Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:6

6. :-, is a new discourse, delivered in Josiah's reign. It consists of two parts, the former extending to :-, in which he warns Judah from the example of Israel's doom, and yet promises Israel final restoration; the latter a threat of Babylonian invasion; as Nabopolassar founded the Babylonian empire, 625 B.C., the seventeenth of Josiah, this prophecy is perhaps not earlier than that date (Jeremiah 4:5; Jeremiah 5:14; Jeremiah 6:1; Jeremiah 22:1-30); and probably not later than the second... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:8

8. I saw that, though (whereas) it was for this very reason (namely), because backsliding (apostate) Israel had committed adultery I had put her away (2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 17:18), and given her a bill of divorce, yet Judah, c. (2 Kings 17:18- :, &c.). bill of divorce—literally, "a writing of cuttings off." The plural implies the completeness of the severance. The use of this metaphor here, as in the former discourse (2 Kings 17:18- :), implies a close connection between the discourses. The... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:9

9. it—Some take this verse of Judah, to whom the end of :- refers. But Jeremiah 3:10 puts Judah in contrast to Israel in this verse. "Yet for all this," referring to the sad example of Israel; if Jeremiah 3:9 referred to Judah, "she" would have been written in Jeremiah 3:9- :, not "Judah." Translate, "It (the putting away of Israel) had come to pass through . . . whoredom; and (that is, for) she (Israel) had defiled the land" &c. [MAURER].

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:11

11. justified herself—has been made to appear almost just (that is, comparatively innocent) by the surpassing guilt of Judah, who adds hypocrisy and treachery to her sin; and who had the example of Israel to warn her, but in vain (compare Ezekiel 16:51; Ezekiel 23:11). more than—in comparison with. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 3:1-25

Aspects of false religion 7:1-8:3All the messages in this section deal with departure from the Lord in religious practices, either in pagan rites or in the perversion of the proper worship of Yahweh that the Mosaic Law specified. All the material in this section fits conditions in Judah after 609 B.C., when Jehoiakim began allowing a return to pagan practices after the end of Josiah’s reforms. Another feature of this section is the large amount of prose material it contains, much more than the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 3:6

Yahweh previously had a conversation with Jeremiah along the same lines that took place during the reign of King Josiah (between 627 and 609 B.C.). This section may have been a shorter oracle that the writer used to compose the final written sermon. The Lord asked the prophet if he had observed that the Northern Kingdom of Israel had been guilty of flagrant spiritual prostitution. He described the Northern Kingdom as "faithless Israel," literally "Apostasy (Heb. meshuba) Israel" (cf. Jeremiah... read more
