エレミヤ書 8:18-19 JCB

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 8:1-22

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 8:1-22

Accusations and Penalties Jeremiah 8-9 These chapters are full of accusation. The point is, that the accusation was not directed against heathen nations; it is hurled against the chosen of God. There is a certain kind of accusation in which there is comfort. Where the indictment is severe, it is evident that the expectation has been high, and God never expects much except where he has sown much. Therefore it may come to pass that the very gravity and poignancy of the accusation may be... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 8:8-22

I bring the whole of this beautiful Chapter, from this verse to the end into one view, for the sake of shortness, and from necessity; but otherwise nothing could be more desirable than to dwell upon each verse. Taken in one mass, it contains the gracious expostulation of the Lord, with his people: blessed as they were, with every means, but destitute of the desired end. And how beautiful the Chapter closeth. Gilead, was a place remarkable in the land for loveliness, and for health and fertility... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 8:14-22

14-22 At length they begin to see the hand of God lifted up. And when God appears against us, every thing that is against us appears formidable. As salvation only can be found in the Lord, so the present moment should be seized. Is there no medicine proper for a sick and dying kingdom? Is there no skilful, faithful hand to apply the medicine? Yes, God is able to help and to heal them. If sinners die of their wounds, their blood is upon their own heads. The blood of Christ is balm in Gilead, his... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 8:13-22

Further Description of the Impending Punishment v. 13. I will surely consume them, saith the Lord, making a clean sweep of them all; there shall be no grapes on the vine nor figs on the fig-tree, both of these plants representing unfruitful Israel, and the leaf shall fade. As it had been at the time of Isaiah, Isaiah 5:2, and as it later was at the time of Christ, Matthew 21:19, so it was emphatically stated of Israel in the last years before the Chaldean invasion that the Lord was deeply... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 8:4-22

False Promises of Peace Jeremiah 8:4-22 This chapter is filled with denunciation of the unreasonable and infatuated obstinacy of Israel. As the horse rushes madly to the fight, so were the people set on evil. The very birds that were sensitive to the laws of migration, and obeyed the call of the sunnier clime, were more impressible than the Chosen People. God often calls us out of the stormy winter blasts to lands of sunny fellowship, but we will not heed. From Jeremiah 5:10 onward we have a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 8:1-22

Utter desolation would overtake them so that death would be chosen rather than life. This sin of idolatry had been aggravated by the people's terrible persistence therein. If men fall it is naturally expected that they will rise, if they wander that they will return. In the case of Jerusalem this had not been so, their backsliding had been perpetual. There was no sign of repentance. The people did not know the ordinance or judgment of the Lord. Because of this perpetual backsliding the... read more
