耶利米书 15:8 CUNPSS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-9

Jeremiah Still Feels That He Must Make Some Plea On Behalf Of His People, But Is Firmly Informed That Even Though Moses And Samuel Were There To Plead The Cause Of The People They Would Not Prevail, Because Judgment On His Obstinate people Was Determined (Jeremiah 14:19 to Jeremiah 15:9 ). Jeremiah puts in a desperate plea for his people, unable to believe that YHWH has utterly rejected His people, and acknowledges their sin on their behalf, calling on YHWH not to forget His covenant. For he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-21

Section 5. The Word Concerning The Droughts: The Certainty Of Exile For Judah (Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 17:27 ). The new section is again introduced by the words ‘The word of YHWH which came to Jeremiah --’ (Jeremiah 14:1) although in slightly altered form (literally ‘that which came, the word of YHWH, to Jeremiah’). “The word concerning the droughts” gives illustrative evidence confirming that the impending judgment of Judah cannot be turned aside by any prayers or entreaties, and that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 15:1-9

Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 15:9 . The Drought in Judah, and Jeremiah’ s consequent Intercession.— The date of this disaster is unknown, but some year in the latter half of Jehoiakim’ s reign is most probable. The effects of the drought are graphically described in Jeremiah 14:2-Joshua :. The personified “ gates” represent the people who gather at them in mourning attire and attitude (“ sit in black upon the ground” ; cf. Jeremiah 8:21, Jeremiah 13:18). The empty pits are dried-up storage... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 15:8

The prophet speaking in the name of that God who calleth things that are not as if they were, still continueth his style, speaking of things to come as if present. In Jehoiakim’s time we read of no such plenty of widows; they were multiplied when the city was besieged and taken in Zedekiah’s time to a great number, hyperbolically compared to the sands of the sea. I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noon-day: there is a great variety amongst interpreters as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:1-21

Chapter 15Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go foRuth ( Jeremiah 15:1 ).Now it is interesting that when God chooses examples of men of great intercessory prayer, He chooses Moses and Samuel. There is an interesting characteristic about both Moses and Samuel and they were men who had the ear for God. You remember Moses was out in the wilderness and he saw the burning bush and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 15:1-21

Jeremiah 15:1 . Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, as when Moses by his prayers saved the nation, Exodus 32:11, and Samuel in Mizpeh was heard, when the Lord terrified the Philistine armies by thundering from heaven, and scattering all their host. 1 Samuel 7:10. Jeremiah 15:2 . Such as are for death, to death. By death is here evidently intended the pestilence; which, with the sword, the famine, and the captivity, should consume the whole nation. Jeremiah 15:3 . I will appoint... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 15:6-9

Jeremiah 15:6-9Thou hast forsaken Me.God forsaking and God forsakenI. A God-forsaking people. Conviction by God Himself of this great folly and sin. In Jeremiah 2:13, the charge is more complete. Creation is called upon to express surprise at a folly so conspicuous.1. “Thou”--who oughtest to have been unto Me a loyal and loving people, testifying of My power and grace, and proving by separation from the nation your preference for the living and true God.2. “Hast forsaken”--not simply forgotten,... read more
