Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Jeremiah’s Diatribe Against The Prophets, Headed As ‘Concerning The Prophets’ (Jeremiah 23:9-40 ). Having set right the vision of the future, Jeremiah now turns on those who had been distorting that vision in one way or another, the prophetic guild. Like the current ‘sons of David’ they too were inadequate. These were men who claimed to speak ‘the word of YHWH’ in the Name of YHWH in His very house (the Temple), but spoke all manner of falsehood and ungodliness in that Name. It was not that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:25-32

YHWH Rejects The Testimony Of The False Jerusalem Prophets And Reveals Himself As The All-knowing One), Condemning The Temple Prophets As False Dreamers Who Cause The People To Err. They Are In Direct Contrast With Those Who Have The True Word Of YHWH Which Is Like A Fire And A Hammer Which Breaks Rock In Pieces (Jeremiah 23:25-32 ). YHWH now stresses that He had not sent these prophets and that their words were not to be seen as coming from Him. And He wants all to know that He is not out of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Jeremiah 23:9-Matthew : . The Prophets.— Jeremiah is overcome by the stern message given him to deliver. The evil of the land is encouraged by prophet and priest ( Jeremiah 6:13), even the Temple being dishonoured ( 2 Kings 21:5); for this they shall be thrust down a dark and slippery way ( Jeremiah 23:9-2 Kings :). The immorality of the southern prophets is worse than was the false religion of the northern ( Jeremiah 23:13). Hence their punishment ( Jeremiah 23:15; cf. Jeremiah 9:15). They... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:26

Will these prophets never have done? Have they not deceived people long enough with their lies, and the deceit of their own hearts; and that not unwarily, and by involuntary mistake, but of set purpose, it being in their heart, their purpose and design, to do it. Some join it to the following verse, and make the sense this: Do these prophets, that publish lies, and the deceits of their hearts, for my revealed will, think to cheat my people always, and to cause my people to forget my name? as it... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 23:1-40

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—The chapter is an epilogue to the denunciations of the three kings in chap. 22. It must have been written and proclaimed about the beginning of Zedekiah’s reign, for a warning to him, from the examples of his predecessors, of the consequences of unrighteousness.

Now in chapter 23 God speaks out against thosePastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the LORD ( Jeremiah 23:1 ).God said, "They're My sheep, but these pastors are scattering them and destroying them."Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD ( Jeremiah 23:2 ).Those wicked pastors who... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Jeremiah 23:1 . Woe be to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep. Princes are often called pastors, as Cyrus, Isaiah 44:28, because they enforce the laws and protect the people. Shallum, and the last kings of Judah, were the worst of shepherds, who scattered all the sheep. The degenerate priests and the false prophets flattered those princes in all their errors. Jeremiah 23:5 . I will raise to David a righteous branch. The Messiah, as the Chaldaic reads. See Isaiah 4:2. The... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:26

26. How long, etc. Rather, How long? Is it in the minds of the prophets that prophesy falsehood in my name the prophets of the deceit of their heart? Impatient of their impious audacity Jeremiah cries out, “How long?” and then draws out his question more explicitly. read more
