Jeremiah 5:25 NLT,NIV,ESV

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:20-31

Jeremiah 5:20-Obadiah : . Let Evil-doers Fear Yahweh.— The folly of not fearing Yahweh is rebuked by a reminder of the power of Him who has set an impassable limit even to the sea ( cf. the rebuke of Job’ s presumption by the description of Nature as Yahweh’ s work, Job 38-41). Because they have not feared Him who gives the regular rains (the “ former” in October, the “ latter” in March-April), and the resultant harvest ( Jeremiah 5:24), they have lost these gifts. Punishment is brought down... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 5:25

Your iniquities have turned away these things: q.d. Do not say your ground is parched up with drought, or your fruits are corrupted and rotted by too much or unseasonable rain; we have nothing now in so due a course as we were wont to have it. Would you know the reason of it? You have inverted the ordinances and order of nature, have put heaven and earth out of their regular courses, by your iniquities. Your sins have withholden good things from you; that either you have been cut short of these... read more

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

You remember when the angels were going down to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham said, "Hey, Lord, shall not the God of the earth be fair? Would you destroy the righteous with the people? What if there are fifty righteous people... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 5:20-25

Jeremiah 5:20-25O foolish people, and without understanding.God’s judgment of self-willThe text is part of a message which was to be declared in the house of Jacob, and published in Israel. It shows that three results were produced by self-assertion against the rule of God; will the same cause produce the same effect? Let us see the results of self-will as shown in the text, and compare them with the testimony of our own experience.I. Self-will in relation to the Divine government destroys the... read more
