エレミヤ書 4:1 JCB

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Chapter 4But if you will return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away thine abominations out of my sight, then you will no longer be [moved or] removed. And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth ( Jeremiah 4:1-2 ),It won't just be saying it as a phrase. And the people were still saying, "Oh, the Lord lives. Praise the Lord, the Lord lives!" But it was meaningless. Just like a lot of people today who go around saying, "Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!" It's... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Jeremiah 4:3 . Break up your fallow ground. Hebrews ניר nir, novale; make new land, eradicate the thorns. Hosea 10:12. Our old phrase, the fallow deer, seems to give the exact import of the word. The deer that strays in the wilds and wastes of the forest, is an emblem of the unregenerate state of man. The old rabbins used to say, that the Spirit of prophecy was a rough spirit. Truly, soft words will not break up the heart where self-love has ever slumbered, and bitter weeds have ever... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 4:1-4

Jeremiah 4:1-4If thou wilt return,. . .and if thou wilt put away thine abominations . . . then shalt thou not remove.The pleadings of GodA strange ministry is that of Almightiness. It is almightiness--almost. So we come upon a mysterious “if” in all the history of God’s administration. “If thou wilt return”--why not make them return? Here man is stronger than God. We have seen in innumerable instances how true it is that God, who can handle universes, can do nothing with the heart He has made... read more

Jer 4:1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. Ver. 1. If thou wilt return, O Israel. ] As thou seemest willing to do, and for very good reason. Jer 2:22-24 Thou art but a beaten rebel, and to stand it out with me is to no purpose; thou must either turn or burn. Neither will it help thee to return fainly, for I love truth in the inward parts, and hate hypocrisy, halting, and... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-2

1, 2. Return unto me This second “return” is a mere repetition of the former, and falls into the same relation. The protasis extends so as to include the word righteousness, making the reading of the first two verses as follows: If thou wilt return, O Israel,… wilt return unto me; saith Jehovah, and if thou wilt put away abominations from before me, and shalt not wander to and fro, and shall swear, as Jehovah liveth, in truth, and right, and uprightness: then shall the nations bless... read more
