Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:10

Jeremiah 25:10. The voice of the bridegroom, &c.— The song of the bridegroom, and the song of the bride; the songs of the mill, and the light of the lamp. By the songs of the mill, are meant the songs of those female slaves, who in ancient times used to grind at the mill. See Matthew 24:41. The ideas in Rev 18:23 are similar to those of our prophet; and the general meaning is, that every voice of gladness and of business shall be silent; and the whole land depopulated, and universal... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:11

Jeremiah 25:11. Seventy years— Not only the captivity and restoration of the two tribes were foretold, but the precise time of that captivity and restoration was also prefixed and determined by our prophet. This prophesy was delivered in the fourth year of Jehoiakim; and this same year it began to be put in execution; for Nebuchadnezzar invaded Judaea, besieged and took Jerusalem, and made Jehoiakim his subject and tributary; transported the finest children of the royal family and of the... read more

The Medes and other northern peoples, confederate with Babylon, are included with the Chaldeans. my servant—My agent for punishing (Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10; compare Jeremiah 40:2). Compare Jeremiah 40:2- :; Cyrus, "My shepherd." God makes even unbelievers unconsciously to fulfil His designs. A reproof to the Jews, who boasted that they were the servants of God; yet a heathen king is to be more the servant of God than they, and that as the agent of their... read more

10. (Jeremiah 7:34; Revelation 18:23). The land shall be so desolated that even in the houses left standing there shall be no inhabitant; a terrible stillness shall prevail; no sound of the hand-mill (two circular stones, one above the other, for grinding corn, worked by two women, Exodus 11:5; Matthew 24:41; in daily use in every house, and therefore forbidden to be taken in pledge, Matthew 24:41- :); no night-light, so universal in the East that the poorest house has it, burning all night.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 25:11

11. seventy years— ( :-). The exact number of years of Sabbaths in four hundred ninety years, the period from Saul to the Babylonian captivity; righteous retribution for their violation of the Sabbath (Leviticus 26:34; Leviticus 26:35; 2 Chronicles 36:21). The seventy years probably begin from the fourth year of Jehoiakim, when Jerusalem was first captured, and many captives, as well as the treasures of the temple, were carried away; they end with the first year of Cyrus, who, on taking... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 25:1-14

The length of the exile and Babylon’s fate 25:1-14Chapter 25 serves as a capstone for all of Jeremiah’s previous prophecies. The prophet’s perspective now broadens quickly to include the whole world and divine judgments ordained for it. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 25:8-9

The Lord announced that because they had not obeyed Him, He would bring Nebuchadnezzar down from the north, and destroy them and their neighbor nations with an awful, everlasting devastation. Nebuchadnezzar was the Lord’s servant in the same sense Cyrus was (cf. Isaiah 44:28 to Isaiah 45:1); he served the Lord by carrying out His will, for the most part unwittingly (cf. Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10; Acts 2:23). Since God’s people would not listen to His servants the prophets (Jeremiah 25:4),... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 25:10

He would remove everyday joy from their lives, even the joy of new marriages, as well as the productivity of the people. They would run out of grain, oil, and other necessities. He would leave them dwelling in darkness. All these expressions refer to the ending of life (cf. Ecclesiastes 12:3-6)."I must say that when I pray for my country and our culture, I do not pray for God’s justice. I can only plead for His mercy. If we had the justice of God, we would not have peace. We would have a... read more

4. Warnings in view of Judah’s hard heart 15:10-25:38This section of the book contains several collections of Jeremiah’s confessions, symbolic acts, and messages. These passages reflect conditions that were very grim, so their origin may have been shortly before the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 25:11

The whole land would remain a horrible desolation for 70 years, during which Israel and Judah would be absent from the Promised Land. This is the first prophecy of the length of the Babylonian captivity. The Israelites had not observed 70 sabbatical years, so the seventy-year exile would restore rest to the land, i.e., replenish the soil (2 Chronicles 36:20-22; Daniel 9:1-2)."The term of seventy years mentioned is not a so-called round number, but a chronologically exact prediction of the... read more
