エレミヤ書 13:15-27 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 13:12-21

Here is, I. A judgment threatened against this people that would quite intoxicate them. This doom is pronounced against them in a figure, to make it the more taken notice of and the more affecting (Jer. 13:12): Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, every bottle shall be filled with wine; that is, those that by their sins have made themselves vessels of wrath fitted to destruction shall be filled with the wrath of God as a bottle is with wine; and, as every vessel of mercy prepared for glory shall... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 13:22-27

Here is, I. Ruin threatened as before, that the Jews shall go into captivity, and fall under all the miseries of beggary and bondage, shall be stripped of their clothes, their skirts discovered for want of upper garments to cover them, and their heels made bare for want of shoes, Jer. 13:22. Thus they used to deal with prisoners taken in war, when they drove them into captivity, naked and barefoot, Isa. 20:4. Being thus carried off into a strange country, they shall be scattered there, as the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:15

Hear ye, and give ear ,.... Both to what goes before, and what follows after. The words doubled denote the closest and strictest attention: be not proud ; haughty, scornful, as above all instruction, and needing no advice and counsel, self-conceited, despising the word of God, and his messages by his prophets; or, "do not lift up yourselves" F24 אל תגבהו "ne elevetis vos", Montanus, Pagninus; "exaltetis", Junius & Tremellius. ; above others, and against God: for the Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:16

Give glory to the Lord your God ,.... By confessing sin unto him; by humiliation for it before him; by believing what he says, hearkening to his word, and obeying his commands, and living to his honour and glory; see Joshua 7:19 , especially by believing in Christ, the true God, and true Messiah, embracing his Gospel, and his ordinances: before he cause darkness ; before the Lord brings on the dark dispensation threatened, the calamity before spoken of; repent while space is given,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:17

But if ye will not hear it ,.... The advice and exhortation now given, to repent of sin, be humble before God, and glorify him: my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride ; he would no more act in a public character; but, laying aside his office as a prophet and public instructor, would retire to some corner, where he might not be seen or heard, and there lament the sins of the people, particularly their "pride", which had been the cause of their ruin; or mourn on account of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:18

Say unto the king, and to the queen ,.... Jehoiachin, and his mother Nehushta, as it is generally interpreted by the Jewish commentators, and others; who, with many princes and officers, were carried captive into Babylon, 2 Kings 24:12 or rather Zedekiah and his wife; since the captivity after threatened is a perfect and complete one, which Jehoiachin's was not: humble yourselves, sit down ; or, "sit down humbled" F4 השפילו שבו "degite humiliter", Castalio; "abjectissime... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:19

The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them ,.... Meaning the cities of Judah, which lay in the southern part of the land of Israel, and to the south of Babylon; which might be said to be shut up, and not in the power of any to open, when besieged by the Chaldean army; or rather when destroyed, that there were none to go in and out; though some think the cities of Egypt are intended, which lay south of Judea, from whence the Jews should not have the relief they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:20

Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north ,.... There are a Keri and a Cetib of the words "lift up" and "behold"; they are written in the singular number, and may be considered as directed to the king, as the words following are; and they are read in the plural number, the state and whole body of the people being called upon to observe the Chaldean army, which came from the north; and is represented as on the march, just at hand to invade, besiege, take, and carry them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:21

What will thou say when he shall punish thee ?.... Or, "visit upon thee" F6 כי יפקד עליך "quando visitabit super te"; Cocceius; "quum visitaverit super te", Schmidt. ; that is, either when God shall punish thee for thy sins, thou canst bring no charge of injustice against him, or murmur and repine at the punishment inflicted on thee; so Jarchi; to which agrees the Targum, "when he shall visit on thee thy sin;' or else, to which the following words seem to incline, when the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:22

And if thou say in thine heart ,.... Not daring to express it with the mouth; and which, notwithstanding, God, that knows the heart, was privy to, and could discern all the secret workings of it; putting such a question as this: wherefore come these things upon me ? all these calamities, the invasion and siege of the enemy, famine, sword, captivity, &c.;: the answer returned is, for the greatness of thine iniquity ; the enormous crimes the Jews were guilty of, such as idolatry,... read more
