エレミヤ書 15:12-21 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 15:10-14

Jeremiah has now returned from his public work and retired into his closet; what passed between him and his God there we have an account of in these and the following verses, which he published afterwards, to affect the people with the weight and importance of his messages to them. Here is, I. The complaint which the prophet makes to God of the many discouragements he met with in his work, Jer. 15:10. 1. He met with a great deal of contradiction and opposition. He was a man of strife and... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 15:15-21

Here, as before, we have, I. The prophet's humble address to God, containing a representation both of his integrity and of the hardships he underwent notwithstanding. It is a matter of comfort to us that, whatever ails us, we have a God to go to, before whom we may spread our case and to whose omniscience we may appeal, as the prophet here, ?O Lord! thou knowest; thou knowest my sincerity, which men are resolved they will not acknowledge; thou knowest my distress, which men disdain to take... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:12

Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? Can iron break iron, especially that which comes from the north, which was harder than the common iron; or steel, the hardest of all? though the Jews were hard as iron, they could not prevail against and overcome Jeremiah, who was made an iron pillar and brasen walls against them, Jeremiah 1:18 , and so these words are spoken for his comfort and encouragement: or they may respect the Jews and the Chaldeans; and the sense be, that the Jews,... read more

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

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price ,.... Not the prophet's substance and treasure; for it does not appear that he had any, at least to require so much notice; but the substance and treasure of the people of the Jews, to whom these words are directed; these the Lord threatened should be delivered into the hands of their enemies, and become a spoil and free booty to them, for which they should give nothing, and which should never be redeemed again: and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:14

And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies ,.... Not Jeremiah, but the Jews, to whom these words are continued. The meaning is, that they should go along with the Chaldeans out of their own land into theirs: into a land which thou knowest not ; the land of Babylon; and there is another reading of the words in the margin, "I will cause thee to serve thine enemies F15 והעדתי "et servire faciam". , in a land that thou knowest not"; which is followed by the Targum, Septuagint,... read more

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

O Lord, thou knowest ,.... All persons and things; he knew the prophet and his heart, and all that was in it; his innocence and integrity; all his afflictions, and what he met with from his enemies; and he knew them, and all their malicious designs against him: remember me ; with the favour which he bore to his own people, his covenant with him, his promises to him, and the word on which he had caused him to hope; because of his trials and troubles, he might seem to be forgotten by him: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:16

Thy words were found, and I did eat them , The messages he was called to deliver unto others appeared to him to be of God, and they were as welcome to him as food is to a hungry man; he cheerfully received them, treasured them up in his memory, digested them in his mind, and carefully retained them. So the doctrines of the Gospel, which are the words of God, and not of men, when by searching and close application they are found in the Scriptures, and under the ministry of the word, they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:17

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced ,.... With them, the mockers; or, "those that make merry" F18 משחקים "ludentium", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Cocceius; "jocantium", Vatablus; "hilaria agentium", Gataker. ; as the word is rendered in Jeremiah 30:19 , and so the Targum, "those that sing;' and dance and live jovially; with these the prophet did not associate himself; such levity being unsuitable to his character as a prophet, and to those grievous messages he... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:18

Why is my pain perpetual ,.... The pain of his mind; his uneasiness for the good of his people, which was likely to last, having no hope of a change for the better: or it may design the pain which they gave him by their reproaches and persecutions of him, which seemed as if they would have no end: and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed ? the same thing is meant as before. The allusion is to an old ulcer, or obstinate wound, which no medicine can affect, is desperate and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore thus saith the Lord, if thou return ,.... From thine unbelief, diffidence, and impenitence, and repent of them; expressed in the preceding verses: then will I bring thee again ; or, "restore thee F19 אשיבך "restituam te", Tigurine version. "; pardon his sin, and return him to his post and place, to his office and ministry in it, and confirm and establish him therein: and thou shalt stand before me ; not only as a petitioner for the people; see Jeremiah 15:1 , but... read more
