エレミヤ書 19:4-9 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 19:1-9

The corruption of man having made it necessary that precept should be upon precept, and line upon line (so unapt are we to receive, and so very apt to let slip, the things of God), the grace of God has provided that there shall be, accordingly, precept upon precept, and line upon line, that those who are irreclaimable may be inexcusable. For this reason the prophet is here sent with a message to the same purport with what he had often delivered, but with some circumstances that might make it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:4

Because they have forsaken me ,.... My worship, as the Targum; they had apostatized from God, relinquished his service, neglected and despised his word and ordinances, and left the religion they had been brought up in, and was agreeable to the will of God. This, with what follows, contain reasons of the Lord's threatening them to bring evil upon them, as before: and have estranged this place ; or made a strange place of it, so that it could scarcely be known to be the same, nor would the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:5

They have also built the high places of Baal ,.... Or, they have even built, &c.; and so the words explain what is before suggested of their idolatry; these were the temples in which they placed his image, and the altars on which they sacrificed to him; as follows: to burn their sons with fire, for burnt offerings unto Baal ; the same idol that is sometimes called Moloch, the names being much of the same signification; the one signifying a "lord" or "master"; the other a king; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:6

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or, "are coming" F15 ימים באים "dies (sunt) venientes", Montanus, Schmidt. ; a little while and it will come to pass, what follows; to which a "behold" is prefixed, as calling for attention and admiration, as well as to assure of the certain performance of it: that this place shall no more be called Tophet : as it had been, from the beating of drums in it, that the cries and shrieks of infants burnt in the fire might not be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:7

And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place ,.... The counsel which they took in this place and agreed to, in offering their sons and daughters to idols; and which they took with these idols and their priests, from whom they expected assistance and relief; and all their schemes and projects for their deliverance; these were all made to spear to be mere empty things, as empty as the earthen bottle he had in his hand, to which there is an allusion; there being an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:8

And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing ,.... An hissing to its enemies; an hissing because desolate; when its walls should be broken down, its houses burnt with fire, and its inhabitants put to the sword, or carried captive: everyone that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and hiss ; surprised to see the desolations of it; that a city once so famous and flourishing should be reduced to such a miserable condition; and yet hiss by way of detestation and abhorrence of it, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:9

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters ,.... For want of food; the famine should be so great and pressing. Jeremiah, that foretells this, was a witness of it, and has left it on record, Lamentations 4:10 ; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend . The Targum interprets it, the goods or substance of his neighbour; which is sometimes the sense of eating the flesh of another; but as it is to be taken in a literal sense, in the... read more
