Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:9-15

Jeremiah Is Called Once More To Sift Jerusalem For Righteous Men And His Response Demonstrates That He Is Despairing Of Ever Finding One As He Sums Up Their Fallen State And Calls On YHWH To Fulfil His Judgment On Them (Jeremiah 6:9-15 ). In view of the coming thorough gleaning of the remnant of Israel, the gathering up by the invaders of the remains of what was once a fruitful vine, the call comes to Jeremiah from YHWH to check out the grapes in the baskets, presumably to take out those... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:9-15

Jeremiah 6:9-Ezra : . The Justification of Yahweh’ s Wrath.— The turn of Judah, the “ remnant of Israel” , is now come, and Yahweh bids the foe, figured as a grape-gatherer at work on the vine (see on Jeremiah 2:21) to do his work thoroughly ( Jeremiah 6:9 mg.) . The prophet complains that the ears of the people are closed to his word, yet he cannot hold it back ( Jeremiah 20:9), and will pour it out (so LXX) even on the playing children and the irresponsible youth. Calamity falls on all... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 6:11

Therefore. Heb. And; which seems to be a better connexion; for that which putteth him upon this work seems rather to be that Spirit of prophecy that is in him than any consideration drawn from them. I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am, as it were, filled with the fire of God’s wrath and curses against this people, which I am forced to discharge myself of; a metonymy of the subject. See Ezekiel 3:3; Jeremiah 4:19. He doth not only complain of their stupidity, as in the former verse, but... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 6:1-30

Chapter 5Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places, if you can find a man, if there be any that is executing judgment, and that is seeking truth; and I will pardon it ( Jeremiah 5:1 ).If you can find one man.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 6:1-30

Jeremiah 6:1 . Oh ye children of Benjamin flee out of the midst of Jerusalem. Many of this tribe lived in the city. Blow the trumpet [of alarm] in Tekoa, a village twelve miles from Jerusalem, according to Jerome. Kindle the beacon on Beth-haccerem; that is, the house of the vine; but tower is understood. It was a village, situate on one of the most conspicuous hills between Tekoa and Jerusalem. The prophet openly declared his ever- speaking vision; he would not have the blood of the... read more
