耶利米書 5:17 RCUVTS

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 5:1-31

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the chapter. The description here of unblushing immorality and total disorganisation leads Kimchi and others to date this chapter after Josiah’s times; but it is not necessary; ostentatious reform and superficial religion may be synchronous with abandoned impiety and grossest corruption. Matthew Henry boldly puts an interval of twelve years between the fourth and this chapter, two years after Josiah’s death, but without argument or evidence.2.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 5:1-31

Jeremiah 5:2 . Though they say the Lord liveth, surely they swear falsely. These words being in every one’s mouth, are but words, not sentiments. If men knew the grandeur of God, and studied his perfections, they could not trifle in his presence. Verbal confessions, the emanations of an infidel heart, are but aggravations of impiety. Jeremiah 5:4 . Therefore I said, surely these are poor; they are foolish I will address myself to the great and the learned. Here the prophet found the same... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:17

17. They shall eat up thine harvest The English differs from the other Versions on this passage, and clearly misses the construction. It should be rendered, as by Keil, It shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters: it shall eat up thy flocks and thy cattle; eat up thy vine and thy fig tree. They shall impoverish Rather, it shall break down. The word is used besides only in Malachi 1:4. read more
