エレミヤ書 25:11-12 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 25:8-14

Here is the sentence grounded upon the foregoing charge: ?Because you have not heard my words, I must take another course with you,? Jer. 25:8. Note, When men will not regard the judgments of God's mouth they may expect to feel the judgments of his hands, to hear the rod, since they would not hear the word; for the sinner must either be parted from his sin or perish in it. Wrath comes without remedy against those only that sin without repentance. It is not so much men's turning aside that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:11

And this whole land shall be a desolation ,.... Not only the city of Jerusalem, but all Judea, without inhabitants, or very few, and shall be uncultivated, and become barren and unfruitful: and an astonishment ; to all other nations, and to all persons that pass through, beholding the desolations of it: and other nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years ; both the Jews, and other nations of Egypt, reckoning from the date of this prophecy, the fourth year of Jehoiakim's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:12

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished ,.... Which were accomplished in the first year of Cyrus: they began with the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, who reigned two years and two months with his father Nabopolassar; after that forty three years by himself; Evilmerodach two years: Neriglissar four years; Belshazzar or Nabonadius seventeen years; and Darius the Median two years; which all make sixty nine years and two months; and if ten months more be added to complete... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:11

Shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years - As this prophecy was delivered in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, and in the first of Nebuchadnezzar, and began to be accomplished in the same year, (for then Nebuchadnezzar invaded Judea, and took Jerusalem), seventy years from this time will reach down to the first year of Cyrus, when he made his proclamation for the restoration of the Jews, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. See the note on Isaiah 13:19 ; (note), where the subject is farther... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:12

And that nation - ההוא הגוי haggoi hahu . Dr. Blayney contends that this should be translated his nation, and that ההוא hahu is the substantive pronoun used in the genitive case. It is certainly more clear and definite to read, "I will punish the king of Babylon, and His nation." Will make it perpetual desolations - See the note on Isaiah 13:19 , where the fulfillment of this prophecy is distinctly marked. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:11

Verse 11 Here the Prophet mentions the restriction of which I have spoken, and thus he mitigates the severity of their punishment. It is, then, a kind of correction; not that he changes anything, but only by this sort of correction he explains what he before meant by perpetual desolations. He says, The whole land shall be a waste and an astonishment, or as some render it, “a desolation.” The word שמם, indeed, means to lay desolate, and also to astonish; but as he had lately used the word in... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:12

Verse 12 The Prophet now, as I have said, shews more clearly why the time of the captivity and exile had been defined, even that the faithful might know that God would not forget his covenant, though he deprived the people of the inheritance of the land. These words were not addressed indiscriminately to the whole body of the people, as we have observed before in other places; but the Prophet intended to consult the benefit of God’s elect, who always retained a concern for true religion; for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:7-11

Judgment plainly declared. The agents of the visitation are more precisely defined than hitherto, and the leader of the invasion is actually named. The extent also of the region to be devastated, and the time the captivity is to last, viz. seventy years, are set forth. I. THIS TENDED TO HEIGHTEN THE MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE PEOPLE . A vague indefinite calamity or series of calamities would have failed to strike deeply enough into the conscience of the... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 25:11

Shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years . Widely different opinions are held as to the meaning of this prophecy. The most probable view is that "seventy" is an indefinite or round number (as in Isaiah 23:17 ), equivalent to "a very long time." This is supported by the analogy of Jeremiah 27:7 , where the captivity is announced as lasting through the reigns of Nebuchadnezzar, his son, and his grandson—a statement evidently vague and indefinite (see ad loc .), and in any case not... read more
