エレミヤ書 14:11-12 JCB

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter. This and chapter 15 form one prophecy (although Lange, Keil, and others connect chapters 14 to 17, regarding them as interwoven and synchronous). From evidence of personal hardship towards Jeremiah (Jeremiah 15:10), most probably these prophecies were delivered during the early years of Jehoiakim’s reign. (See on chapter 7) Also for Contemporary Scriptures: National Affairs, Contemporaneous History, see chapter 7.2. Natural... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Chapter 14The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the deaRuth ( Jeremiah 14:1 ).For a drought filled the land.Judah mourns, and the gates languish; they are black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. And their nobles have sent their little ones to the water holes: they came to the water holes, and found no water; so they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and they covered their heads. Because the ground is chapt, for there was no... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Jeremiah 14:3 . They found no water. The latter rain had been denied, as in Jeremiah 3:3; and as Moses had foretold. Deuteronomy 11:17; Deuteronomy 28:23. Jeremiah, as is the duty of all ministers, improved this event of terror and affliction. Jeremiah 14:6 . The wild asses did stand in the high places. See on Job 6:5. They snuffed the wind like dragons, when parched with heat. Elian, by dragons, understands the larger species of serpents. Jeremiah 14:7 . Though our iniquities... read more

Jeremiah 14:12When they fast, I will not hear their cry. Pasting rendered offensiveI. Pious demeanour is not what God desires, but faith.1. God abominates a double and false heart; and the greater the fervour hypocrites display in external rites, the more they provoke Him.2. Fasting is observed as giving intensity to prayer.3. They who fast professedly avow that they deprecate God’s disfavour.4. But God values not outward appearance.II. Fasting is not in itself a religious duty, but a mere... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 14:12

Jer 14:12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. Ver. 12. When they fast I will not hear their cry. ] At their fasts they were wont to pray earnestly, and to make their voices to be heard on high. Sed defuit aliquid intas; their hearts cried not. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:12

12. I will not hear… not accept Because their prayers were not real or not reasonable. In the case of many they were merely selfish cryings out against the consequences of sin rather than the sin itself; and in the case of others, though penitence was genuine, it came too late to avert the temporal calamity. read more
