Jeremiah 7:24-26 NIV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 7:16-28

The Idolatry and Disobedience of the Jews v. 16. Therefore pray not thou for this people, the Lord expressly forbidding the prophet to make intercession for the reprobate nation, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee. As strong as the prayers of the righteous are in holding back the wrath of God, the time will come when they are unavailing, due to the hardness of men's hearts, which provokes the punishment of the Lord. v. 17.... read more

The Judgment Pronounced v. 29. Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, shearing it off as the sign of the deepest mourning, Jerusalem here being considered a virgin consecrated to the Lord, and cast it away and take up a lamentation on high places, on account of the uncleanness and desecration of her guilt; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath, the people against whom His indignation has been aroused, against whom His anger is burning. v. 30. For the children of... read more

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 7:21-28

Jeremiah 7:21-Hosea : . Obedience Necessary, not Sacrifice.— Yahweh scornfully tells these formal worshippers to eat even the burnt-offering (wholly offered to God), as well as the peace-offering (which was eaten by the worshippers, except the blood and portions of the fat); both are mere “ flesh,” without sacrificial value in the hands of the disobedient. In the desert days He asked for obedience, not sacrifice; but Israel has refused it, notwithstanding the continued ministry of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:24

Nor inclined their ear: it notes something of a higher degree of non-attention than bare not hearkening, viz. their not listening that they might obey what they hear, Jeremiah 7:26; Jeremiah 11:8, noting not only their slightness, but their stiffness. The imagination, or stubbornness. See Jeremiah 3:17. Went backward, and not forward, like restive beasts; see Jeremiah 2:27; a sign of their contempt; implying either, 1. They were worse by their admonitions and corrections, and so nothing did... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:25

God seems to upbraid them with their stock, they came of a perverse kind, their very fathers were so before them, and they have continued in their perverseness, Nehemiah 9:16,Nehemiah 9:17; they did not now begin to be rebellious, but it had been their practice all along; never ceasing from the time their fathers came out of Egypt to the days of Jeremiah. I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets; God tells them what care he had taken to inform them in their duty and happiness, not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 7:26

Their fathers had done bad enough, but they were so far from reforming, that they did worse than their fathers, Judges 2:19, Jeremiah 9:3; and whereas he had said before your fathers, now changing the person he saith their fathers, as it were in great displeasure turning away from them to the prophet, as one speaking, but in vain, to such a stupid people. read more
