エレミヤ書 25:12-38 JC

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 25:15-29

Under the similitude of a cup going round, which all the company must drink of, is here represented the universal desolation that was now coming upon that part of the world which Nebuchadrezzar, who just now began to reign and act, was to be the instrument of, and which should at length recoil upon his own country. The cup in the vision is to be a sword in the accomplishment of it: so it is explained, Jer. 25:16. It is the sword that I will send among them, the sword of war, that should be... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 25:30-38

We have, in these verses, a further description of those terrible desolations which the king of Babylon with his armies should make in all the countries and nations round about Jerusalem. In Jerusalem God had erected his temple; there were his oracles and ordinances, which the neighbouring nations should have attended to and might have received benefit by; thither they should have applied for the knowledge of God and their duty, and then they might have had reason to bless God for their... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:13

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it ,.... By his prophets, and particularly by Jeremiah, as follows; for not one word that is spoken by the Lord, either in a way of promise or threatening, shall fail; his truth, power, and faithfulness, are engaged to accomplish all: even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations ; the Egyptians, Philistines, Moabites, Edomites, Arabians, Persians, and also the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:14

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also ,.... Take their cities, seize upon the kingdoms, spoil them of their wealth and riches, and bring them into servitude to them: these "many nations", which should and did do all this, were the Medes and Persians, and those that were subject to them, or were their allies and auxiliaries in this expedition; and the "great kings" were Cyrus and Darius, and those that were confederate with them: and I will recompense them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:15

For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me ,.... The prophet: take the wine cup of this fury at my hand ; in a vision the Lord appeared to Jeremiah with a cup of wine in his hand, which he bid him take of him. It is usual in Scripture for the judgments of God on men to be signified by a cup of hot and intoxicating liquor, Isaiah 51:17 ; particularly in Psalm 75:8 ; to which reference may be had; as John seems to refer to the passage here in Revelation 14:10 ; called a cup,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:16

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad ,.... The judgments foretold shall come upon them, whether they will or not; which will have such effects upon them, as intoxicating liquor has on drunken persons; make them shake and tremble, and reel to and fro, and toss and tumble about, and behave like madmen: because of the sword that I will send among them ; this explains what is meant by the wine cup of fury, the sword of a foreign enemy that shall enter among them and destroy; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:17

Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand ,.... In a visionary way, and did as he commanded, and prophesied as he directed him. The prophet was obedient to the heavenly vision, as became him: and made all the nations to drink, unto whom, the Lord had sent me ; not that he travelled through each of the nations with a cup in his hand, as an emblem of what wrath would come upon them, and they should drink deep of; but this was done in vision, and also in prophecy; the prophet publishing the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:18

To wit , Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah ,.... Which are mentioned first, because God's judgments began with them, as they usually do with the house of God, 1 Peter 4:17 ; and even now began; for this very year, in which this prophecy was delivered, Nebuchadnezzar came up and besieged Jerusalem, and carried away some captives, Daniel 1:1 ; this was the beginning of what afterwards were more fully executed: and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof : the Kings Jehoiakim,... read more
