エレミヤ書 8:5-6 JC

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 8:5

By a perpetual backsliding: either a universal backsliding; or rather, obstinately resolved to hold on, though they see they are out of the way; not out of levity or inconsiderateness. The Hebrew word signifies strength, the same used Psalms 13:1, and translated for ever, implying a strong, stiff, stout refusal. See Isaiah 57:17; Jeremiah 5:3. Deceit: either their injustice and cozenages in circumventing one another, which was so frequent among them, Jeremiah 9:4-6; Micah 7:3,Micah 7:4; or... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 8:6

And heard, i.e. that I might hear; the words rather of God than of the prophet, which the continuance of the speech seems to show in the next verse, in the close whereof it is plain that God speaks, expressing himself after the manner of men, who are wont to listen diligently after the things they are very desirous of. See 1 Kings 20:33; Malachi 3:16. Not aright; or, not so, as the LXX., and the word is thus used, Exodus 10:11; Psalms 1:4; not so as I would have had them; so far from... read more

DISCOURSE: 1041EXPOSTULATION WITH THE IMPENITENTJeremiah 8:4-8. Thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not arise? Shall he turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse, to return. I hearkened and heard; but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What hare I done? Every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. Yea, the... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Jeremiah 8:6

What Have I Done? December 27, 1857 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "What have I done?" Jeremiah 8:6 . Perhaps no figure represents God in a more gracious light than those figures of speech, which represent him as stooping from his throne, and as coming down from heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. We must have love for that God, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were reeking with iniquity, would not destroy those cities, although he knew their guilt and their... read more

Chapter 8At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants, out of their graves: And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 8:1-22

Jeremiah 8:1-2 . At that time they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah of the princes of the priests, and the bones (as in the Chaldaic) of the false prophets. They shall spread them before the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets, the gods they have adored, gods which now could neither pity nor save. Oh barbarous insults of a wanton soldiery! The cause of those depredations was not malice against the dead, but conformably to ancient usages, and the hope of finding... read more

Jeremiah 8:4-7Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding.A great evil and an urgent questionI. A great evil. “Backsliding.”1. It is an evil in its nature; it is a great sin against God, involving the basest ingratitude, the abuse of the greatest mercies, and the violation of the most solemn vows.2. It is an evil in its influence.(1) Upon self. It arrests the progress of the soul, darkens its prospects, curtails its liberty, and destroys its usefulness.(2) Upon... read more

Jeremiah 8:5They hold fast deceit.On the deceitfulness of the heart in stifling convictionsThese words, as immediately referring to the people of Judah, might denote their preposterous confidence in the assistance of neighbouring nations, or in the testimony of their false prophets, who assured them of peace and prosperity, notwithstanding all God’s declarations to the contrary; and their refusal to return to Him in that way which He had enjoined, by faith in His pardoning mercy through the... read more
