耶利米書 7:12 CUNPTS

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:12

Beginning, under Josue. (Haydock) --- The sins of a few priests caused this place to be abandoned, (1 Kings ii. 22., and iii. 4., and Psalm lxxviii. 60.) and shall the crimes of a whole people escape? (Calmet) --- It is true, that place and Jerusalem were once sanctified: but the people being criminal, God retires. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-16

1-16 No observances, professions, or supposed revelations, will profit, if men do not amend their ways and their doings. None can claim an interest in free salvation, who allow themselves in the practice of known sin, or live in the neglect of known duty. They thought that the temple they profaned would be their protection. But all who continue in sin because grace has abounded, or that grace may abound, make Christ the minister of sin; and the cross of Christ, rightly understood, forms the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 7:8-15

The Warning Example of Shiloh v. 8. Behold, ye trust in lying words, those of the false prophets, the hypocritical leaders, that cannot profit, which brought only harm and the curse upon them. v. 9. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, the chief idol of the heathen nations round about, and walk after other gods whom ye know not, who have never manifested and proved themselves as the true God did, by His words and works, v. 10. and come... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 7:1-34

3. THE THIRD DISCOURSEChaps. 7–10The time of this discourse may be determined pretty accurately, since Jeremiah 26:0. gives us information concerning the historical circumstances in which the discourse was delivered. We learn from it that in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim Jeremiah received from Jehovah the commission to place himself in the fore-court of the temple, and to announce to all the Jews who had come to worship (comp. Jeremiah 26:2 with Jeremiah 7:2) that if they continued to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

With this section the second movement in commissioning the prophet commences. It deals first with the sins of worship. These are first denounced. At the gate of the Temple the prophet rebuked the people for putting their trust in external things, and told them that their true safety lay in amending their ways. He charged them with committing all manner of sin, and yet standing before God in His house, imagining that by this external act they would be delivered and set free to continue in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-15

Judah Must Not Trust In The Presence Of The Temple For Security Because As A Result Of Their Evil Ways YHWH Intends To Do To The Temple What He Did To His House At Shiloh, Destroy It (Jeremiah 7:1-15 ). As a result of the amazing deliverance of Jerusalem with its Temple from the Assyrians in the time of Hezekiah, and what had in contrast happened to neighbouring temples, the myth had grown up that the security of Jerusalem was guaranteed by the presence of the Temple among them. Their view... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Subsection 3. In This Subsection Jeremiah Admonishes The People Concerning The False Confidence That They Have In The Inviolability Of The Temple, And In Their Sacrificial Ritual, And After Chiding Them, Calls On Them To Recognise The Kind Of God That They Are Dealing With (Jeremiah 7:1 to Jeremiah 10:25 ). Commencing with what will be the standard introductory words up to chapter 25, ‘The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH --’ (Jeremiah 7:1; compare Jeremiah 11:1; Jeremiah 14:1; Jeremiah... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-15

Jeremiah 7:1-Ezra : . The Temple Sermon.— The prophet is sent to the gate of the Temple, to rebuke the false confidence of Yahweh’ s worshippers in the possession of this block of buildings (“ these” , Jeremiah 7:4). Yahweh desires social justice ( Jeremiah 7:6), moral conduct ( Jeremiah 7:9), and wholehearted worship; otherwise the security inspired by the fact that the Temple belongs to Him ( Jeremiah 7:10, note mg.) is utterly baseless. Yahweh will not permit His Temple to become like... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:12

Shiloh; a place that did belong to the tribe of Ephraim, Psalms 78:60, compare Psalms 78:67; the situation whereof see Judges 21:19; and called God’s house, as the temple is, 1 Samuel 1:3,1 Samuel 1:7; he sends them hither for an example, which had the same privileges and holiness with the temple; not to go thither locally, but to cast their thoughts back, and consider of it, that they might know that God’s presence is not tied to places, Acts 7:48. Where I set my name at the first; where I did... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES. 1. Chronology of the chapter. Keil regards chaps. 7 to 10 as later addresses, delivered during Josiah’s reign. Bagster places an interval of merely two years between chaps. 6 and 7, dating this B.C. 610, two years before Josiah’s death. The A.V. places it ten years after Jehoiakim became king. But Dahler, Graf, Naeg., Lange, Hend., and Dr. Payne Smith identify this chapter with chap. 26. (cf. the corresponding verses, Jeremiah 7:2; Jeremiah 7:13-14, with Jeremiah... read more
