耶利米书 2:17 RCUVSS

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:14-28

Jeremiah 2:14-Hosea : . Israel’ s False Religion.— Israel has forfeited the privileges of a son, and incurred disaster by forsaking Yahweh for the sensuous worship of the Baalim ( cf. Jeremiah 2:20; Jeremiah 2:28). Jeremiah 2:14-Esther : may be a later insertion, as it seems to break the connexion between Jeremiah 2:13 and Jeremiah 2:18; Jeremiah 2:15 apparently refers to the devastation of the northern kingdom by Assyria, Jeremiah 2:16 to the defeat of Judah by Pharaoh Necho (pp. 60, 72) at... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 2:17

Hast thou not procured this unto thyself? here God by his prophet shows that they may thank themselves for all that is hastening upon them. See Numbers 32:23. In that thou hast forsaken the Lord: here he shows wherein, viz. in forsaking God: not that he left them, but they him, and that without any temptation or provocation; and therefore were the more inexcusable. When he led thee by the way, viz. by the conduct of his providence in the wilderness, keeping thee in safety from all dangers,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-37

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology. Most probably in thirteenth Josiah, quickly after his call. Dr. Dahler (Stratsbourg) would interpose chapters 4, 5, 6; deferring this chapter till after them. But Hitzig sees in chap. 2 and 3 (where they think this discourse ends) all the characteristics of an inaugural prophetic deliverance; for “in its finished completeness it gives the impression of a first uttered outpouring of the heart, in which are set forth, without restraint, Jehovah’s list... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-37

Chapter 2Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD ( Jeremiah 2:1-2 );Now this is the first message that he has to deliver. As God is calling to His people and it's really a very pathetic thing. It's filled with pathos as God is calling the people much as Jesus did in His message to the church of Ephesus. "Oh, you've got your works. You've got your organizations. You've got your committees. You're functioning but oh, I've... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 2:1-37

Jeremiah 2:2 . I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth. God now addressed them, that he might do the same to the children as he had done to the fathers, and rejoice over them as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride in the day of her espousals. Base must be the heart that could reject so gracious a message, and from a prophet so young. But the Israelites in those days, as Judah in later times, made ungrateful returns for favours so divine. Jeremiah 2:6 . Neither said they, where is... read more

Hast thou not procured this to thyself? ] The same may the Lord say to every sufferer: and further add, "Did not I warn you, saying, Sin not against the child?"

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 2:17

17. Hast thou not procured this This has come from forsaking the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way No lions are in that way. It is not a way of servitude and sorrow. It may lead into a region of drought and death-shade, but it shall also be through it. To the eye of sense it may be devious and difficult, but to the eye of faith it leads directly to the promised land. read more
