Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Jeremiah 4:14

DISCOURSE: 1037IMPORTANCE OF SUPPRESSING VAIN THOUGHTSJeremiah 4:14. O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved: how long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?THE displeasure of God is never raised to such a height, but that he is willing to pardon his offending creatures, and longs for their repentance on purpose that he may exercise his mercy towards them. The denunciations of his wrath do indeed frequently appear as if they could not be reversed: but they... read more

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

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-18

THE CALL TO RETURN, Jeremiah 4:1-18. The chapter-division here, as in the last instance, is peculiarly unfortunate. There is the closest relation between the concluding verses of the preceding chapter and the beginning of this. The words contained in the first two verses of the present chapter are Jehovah’s answer to the words of shame and penitence in the last verse of the preceding, and cannot be fully appreciated except this relation is kept in mind. read more
