Jeremiah 4:23 NASB,NIV

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:1-31

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 4:1-31

The Pleadings of God Jeremiah 4:0 The people had just said they would return, for they were tired of their evil ways. They had been looking to the hills for salvation, and no salvation came; they had turned their eyes to the multitude of mountains, and found them to be utterly barren of hope. The Lord had told them this, and they had confirmed it by much experience of a painful kind. The people said: "We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 4:23-31

There is somewhat uncommonly solemn and striking, when the Lord by his servants, as in many parts of scripture, calls upon the heavenly bodies, and the inanimate parts of nature, to lament by their appearances, the degeneracy and rebellion of his people. The weeping of the clouds, and the blushing of the sun, are strong figures to this amount. Isaiah 1:2 ; Deuteronomy 32:1 . What a gracious and affectionate appeal, the Lord makes in the close of this Chapter. When thou art spoiled what wilt... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:19-31

19-31 The prophet had no pleasure in delivering messages of wrath. He is shown in a vision the whole land in confusion. Compared with what it was, every thing is out of order; but the ruin of the Jewish nation would not be final. Every end of our comforts is not a full end. Though the Lord may correct his people very severely, yet he will not cast them off. Ornaments and false colouring would be of no avail. No outward privileges or profession, no contrivances would prevent destruction. How... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 4:19-31

The Desolation Following the Lord's Judgment. The prophet here, in a most dramatic manner, introduces Israel as lamenting over the calamity which has struck the nation. v. 19. My bowels, my bowels! the whole inner part of the man quaking with terror. I am pained at my very heart! or, I feel the pain of a severe cramp the chambers of my heart! My heart maketh a noise in me, moaning with the severity of the affliction; I cannot hold my peace because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of... read more

4. THE CALL TO RETURN IN THE PRESENTJeremiah 4:1-41 If thou returnest, O Israel, saith Jehovah,Return unto Me.And if thou puttest away thine abominations out of my sight,Then waver not,12 But swear ‘As Jehovah liveth!’In truth and justice and righteousness,So that the nations bless themselves in him,2And boast of him.3 For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and Jerusalem,Break up your fallow-ground3And sow not among thorns.4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,And take away... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Jehovah immediately promised that if Israel would return, she would be established. Then the prophet declared that judgment was determined on. He appealed to the people to repent, and that not in external manifestation, but actually and in heart. The people are described as panic-stricken because of the imminent peril. In a parenthesis (verse Jer 4:1 o), the prophet's anguish is revealed as he sees the judgment falling. Nevertheless he continued his message, and described the swift attack of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Subsection 2). YHWH’s Solemn Warning To Judah In The Days Of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 6:30 ). This section can be divided into four parts: · Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 4:2. Israel is held up as an example to Judah, both of faithlessness and of hope for the future. For because of what they had done Israel were in exile, and were ashamed of their ways, but if only they would turn to Him in their exile they would be restored. For them there was hope. It was very different with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:3-31

YHWH Warns Judah That If They Will Not Repent For Them Too Invasion By A Fierce Adversary Is Threatening And Will Undoubtedly Come Because Of Their Sins (Jeremiah 4:3-31 ). If Judah will not respond to the example provided by Israel, and the glowing picture of hope for the future offered to them, they too will experience invasion and go through a similar experience. They are thus called on to repent accompanied with the warning of what will happen to them if they do not. They will suffer an... read more
