エレミヤ書 17:1 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1-4

The people had asked (Jer. 16:10), What is our iniquity, and what is our sin? as if they could not be charged with any thing worth speaking of, for which God should enter into judgment with them; their challenge was answered there, but here we have a further reply to it, in which, I. The indictment is fully proved upon the prisoners, both the fact and the fault; their sin is too plain to be denied and too bad to be excused, and they have nothing to plead either in extenuation of the crime or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron ,.... Or an iron tool, such as engravers use in working on hard matter: and with the point of a diamond ; such as glaziers use in cutting their glass; though this is not the word used for a diamond in Exodus 28:18 , this word is elsewhere translated an adamant, Ezekiel 3:9 . Bothart F8 Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 6. c. 11, col. 842. of which stone, see Dioseorides, Hesychius, & Stephanus in ib. takes it to be the smiris, which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:1

The sin of Judah - Idolatry. Is written with a pen of iron - It is deeply and indelibly written in their heart, and shall be as indelibly written in their punishment. Writing with the point of a diamond must refer to glass, or some vitrified substance, as it is distinguished here from engraving with a steel burine, or graver. Their altars show what the deities are which they worship. There may be reference here to the different methods of recording events in those days: - A pen or... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:1

Verse 1 The Prophet teaches us here in other words what we have often already seen, — that the Jews in vain sought refuges, for their sin had so much accumulated that it was very apparent. It indeed often happens, that men fall; but God, who is ever inclined to mercy, forgives them; and they are also often led astray through levity, and thus their sins are not engraven on their hearts. But Jeremiah says, that nothing remained for that nation but to be entirely swept away, because their iniquity... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1

The sin of Judah , etc. "Judah's sin" is not merely their tendency to sin, but their sinful practices—their idolatry. This is said to be graven upon the table of their heart , for it is no mere form, but carried on with passionate earnestness, and as indelible as if engraved with an iron pen. How unlike, however, is this record to that of which the same expression is used in Job 19:24 ! With the point of a diamond ; or, with a point of adamant (harder than flint, as Ezekiel 3:9 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1

Engraved sin. I. SIN LEAVES A RECORD OF ITSELF . It is not an isolated act. It begets consequences—plants memories, creates guilt. The record remains even if we do not read it. God still notes it, and will some day confront us with it. Hence it is not enough to amend our ways for the future. We need to have past transgressions blotted out if we are to be restored to peace with God. II. THE RECORD OF SIN IS ENGRAVED ON HEART OF THE SINNER . 1. It is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1

The sin of Judah. That which the prophet has to say concerning it in this part of his prophecy is in answer to the question of Jeremiah 16:10 , Jeremiah 16:11 , where Judah inquires what their sin is. In reply, the prophet— I. RECITES THEIR INIQUITIES . ( Jeremiah 16:11 , Jeremiah 16:12 .) II. DENOUNCES GOD 'S JUDGMENTS . ( Jeremiah 16:13-18 .) III. CITES WITNESSES AGAINST THEM .—C. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1-2

Sin's record. I. THE RECORD IS INEFFACEABLE . This is contrary to the notions of very many. Sin, when it is committed, wears the aspect of insignificance and triflingness. It is the gratification of a momentary impulse, of a personal and individual character; and it is not supposed that any one else, or at any rate any large number of persons, can be affected by it. The sinner supposes that he himself will be able to condone it, and that, when the active prompting of which he is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 17:1-4

The profound impression of Judah's sin. I. THERE IS IMPLIED JUDAH 'S OWN INDIFFERENCE TO ITS SIN . With supernatural clearness of vision, the prophet saw the sin of Judah; and he spoke concerning that sin with words which Jehovah had put into his mouth. And yet it is evident the people would not admit his representations as being correct and as needing urgent attention. The great bulk of them thought that he was inventing or at least exaggerating. They had lived so long... read more
