Jeremias 44:17-Lamentações de Jeremias NVIPT

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Jeremiah 44. Denunciation of the Jewish Worship of Ishtar in Egypt.— Jeremiah points to the desolation of Judah as the experienced consequence of idolatry, notwithstanding Yahweh’ s warnings ( Jeremiah 44:1-Joshua :). Why, then, do they repeat the offence, forgetting the past? Yahweh will destroy the remnant in Egypt, leaving fugitives only ( Jeremiah 44:7-2 Chronicles :). The assembled men and women refuse to abandon the worship of Ishtar (“ the queen of heaven” , Jeremiah 7:18 *), which... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 44:17

Here is the root of all sinners’ disobedience, their resolution to please and humour themselves, not knowing how in any thing to deny themselves; hence it is that denying ourselves is by Christ made the first law or condition of his disciples. By the queen of heaven some here understand the sun, which notion is favoured from the words being of the feminine gender, which signifieth the sun in Hebrew; others reading it not the queen, but the frame of heaven, by it understanding the sun, moon, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—A considerable interval must be placed between this chapter and the two preceding, which record their arrival in Egypt; for we here find the fugitives coming together to Pathros from their different towns, so that we have to allow time for their dispersion through Egypt and settlement in widely separated cities there. Yet the address of Jeremiah assumes that he speaks to the people of the migration who have come into Egypt, and not to... read more

DISCOURSE: 1083THE IMPIETY OF UNGODLY MENJeremiah 44:16-17. As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee: but we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth.ONE would scarcely conceive it possible that human beings should be so depraved as to utter the words which we have just read. Yet, if this be not the language of men’s lips at this day, it is, to a very great extent, the language both of their hearts and lives:... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Jeremiah 44:1 . Migdol was not far from the Red sea. Exodus 14:2. It was now a great city, being in several places put first by Jeremiah, situate only twelve hundred paces from Damiette. Pathros was the district surrounding Noph or Memphis; but Cairo is built not far from the ancient Memphis. See on Isaiah 19:11. Pathros is by others called Theboid, or the country surrounding Thebes. Jeremiah 44:13 . I will punish them that dwell in Egypt. The whole land of the Egyptians, and by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 44:17

Jer 44:17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for [then] had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. Ver. 17. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth. ] Heb., We will doing do every word that hath gone... read more

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - Jeremiah 44:17

whatsoever: Jeremiah 44:25, Numbers 30:2, Numbers 30:12, Deuteronomy 23:23, Judges 11:36, Psalms 12:4, Mark 6:26 queen of heaven: or, frame of heaven. As the Sun was worshipped, not only under the name of baal shamayim "Lord of heaven," but also by that of Molech or King; it is likely also that the Moon was adored as melecheth hashshamayim "the Queen of heaven." So the Orphic hymn addressed to the Moon begins כץטי טוב , "Hear, goddess Queen." And Homer, in his Hymn to the Moon,... read more
