エレミヤ書 8:5-6 JC

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 8:4-7

Was there ever a more beautiful figure chosen to depicture the extreme folly of the human understanding, than in the contrast here drawn between the inconsiderateness of man, and the thoughtfulness of the birds of passage. How stated, how regular, how constant, to the season of emigration, are those fowls of the heavens? But poor fallen senseless man, never of himself seeketh the change of climate from the perishing things of time and sense, to the everlasting love and mercy in Christ Jesus! read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 8:4-13

4-13 What brought this ruin? 1. The people would not attend to reason; they would not act in the affairs of their souls with common prudence. Sin is backsliding; it is going back from the way that leads to life, to that which leads to destruction. 2. They would not attend to the warning of conscience. They did not take the first step towards repentance: true repentance begins in serious inquiry as to what we have done, from conviction that we have done amiss. 3. They would not attend to the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 8:4-12

The Jews Persist in Wickedness v. 4. Moreover, thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Shall they fall and not arise? Shall he turn away and not return? or, "Shall a man fall and not get up again? Shall one wander off and not return to the right path?" It is a natural instinct and inclination of men to get up after a fall, to search for the right path if one has lost his way. v. 5. Why, then, is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? Why do they persist so... read more

FULFILMENT OF RETRIBUTION CORRESPONDING TO THE IDOL-ABOMINATIONSJeremiah 8:1-31 At this time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring1The bones of the kings of Judah and the bones of his princes,And the bones of the priests and the bones of the prophets,And the bones of the citizens of Jerusalem out of their graves,2 And they shall spread them out to the sun,And to the moon, and to all the host of heaven,Which they loved and which they served and followed,And which they sought and... read more

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 8:1-22

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 8:4-13

YHWH Expresses Amazement At The Unwillingness of His People To Return To Him, And Their Complete Disregard For His Requirements, And Warns Them That As A Consequence They Will Lose Everything (Jeremiah 8:4-13 ). YHWH now declares that the behaviour of the people reveals them for what they are. They are so dead set on sin that nothing will turn them aside from it or cause them to stop and think. While birds observe their proper times, His people ignore them and do what they will. And yet they... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 8:4-17

Jeremiah 8:4-Esther : . Judah’ s Unnatural Conduct and its Punishment.— There is something unnatural in the persistency of the people’ s misconduct; they show no inclination to return to Yahweh, but pursue a headstrong course away from Him ( Jeremiah 8:6 mg.) . They put themselves below the level of the very birds of heaven, the stork, the turtle-dove, the swift, and the swallow (so in Jeremiah 8:7), who know the time of their return in spring (after their winter migration; cf. Isaiah 1:3).... read more
