エレミヤ書 22:1-4 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-9

Here we have, I. Orders given to Jeremiah to go and preach before the king. In the foregoing chapter we are told that Zedekiah sent messengers to the prophet, but here the prophet is bidden to go, in his own proper person, to the house of the king, and demand his attention to the word of the King of kings (Jer. 22:2): Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah! Subjects must own that where the word of the king is there is power over them, but kings must own that where the word of the Lord is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1

Thus saith the Lord, go down to the house of the king of Judah ,.... To the palace of Jehoiakim, who was now the reigning king; the prophet is bid to go down to it, because, as Kimchi thinks, he was now upon the mountain of the house, or in the temple, from whence to the king's house there was a descent: and speak there this word ; of prophecy, relating to the several kings hereafter mentioned. This prophecy was delivered some years before that in the preceding chapter, though it stands... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:2

And say, hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah ,.... O Jehoiakim king of Judah, hear the word of the King of kings; listen to it, and obey it, as kings ought to do; and it is for their good, as well as it is their duty, so to do: that sittest upon the throne of David ; whom he mentions, to put him in mind of his illustrious ancestor, whose successor he was, that he might be prompted to follow his example: thou, and thy servants, and that people that enter in by these gates ; the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:3

Thus saith the Lord, execute ye judgment and righteousness ,.... Judge righteous Judgment; give the cause to whom it belongs, without respect of persons, and without a bribe or corruption; do no unrighteousness to any, by withholding from them what is due unto them, which was what this prince was chargeable with, Jeremiah 22:13 ; and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor ; that was robbed or wronged of his property by one superior to him in power or cunning; See Gill on ... read more

For if ye do this thing indeed ,.... Or, "in doing do this word" F25 כי אם עשו תעשו את הדבר "si namque faciendo feceritis verbum hoc", Montanus, Schmidt. ; diligently and carefully attend to this word of exhortation, and constantly perform the duties required: then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David ; or, upon the throne for David: in his room and stead, as successors of his; or of his lineage and descent, as the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:1

Verse 1 The Prophet is again bidden to reprove the king and his counsellors; but the exhortation is at the same time extended to the whole people. It was necessary to begin with the head, that the common people might know that it was not a matter to be trifled with, as God would not spare, no, not even the king himself, and his courtiers; for a greater terror seized the lower orders, when they saw the highest laid prostrate. That what is here taught might then penetrate more effectually into... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:2

Verse 2 But he speaks of the king as sitting on the throne of David; but not, as I have already said, for the sake of honor, but for the purpose of enhancing his guilt; for he occupied a sacred throne, of which he was wholly unworthy. For though God is said to sit in the midst of the gods, because by him kings rule, we yet know that the throne of David was more eminent than any other; for it was a priestly kingdom and a type of that celestial kingdom which was afterwards fully revealed in... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:3

Verse 3 He says, first, Do judgment and justice This belonged especially to the king and his judges and governors; for private individuals, we know, had no power to protect their property; for though every one ought to resist wrongs and evil doings, yet this was the special duty of the judges whom God had armed with the sword for this purpose. To do judgment, means to render to every one according to his right; but when the two words, judgment and justice, are connected together, by justice we... read more
