エレミヤ書 18:21 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 18:18-23

The prophet here, as sometimes before, brings in his own affairs, but very much for instruction to us. I. See here what are the common methods of the persecutors. We may see this in Jeremiah's enemies, Jer. 18:18. 1. They laid their heads together to consult what they should do against him, both to be revenged on him for what he had said and to stop his mouth for the future: They said, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah. The enemies of God's people and ministers have been often... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 18:21

Therefore deliver up their children to the famine ,.... To be starved, and perish by it, as they were in the siege of Jerusalem, both by the Chaldeans, and the Romans: and pour out their blood by the force of the sword : or, "upon the hands of the sword" F6 על ידי חרב "super manus gladii", Montanus, Schmidt. ; by means of it; that is, the blood of the parents of the children; let the one perish by famine, and the other by the sword; which, when thrust into a man, blood... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 18:21

Therefore deliver up their children - The execrations in these verses should be considered as simply prophetic declarations of the judgments which God was about to pour out on them. If we consider them in their grammatical meaning, then they are not directions to us to whom our Lawgiver has said, "Love your enemies." read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 18:21

Verse 21 The Prophet seems here to have been driven through indignation to utter imprecations which are not consistent with a right feeling; for even if Christ had not said with his own mouth, that we are to pray for those who curse us, the very law of God, ever known to the holy fathers, was sufficient. Jeremiah then ought not to have uttered these curses, and to have imprecated final destruction on his enemies, thouglt they fully deserved it. But it must be observed, that he was moved not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:18-23

Persecution. The cruel sufferings of God's prophet which here and in other parts of his prophecy are recorded throw not a little light on all like persecution. For, though its rough and brutal forms have for the most part disappeared, still in others it yet lingers, and is the source of much distress. Note, then— I. ITS CAUSES . They are ever the same—hatred to the faithful Word which the persecuted one persists in preaching. Persecution, therefore, is inevitable where a faithful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:18-23

Jeremiah's enemies and his prayer against them. I. THE CAUSE OF HIS SUPPLICATION . His enemies have entered into a plot against him, and he has heard of the plot. He has to do, we may imagine, not only with the open threats of passionate men, face to face, but also with secret wiles. The language of intense provocation in which he speaks must be remembered in trying to estimate the extent, depth, and bitterness of the hostility against him. Who were they that thus proposed to... read more
