耶利米書 5:3 CUNPTS

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 5:3

Jeremiah 5:3 I. Who is the rebel here spoken of? To rebel is properly to renew warfare. In this its original meaning the word "rebel" is applicable to every sinner. The war between man and his God was ended once for all when Christ suffered. Therefore, whosoever sins, also rebels renews a finished war, and breaks an established reconciliation.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 5:1-31

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 5:1-31

Jeremiah 5:2 . Though they say the Lord liveth, surely they swear falsely. These words being in every one’s mouth, are but words, not sentiments.

Jeremiah 5:4 . Therefore I said, surely these are poor; they are foolish I will address myself to the great and the learned. Here the prophet found the same... read more

Jeremiah 5:3-8O Lord, are not Thine eyes upon the truth? TruthfulnessThe allusion is not to doctrinal truth, or truth in the abstract, but to practical truth as it should exist in the hearts and lives of men. The Lord bade them produce a single truthful man in all Jerusalem, and Jeremiah answers that if truth were to be found the Lord Himself best knew where it was, for His eyes were ever upon it. Look well at this picture of the progress of the deceitful. They begin with being dishonest to... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 5:3

3. Upon the truth This phrase stands over against the term “falsely,” in the preceding verse. If there is not first honesty, no other virtue is possible. Even the oath of fealty of those who are false at heart is an abomination. read more
