Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 7:1-34

3. THE THIRD DISCOURSEChaps. 7–10The time of this discourse may be determined pretty accurately, since Jeremiah 26:0. gives us information concerning the historical circumstances in which the discourse was delivered. We learn from it that in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim Jeremiah received from Jehovah the commission to place himself in the fore-court of the temple, and to announce to all the Jews who had come to worship (comp. Jeremiah 26:2 with Jeremiah 7:2) that if they continued to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

With this section the second movement in commissioning the prophet commences. It deals first with the sins of worship. These are first denounced. At the gate of the Temple the prophet rebuked the people for putting their trust in external things, and told them that their true safety lay in amending their ways. He charged them with committing all manner of sin, and yet standing before God in His house, imagining that by this external act they would be delivered and set free to continue in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Subsection 3. In This Subsection Jeremiah Admonishes The People Concerning The False Confidence That They Have In The Inviolability Of The Temple, And In Their Sacrificial Ritual, And After Chiding Them, Calls On Them To Recognise The Kind Of God That They Are Dealing With (Jeremiah 7:1 to Jeremiah 10:25 ). Commencing with what will be the standard introductory words up to chapter 25, ‘The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH --’ (Jeremiah 7:1; compare Jeremiah 11:1; Jeremiah 14:1; Jeremiah... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:16-28

YHWH Explains To Jeremiah Why He Sees His People As Having Gone Beyond What Was Acceptable, And What The Consequences Must Inevitably Be, Because They Have Constantly Refused To Hear His Voice (Jeremiah 7:16-28 ). Jeremiah was called on no longer to pray for the people of Judah because there was no longer any possibility that such a prayer would be heard (compare Jeremiah 14:11; and note Jeremiah 18:19-23). And the reason for that was because of their total addiction to idolatrous worship,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:16-20

Jeremiah 7:16-Proverbs : . The Worship of Astarte.— The prophet is forbidden to intercede for a people who are even now worshipping other gods, to their own deserved ruin. The cult (p. 99) described in Jeremiah 7:18 (and more fully in Jeremiah 44:15-Amos :) is that of Ashtoreth (Astarte), “ the queen of heaven” , i.e. the planet Venus, who was worshipped under the name of Ishtar by the Babylonians ( 1 Kings 11:5 *). A similar offering of cakes (p. 99) by women to the Virgin Mary, practised... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:17

q.d. How canst thou pass along the streets but thou must needs be an eye witness of their abominations, to thy no small trouble and sorrow? as Sodom was to Lot, 2 Peter 2:8; therefore how canst thou plead with me on their behalf? How canst thou either pray for them, or I pity them? In the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; in city and country. See Jeremiah 2:28; Jeremiah 11:13. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:18

Here God shows how busily they are employed from the youngest to the oldest, and how industrious for their idolatry, Jeremiah 44:1-7; see Matthew 24:38; every one in the family doth somewhat towards it. The children gather wood, or sticks; for the word is plural, and so used Numbers 15:32,Numbers 15:33; an employment, if we understand small sticks, proper for children; if greater wood, suitable to youth, who excel in strength, and may be understood by children and young ones. The fathers kindle... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES. 1. Chronology of the chapter. Keil regards chaps. 7 to 10 as later addresses, delivered during Josiah’s reign. Bagster places an interval of merely two years between chaps. 6 and 7, dating this B.C. 610, two years before Josiah’s death. The A.V. places it ten years after Jehoiakim became king. But Dahler, Graf, Naeg., Lange, Hend., and Dr. Payne Smith identify this chapter with chap. 26. (cf. the corresponding verses, Jeremiah 7:2; Jeremiah 7:13-14, with Jeremiah... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Chapter 7So chapter 7. King Josiah, who was reigning at the beginning of Jeremiah's ministry, in the eighteenth year of his reign, ordered the temple restored. It had fallen into disrepair. It sort of lay in ruins. They had in the outer courts built altars unto Baal and unto Molech, and they had forsaken the worship of God, of the Lord in the temple for years. So Josiah now ordered that the temple be restored and he gave to Hilkiah, the high priest, a great sum of money that he might hire... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 7:1-34

Jeremiah 7:2 . Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and call the people to repentance by arguments arrayed in all the glory and force of truth. This was the chief gate of entrance. The temple had three gates on the north, and three on the south. The character of these addresses, Dr. Dahler thinks, associate with the degenerate times of Jehoiakim. Jeremiah 7:4 . Trust ye not in lying words, muttered daily by the false prophets, saying, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord,... read more
