エレミヤ書 10:18 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 10:17-25

In these verses, I. The prophet threatens, in God's name, the approaching ruin of Judah and Jerusalem, Jer. 10:17, 18. The Jews that continued in their own land, after some were carried into captivity, were very secure; they thought themselves inhabitants of a fortress; their country was their strong hold, and, in their own conceit, impregnable; but they are here told to think of leaving it: they must prepare to go after their brethren, and pack up their effects in expectation of it: ?Gather... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 10:18

For thus saith the Lord ,.... This is a reason enforcing the exhortation in the preceding verse, and shows that the same people that are spoken of here are addressed there. Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once ; meaning the inhabitants of the land of Judea; or otherwise the prophet would never have expressed such a concern for them as he does in the following verse. Their captivity is signified by the slinging of a stone out of a sling, and shows how sudden,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:18

I will sling out the inhabitants of the land - I will project you with violence from your country. I will send you all into captivity. This discourse, from Jeremiah 10:17 , is supposed to have been delivered in the eleventh year of Jehoiakim. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 10:18

Verse 18 Then follows the reason, For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will with a sling cast out the inhabitants of the land Land here is to be taken in another sense, even for the whole country. Wherever then the Jews dwelt, the Lord, says the Prophet, will draw them forth, yea, east them out as with a sling. We now then see that the vengeance which the Jews despised is denounced on them, because they remained securely in their own delusions; and what still more provoked God’s wrath, they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:17-18

Wherefore God doth judge the world. It is not of the world at large, but of Judah and Jerusalem, that the prophet is here speaking. But nevertheless the judgments of God and the design wherewith they were sent, though having reference only to one people, are true examples of all like judgments, whenever, wherever, and however they come. Therefore note— I. THE JUDGMENTS FORETOLD . The people are to be driven forth into exile and captivity. The whole book tells of their sorrows.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:17-22

This passage connects itself immediately with Jeremiah 9:1-26 ; where the invasion of Judah and the dispersion of its inhabitants have been foretold. Here, after describing dramatically the departure of the latter into exile, the prophet reports a distinct revelation of the same fact, so that this can no longer be assumed to be mere imaginative rhetoric. The Jewish people is then introduced, lamenting her sad fate, but expressing resignation. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 10:18

I will sling out ; a forcible image, to express the violence of the expulsion; comp. Isaiah 22:17 , Isaiah 22:18 ( Isaiah 22:17 needs correcting). At this once ; rather, at this time (comp. Jeremiah 16:21 ). Invasion was no novelty to the Jews, but had hitherto merely produced loss of goods rather than of personal liberty. That they may find it so ; better, that they may feel it . Others supply as. the subject "Jehovah," comparing Psalms 32:6 , "In a time of finding.... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 10:18

Sling out - A similar metaphor for violent ejection occurs in Isaiah 22:18 (see the note).At this once - Or, “at this time.” Previous invasions had ended either in deliverance, or at most in temporary misfortune. God’s long-suffering is exhausted, and this time Judaea must cease to be an independent nation.That they may find it so - Omit “so,” and explain either(1) “I will distress them” with the rigors of a siege “that they may feel it, i. e., the distress; or,(2) “that they may find” Me, God,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:17-18

Jeremiah 10:17-18. Gather up thy wares, &c. That is, as some explain it, “Collect to Jerusalem all that you have valuable in the country; flee thither for refuge with your best effects; for the enemy will soon extend himself over all your land, and render it desolate.” Or, rather, the prophet, returning to his former denunciations against Jerusalem, warns her to move her effects, and prepare for going into captivity; for, though she thought herself secure, as dwelling in a place of... read more
