Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-18

CHAPTER XIIIJEREMIAH UNDER PERSECUTIONJeremiah 20:1-18THE prophet has now to endure something more than a scornful rejection of his message. "And Pashchur ben Immer the priest" (he was chief officer in the house of Iahvah) "heard Jeremiah prophesying these words. And Pashchur smote Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks, which were in the upper gate of Benjamin in the house of Iahvah." Like the priest of Bethel, who abruptly put an end to the preaching of Amos in the royal sanctuary,... read more

CHAPTER 20 Pashur.-Jeremiah’s Perplexity and Complaint 1. Pashur and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 20:1-6 ) 2. Jeremiah’s great perplexity and complaint (Jeremiah 20:7-18 ) Jeremiah 20:1-6 . A great scene now follows the message in connection with the broken bottle. The great Pashur, the chief governor in the house of the LORD had heard of the message. He smites Jeremiah and puts him in the stocks, which must have been some form of cruel torture by which the victim was rendered helpless, besides... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 20:10

20:10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. {f} Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my friends watched for my fall, [saying], Perhaps he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.(f) Thus the enemies conferred together to know what they had heard him say, that they might accuse him of it, read Isaiah 29:21 . read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 20:11

20:11 {g} But the LORD [is] with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.(g) Here he shows how his faith strove against temptation and sought the Lord for strength. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-18

“ IN THE SWELLING OF JORDAN ” God told the prophet worse was to come. The Swelling of Jordan would be experienced later, and in the present lesson, especially towards the close, we have an illustration of it. There are things of interest to look at in the meantime, for example, an illustration of that symbolic teaching mentioned earlier. In chapter 13 we have what two symbols? See Jeremiah 13:1-11 for the first and Jeremiah 13:12-14 for the second. The prophet acted these out before the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 20:1-18

Pathetic Experiences Jer 20:10-18 In these verses we have two distinct aspects of human experience. Even supposing, as some critics do, that there is some dislocation as to their exact sequence, still we have a disparity which we ourselves can attest as being real and not imaginary. Within this brief section Jeremiah is on the hill-top and in the deepest valley of spiritual dejection. It may be that Jer 20:14 and onward should have come in connection with the previous paragraph, should have... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 20:9-13

What a blessed testimony, is it to the truth of the holy scriptures, that their effects on the souls of God's people, are in all ages the same. What Jeremiah said, all more or less find, that the word of the Lord is as a fire and as an hammer. Reader! can you bear like testimony to its power in your heart? Luke 24:32 . And what an uniform correspondence is there in all ages of the Church, among the Lord's people, how the enemy stirreth up the minds of men, to wait for their halting. An... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 20:7-13

7-13 The prophet complains of the insult and injury he experienced. But ver. Jeremiah 20:7 may be read, Thou hast persuaded me, and I was persuaded. Thou wast stronger than I; and didst overpower me by the influence of thy Spirit upon me. So long as we see ourselves in the way of God, and of duty, it is weakness and folly, when we meet with difficulties and discouragements, to wish we had never set out in it. The prophet found the grace of God mighty in him to keep him to his business,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 20:7-18

The Prophet's Joy and Sorrow v. 7. O Lord, thus Jeremiah now addresses the Lord in bringing his complaint over his persecutions to His attention. Thou hast deceived me, rather persuaded, enticed me, and I was deceived, he had yielded to the Lord in accepting the office of prophet; Thou art stronger than I and hast prevailed, His Spirit having taken hold of Jeremiah and constrained him to make known the Lord's Word and will, just as he had done; I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me,... read more
