예레미야 21:2-14 KRV

Saved so as by fire. This chapter has been by some means put out of its proper place; for it treats of King Zedekiah, whilst in later chapters circumstances connected with the reigns of the kings who preceded him are given. But being placed here it serves to show how God's servants, despised at first, come to be honored at last. The stocks had been good enough for Jeremiah—so the last chapter tells-and his enemies had smitten him as if he were a common felon. Here we find the king and high... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:2

Nebuchadrezzar . This form predominates in Jeremiah and Daniel, and is the only form found in Ezekiel. It is, in fact, the correct way of spelling the name, which is in Babylonian Nabu-kudura-ucur , i.e. "Nebo, protect [or perhaps, 'has made'] the crown." According to all his wondrous works ; e . g . the destruction of Sennacherib, which must have occurred in the first instance to the minds of devout Jews. read more

And such as are ; rather, left which are left . (There has been an obvious error in the repetition of "and.") read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:8

A sad but common necessity. The surrender of a part to save the whole. This was the "way of life" the prophet put before the people. The way of death would be their refusal "If they would submit to the irresistible pressure of the Babylonian power, then whatever blessings were bound up in the preservation of the house of David and of the holy city would remain intact". But to resist would not merely be useless, but mischievous in the extreme. It would rouse the rage of their conquerors and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:8-10

The choice between life and death. I. THE CHOICE WAS FREE . It was left to the Jews to choose which course they would take. God has endowed every man with freedom of will, opening up to him a vast range of possibilities. All of us have opportunities for choosing life and blessedness if only we will seek them. A Divine vocation marks out for us a course which we ought to follow in preference to the fancies of our own inclination, and a Divine destiny sots us down in a certain... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:8-10

Escape for the individual among the calamities of the nation. Even amid all the thick, impending horrors indicated in the previous passage, a clear and immediate way of escape is indicated for the individual. Every one going over promptly and resolutely to the Chaldeans would be at least safe. What might be reserved for him in the future it was not proper to say. Enough for him to know that he had security for the present. He who is made safe may expect further communications of positive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 21:9

He that abideth in this city , etc. No doubt Jeremiah often gave this counsel to his fellow-citizens (comp. Jeremiah 38:1 , Jeremiah 38:17 ), and it appears from Jeremiah 38:19 ; Jeremiah 39:9 ; Jeremiah 52:15 , that many of the Jews acted in accordance with it. Falleth ; more distinctly, falleth away (as Jeremiah 37:14 , Authorized Version); i.e. goeth over to. read more

And touching the house , etc. The formula with which this section is introduced shows that it was attached to Jeremiah 21:1-7 at the same time as Jeremiah 21:8-10 , although obviously written at a much earlier period. read more
