エレミヤ書 22:13-30 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:23

O inhabitant —rather, O inhabitress— of Lebanon . It is the people of Jerusalem which is meant; the "Lebanon" are the palaces of cedar-wood which together are called" the house of the King of Judah" ( Jeremiah 22:6 ). How gracious shalt thou be ; rather, How wilt thou sigh! read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:24

Coniah . A shorter form of Jeconiah ( 1 Chronicles 3:1 ), found again in Jeremiah 37:1 . Perhaps this was the name this king bore prior to his accession, after which it was certainly Jehoiachin; Jeremiah has already spoken of one king by his earlier name in verse 11. The Divine speaker solemnly announces that though, as the representative of Israel's invisible King, Coniah were —or rather, be— the signet upon his right hand (a most valued jewel), yet would—or rather, will —he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:26

Cast thee out . The Hebrew is stronger—"hurl thee" (comp. Isaiah 22:17 , Hebrew). And thy mother ; i.e. the queen-mother Nehushta (comp. Jeremiah 29:2 ; 2 Kings 24:8 ). She seems to have been particularly influential (see introduction to Jeremiah 13:1-27 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:28

Is this man Coniah , etc.? The prophet's human feelings are stirred; he cannot withhold his sympathy from the sad fate of his king. What! he exclaims; is it possible that this Coniah is treated as a piece of ill-wrought pottery ware (comp. Jeremiah 18:4 ), and "hurled" into a strange land? He and his seed . These words have caused some difficulty, owing to the youth, of Jehoiachin. According to 2 Kings 24:8 he was only eighteen when he was carried captive, while 2 Chronicles 36:9 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:29

The impassioned cry of God to man. This cry, "O earth, earth, earth ," etc; sounds out like the alarm of fire, or some bitter cry of distress. It startles by its earnestness, arrests and demands attention, and compels us to inquire into its cause. Note, therefore— I. THE OCCASION OF IT . This will show us what word of the Lord's is meant. It was wrung out from the prophet's heart by the sight of the calamities now so swiftly coming upon his beloved land. To think of that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:30

Write ye this man childless ; i.e. enter him in the register of the citizens (comp. Isaiah 4:3 ) as one who has no heirs. He may have children, but none of them shall succeed to his place in the community. This is all that the passage means; there is no discrepancy with history: how should there be, when Jeremiah himself has mentioned the posterity of Jehoiachin? Yet the Septuagint thought it necessary to avoid the appearance of such a discrepancy by rendering, not "childless," but "one... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:13

Far worse is the second example. Shallum was no heartless tyrant like Jehoiakim, who lived in splendor amid the misery of the nation, and perished so little cared for that his body was cast aside without burial.His chambers - Really, his upper chambers. From the absence of machinery the raising of materials for the upper stories was a difficult task, especially when massive stones were used.His work - Giveth him not his wages. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:15

i. e., Will thy buildings make thy reign continue? These words imply that Jehoiakim was looking forward to, and taking measures to secure, a long continuance of power (compare Habakkuk 2:9-13. If so, Jeremiah probably wrote this prophecy before Jehoiakim revolted 2 Kings 24:1; and it, therefore, probably belongs to the same date as Jeremiah 36:30, written in the interval between Nebuchadnezzars first conquest of Jerusalem, and Jehoiakim’s rebellion, and when Jeremiah was out of the reach of the... read more
