耶利米书 14:7-9 CUVS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-10

The Lesson of The Great Droughts (Jeremiah 14:1-10 ). As a preliminary warning of what is coming YHWH sends a great drought on Judah with the result that the cisterns are empty, the springs are dry, the pastures are bare and the ground is parched and cracked. Of course according to their then current theology it was Baal who should have ensured the supplies of rain as a result of their ritual antics before him, for he was the god of rain and storm, but they recognise that he had failed them,... read more

Section 5. The Word Concerning The Droughts: The Certainty Of Exile For Judah (Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 17:27 ). The new section is again introduced by the words ‘The word of YHWH which came to Jeremiah --’ (Jeremiah 14:1) although in slightly altered form (literally ‘that which came, the word of YHWH, to Jeremiah’). “The word concerning the droughts” gives illustrative evidence confirming that the impending judgment of Judah cannot be turned aside by any prayers or entreaties, and that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:7-9

The People Cry To YHWH In Their Distress (Jeremiah 14:7-9 ). Things had come to such a pass with the effects of the droughts that the people began to visit the Temple in droves and call on YHWH. Of course, it had not been so to begin with. They had initially engaged in their usual antics in the high places on the mountains and in the cities, offering incense and seeking to stimulate the gods with their sexual activities, being confident that they would receive a response. But year after year... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 15:9 . The Drought in Judah, and Jeremiah’ s consequent Intercession.— The date of this disaster is unknown, but some year in the latter half of Jehoiakim’ s reign is most probable. The effects of the drought are graphically described in Jeremiah 14:2-Joshua :. The personified “ gates” represent the people who gather at them in mourning attire and attitude (“ sit in black upon the ground” ; cf. Jeremiah 8:21, Jeremiah 13:18). The empty pits are dried-up storage... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 14:7

The prophet having described their misery, both in the cause of it, the drought for want of rain, and the effects of it, he applieth himself to that God who he knew was he who alone could give the former and the latter rain; confessing that their sins and backslidings were very many, and testified against them that they had deserved God’s severe scourge, and God was righteous in what of this nature he had done against them. But yet, saith he, do thou it; that is, do thou what we desire, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 14:8

O the hope of Israel; that is, the object of Israel’s hope, he in whom alone thy people Israel have been wont to hope, or he in whom alone Israel hath just reason to hope. The saviour thereof in time of trouble; thou who hast formerly been their Saviour in the times of their trouble, or who alone canst save them in such times of trouble as thou hast now brought them into. See Psalms 9:9; Psalms 46:1. Why shouldst thou be as one that regardest thy ancient people no more than a stranger or a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 14:9

Astonied; the Hebrew word here used being found in no place of holy writ but this, hath given interpreters a liberty to translate it variously, sleepy, weak, astonished, frighted, like a man in such disorder, through some great passions, that he is able to do nothing. As a mighty man that cannot save; like a man who in his own nature is strong and mighty enough, but through sickness or passion is so weakened, that he cannot put forth any strength for the succour and relief of his friends. Yet... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter. This and chapter 15 form one prophecy (although Lange, Keil, and others connect chapters 14 to 17, regarding them as interwoven and synchronous). From evidence of personal hardship towards Jeremiah (Jeremiah 15:10), most probably these prophecies were delivered during the early years of Jehoiakim’s reign. (See on chapter 7) Also for Contemporary Scriptures: National Affairs, Contemporaneous History, see chapter 7.2. Natural... read more

DISCOURSE: 1051GOD’S NAME THE SINNER’S PLEAJeremiah 14:7. O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake.PRAYER is both our duty and our privilege: and God often suffers trials to come upon his people, in order to stir them up to prayer, and to manifest himself to them in a more conspicuous manner as “a God that heareth prayer.” On some occasions, indeed, he has forbidden his people to intercede with him; as when he said to Moses, “Let me alone, that my wrath... read more

O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee; O the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save!... read more
