Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 16:1-21

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 16:10-18

What Jeremiah Is To Answer Once He Has Given His Explanation As To Why He Is Abstaining From Marriage And Family Life, From All Forms Of Mourning, And From All Celebratory Feasts (Jeremiah 16:10-18 ). With Jeremiah having brought home to the people the significance of his signs, i.e. that they are indications of great desolation ahead, they are then moved to ask him why YHWH has pronounced this great evil on them (Jeremiah 16:10). In view of their claim that ‘they had done nothing wrong’ we... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 16:1-21

Jeremiah 16:1 to Jeremiah 17:18 . The Coming Distress a Penalty for Sin.— The prophet is forbidden to found a family, because of the coming sorrows ( cf. 1 Corinthians 7:29 ff.), in which death will be too common even for due mourning and burial. He is to stand aloof from the ordinary expressions of grief ( Jeremiah 16:5-Judges :) or social joy ( Jeremiah 16:8 f.; cf. Jeremiah 7:34), as a sign that Yahweh will make both to cease in the universal disaster. The reason for this great suffering... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 16:13

You would not hearken to me to obey my voice in that good land which I gave you, and which you have known and inherited now many years; therefore I will throw you out into a land which you know not, and which your fathers knew not. You would not serve me in this land, but chose to serve other gods in my land; you shall serve other gods in a strange land, you shall there have no such opportunities as you have here-at Jerusalem to worship me the true God, according to the prescription and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 16:1-21

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter. Chapters 16 and 17 form one prophecy. The taunt in chap. Jeremiah 17:15 shows that this message from God was delivered before the capture of Jerusalem, which occurred at the close of Jehoiakim’s career. Jehoiakim was slain in the eleventh year of his reign, i.e., in common chronology, B C. 597, or in Assyrian chronology, B.C. 578. There are allusions in the prophecy which lead to the conclusion that it was delivered during this reign;... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:1-21

Shall we turn now to Jeremiah 16:1-21 .Now you remember that Jeremiah was just a young man when God called him to this prophetic ministry. And so in chapter 16:The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place ( Jeremiah 16:1-2 ).So Jeremiah is commanded by God not to marry, and the reason for the commandment not to marry or not to have children was to be a sign to the people of the terrible times that were... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 16:1-21

Jeremiah 16:2 . Thou shalt not take thee a wife in this place. The prohibition implies the honour of the state of matrimony, because it respects the sentence against a devoted nation. Our Saviour gives the like intimation when the Romans were about to destroy Jerusalem. “Blessed is the womb that never bare, and the paps that never gave suck.” St. Paul, during the Neronean persecution, gives much the same advice. 1 Corinthians 7:26. If a minister at home, or a missionary abroad, shall see... read more
