Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:1-27

Section 4. YHWH Deprecates The Disloyalty Of His People To The Covenant, And Demonstrates From Examples Their Total Corruption, Revealing That As A Consequence Their Doom Is Irrevocably Determined, Something Then Represented By Jeremiah By Means Of Prophetic Symbolism (Jeremiah 11:1 to Jeremiah 13:27 ). Commencing with the regular opening phrase ‘The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH --’ (Jeremiah 11:1), YHWH deprecates His people’s disloyalty to the covenant, and demonstrates from... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:15-27

A Final Appeal For Repentance Before It Is Too Late, For if They Do Fail To Respond Their Final Judgment Will Come Upon Them (Jeremiah 13:15-27 ). The people are called on to look to YHWH while there is still a glimmer of light, because if they do not gross darkness will descend upon them, something which causes Jeremiah to weep at what is coming. The assumption then being made that they will refuse to respond, it results in advice being given to the monarchy to divest themselves of their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:20-27

Jeremiah 13:20-Daniel : . Jerusalem’ s Shame.— This prophecy, as perhaps others in this chapter, would suit the position of affairs under Jehoiakim, after Carchemish (605). Jerusalem is asked concerning the welfare of her people, in the day of invasion by the foe from the north ( Jeremiah 4:6, etc.: here of the Babylonians). Jeremiah 13:21 should read, “ When he shall set over thee as head those whom thou hast thyself taught to be friends unto thee,” i.e. those who have been courted as... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 13:22

Hypocrites will rarely confess their own shame and God’s righteousness, but are ready to expostulate and dispute with God, and to call him to account why he hath dealt so with them, as if God had dealt unjustly. But (saith God) if thou shouldst have any such thoughts in thine heart, do but remember thine iniquities, how many and how great they have been, thy nakedness is discovered because of these, and for these thou art exposed to contempt and shame. Probably these phrases are fetched from... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter. The reference in Jeremiah 13:18 to the “queen” is regarded as determining the date of this chapter. Ewald, Hitzig, Umbreit, Dahler, Hend., and Dr. Payne Smith agree in identifying her as Nehushta, the queen-mother of Jehoiachin. For, although it is conjectural whether Jehoiachin (Jeconiah) was eighteen years of age at his accession (see 2 Kings 24:8) or only eight (comp. 2 Chronicles 36:9), certainly his mother shared with him the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

Chapter 13Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go down and buy a linen girdle, and put it on, but don't wash it. So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and I put it on. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, Take the girdle that you have purchased, which you have been wearing, and go to Euphrates, and hide it there under a rock. So I hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 13:1-27

Jeremiah 13:1 . Get thee a linen girdle, or “buy thee,” as the Chaldaic reads; which this priest and prophet wore unwashed till it became offensive, and began to excite attention and talk. The priest’s girdle was the brightest ornament of his costume; and the soldier’s girdle the first mark of honour. 2 Samuel 18:11. Jeremiah 13:4 . Go to Euphrates, and hide it there. After three months he there found it, mildewed, rotten, and good for nothing. Just so were the people of Judah and of... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Jeremiah 13:22

And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.Thy skirts — Probably these phrases are fetched from the usual practice of soldiers when they have conquered a place and taken prisoners, to strip them. By skirts is meant the lower part of their bodies covered with the lower part of their garments. read more
