are Dealing With (Jeremiah 7:1 to Jeremiah 10:25 ). Commencing with what will be the standard introductory words up to chapter 25, ‘The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH --’ (Jeremiah 7:1; compare Jeremiah 11:1; Jeremiah 14:1; Jeremiah... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-15

Jeremiah 7:1-Ezra : . The Temple Sermon.— The prophet is sent to the gate of the Temple, to rebuke the false confidence of Yahweh’ s worshippers in the possession of this block of buildings (“ these” , Jeremiah 7:4). Yahweh desires social justice ( Jeremiah 7:6), moral conduct ( Jeremiah 7:9), and wholehearted worship; otherwise the security inspired by the fact that the Temple belongs to Him ( Jeremiah 7:10, note mg.) is utterly baseless. Yahweh will not permit His Temple to become like... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:3

Amend your ways and your doings, i.e. mend your manners. Amending signifies both to turn from our evil works, and make our good better. I will cause you to dwell in this place; you shall not go into captivity, implying that otherwise they should; he will continue their habitations to them from age to age, as Jeremiah 7:7. The doing of a thing in Scripture often implies the continuance of it: Leviticus 26:11, I will set my tabernacle, i.e. I will continue it. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES. 1. Chronology of the chapter. Keil regards chaps. 7 to 10 as later addresses, delivered during Josiah’s reign. Bagster places an interval of merely two years between chaps. 6 and 7, dating this B.C. 610, two years before Josiah’s death. The A.V. places it ten years after Jehoiakim became king. But Dahler, Graf, Naeg., Lange, Hend., and Dr. Payne Smith identify this chapter with chap. 26. (cf. the corresponding verses, Jeremiah 7:2; Jeremiah 7:13-14, with Jeremiah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Chapter 7So chapter 7. King Josiah, who was reigning at the beginning of Jeremiah's ministry, in the eighteenth year of his reign, ordered the temple restored. It had fallen into disrepair. It sort of lay in ruins. They had in the outer courts built altars unto Baal and unto Molech, and they had forsaken the worship of God, of the Lord in the temple for years. So Josiah now ordered that the temple be restored and he gave to Hilkiah, the high priest, a great sum of money that he might hire... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Jeremiah 7:2 . Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and call the people to repentance by arguments arrayed in all the glory and force of truth. This was the chief gate of entrance. The temple had three gates on the north, and three on the south. The character of these addresses, Dr. Dahler thinks, associate with the degenerate times of Jehoiakim. Jeremiah 7:4 . Trust ye not in lying words, muttered daily by the false prophets, saying, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 7:1-7

Jeremiah 7:1-7Stand in the gate . . . and proclaim.Boldness in preachingSome preachers are traders from port to port, following the customary and approved course; others adventure over the whole ocean of human concerns. The former are hailed by the common voice of the multitude, whose cause they hold, the latter blamed as idle, often suspected of hiding deep designs, always derided as having lost all guess of the proper course. Yet, of the latter class of preachers was Paul the apostle. Such... read more
