エレミヤ書 3:6-14 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:13

This condition of restoration to favor . Israel is to acknowledge , or perceive, notice, recognize, her guilt. And hast scattered thy ways ; alluding to that "gadding about" in quest of foreign alliances, reproved in the preceding chapter ( Jeremiah 2:36 ). Comp. "interlacing her ways," Jeremiah 2:23 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:14

Turn, O backsliding children . There is a play upon words, or rather upon senses, in the original, "Turn, ye turned away ones" (comp. Jeremiah 3:12 ). To whom is this addressed? To the Israelites in the narrower sense, for there is nothing to indicate a transition. Long as they have been removed from the paternal hearth, they are still "sons." For I am married unto you . The same Hebrew phrase occurs in Jeremiah 31:32 . Its signification has been a subject of dispute. From the supposed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:14

(second clause, "and I will take you," etc .). Religious individualism. I. BY NATURE MEN LIVE SEPARATE , INDIVIDUAL LIVES . Man is social, yet he is personal. 1. Each soul has its own personality, separate from that of every other soul by immeasurable oceans. Sympathy unites souls, but does not destroy this individuality of being. Each soul has its own secret life, and the deeper the spiritual experience is the more lonely, hidden, and incommunicable will it be.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:14

Married to God. "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you." I. THIS SEEMS AN INCREDIBLE STATEMENT . Had it been spoken of angels, or of unfallen man, or of eminent saints, it would have been more easy of belief. But it is of men desperately wicked, and to such, that God says, "I am married unto you ." What infinite condescension and love! II. BUT NEVERTHELESS IT IS TRUE . For: 1. We have the marriage lines, the record of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:6

Backsliding Israel - The original is very strong: Hast thou seen Apostasy? i. e., Israel: as though Israel were the very personificatiom of the denial of God.She is gone up - Rather, she goes; it is her habitual practice. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:7

Or, “And I said (i. e., within myself), After she has done all these things, she will return to me.” But she did not return.Treacherous - literally, “Falsehood,” i. e., false, faithless. The character of the two sisters is plainly marked. Samaria is apostate; she abandons Yahweh’s worship altogether. Judah maintains the form only; her secret desires are set upon the orgies of pagan worship. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:8

Rather, “And I saw” that because apostate “Israel” had “committed adultery, I had put her away, and given her” the writing of her divorcement, “yet” false “Judah her sister feared not.”...The expression, “For all the causes whereby,” is probably the actual formula with which writings of divorcement commenced. read more

Lightness - Others render as in the margin.Defiled - Rather, profaned. The land especially consecrated to Yahweh’s service was treated by Judah as a common land. read more

Her treacherous sister Judith - These words are a sort of refrain, thrice Jeremiah 3:7-8, Jeremiah 3:10 repeated before God finally pronounces Judah more culpable than Israel. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:11

Hath justified herself - Judah had had the benefit of the warning given by Israel’s example. Both abandon Yahweh’s service for idolatry, but Israel is simply “apostate,” Judah is also false.The verse is important,(1) as accounting for the destruction of Jerusalem so soon after the pious reign of Josiah. Manasseh’s crimes had defiled the land, but it was by rejecting the reforms of Josiah that the people finally profaned it, and sealed their doom:(2) As showing that it is not by the acts of its... read more
