The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:9

Nebuchadnezzar, the servant of God. I. THE CONTRAST WITH OTHER SERVANTS . Observe the mention, in Jeremiah 25:4 , of those very different servants of God, the prophets (so mentioned elsewhere). God had sent many of them and many times, and hardly any attention had been paid to them. Higher motives had been appealed to in vain. Considerations of duty and prudence were thrown to the winds. And now the mighty king Nebuchadnezzar comes, with a very different sort of force—not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:10

The sound of the millstones . Modem travel enables us (so conservative is the East) to realize the full force of this image. The hand-mill is composed of two stones. As a rule, "two women" (comp. Matthew 24:41 ) sit at it facing each other; both have hold of the handle by which the upper is turned round on the 'nether' millstone. The one whose right hand is disengaged throws in the grain as occasion requires, through the hole in the upper stone" (Dr. Thomson). "The labor," remarks Dr.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:11

Shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years . Widely different opinions are held as to the meaning of this prophecy. The most probable view is that "seventy" is an indefinite or round number (as in Isaiah 23:17 ), equivalent to "a very long time." This is supported by the analogy of Jeremiah 27:7 , where the captivity is announced as lasting through the reigns of Nebuchadnezzar, his son, and his grandson—a statement evidently vague and indefinite (see ad loc .), and in any case not... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 25:9

The term families is probably used here to signify the widespread empire of Nebuchadnezzar.My servant - This title, so remarkable in the Old Testament as the especial epithet, first of Moses, and then of the Messiah, is thrice given to Nebuchadnezzar, and marks the greatness of the commission entrusted to him. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 25:10

Take from them ... the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle - (or, lamp). To denote the entire cessation of domestic life. The one was the sign of the preparation of the daily meal, the other of the assembling of the family after the labors of the day were over. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 25:11

Seventy years - The duration of the Babylonian empire was really a little short of this period. But the 70 years are usually calculated down to the time when the Jews were permitted to return to their country (compare Jeremiah 29:10). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 25:4-7

Jeremiah 25:4-7. And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants, &c. Nor am I the only prophet whom the Lord hath sent you, and whom you have neglected and despised. God hath sent you many more, and you have despised as many as he hath sent. This contempt of the Lord’s messengers is made the proximate cause of God’s wrath coming upon this people, till there was no remedy, 2 Chronicles 36:16. They said, Turn ye again now, &c. The substance, both of their and my sermons, hath been... read more

Jeremiah 25:10. Moreover, I will take from them the voice of mirth, &c. See the note on Jeremiah 7:34; Jeremiah 16:9. The sound of the millstones and the light of the candle There shall be no longer any marks of trade carried on, even respecting the common necessaries of life, such as the grinding of corn; and there will be no use of candles, where the inhabitants are dispersed and destroyed; nor will there be occasion for such illuminations as are usual on festival solemnities, in... read more
