Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 16:1-21

CHAPTER 163. Instructions as to the conduct of the Lord’s servant among the people who have incurred judgmentJeremiah 16:1-91 The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying,2 Thou shalt not take to thee a wife,Nor shalt thou have sons and daughters in this place:3 For thus saith Jehovah of the sons and of the daughters born in this place,And of their mothers that bare them,And of their fathers that begat them in this land:4 Miserable deaths1 shall they die,They shall not be... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 16:1-21

The controversy was immediately followed by a new charge to the prophet. Jehovah called him to a life of personal asceticism, commanding that he abstain from both mourning and mirth. That is to say, he was to stand aloof from the people in order to deliver to them the messages of his God. His messages of judgment would provoke inquiry among the people concerning the reason of God's dealings with them. The prophet was charged to make clear to them that these things resulted from their own sin.... read more

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

Arthur Peake

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 16:21

Because all the goodness and mercy that I have showed them will not learn them to know me, my power and might, I will once for all make them to understand it by the dreadful strokes of my vengeance. They shall know that my name is Jehovah; that I am not such a one as their idols, but one who have my being from myself, and give life and being to all other things, and have all might and power in my hand, and can do whatsoever I please; and one that will make good whatsoever I have spoken, whether... 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

Joseph Sutcliffe

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

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 16:19-21

Jeremiah 16:19-21O Lord, my strength, and my fortress.What God is to His peopleOne of the Puritans was accustomed to describe prayer as the flight of the lonely man to the only God. There is such prayer here. This man is very lonely. He is like a speckled bird, set on by all the birds of the flock. He looks right and left, but there is no man to care for his soul; then he addresses himself to God in these touching words:I. My strength. The Psalmist spoke of God as the strength of his life. The... read more
