エレミヤ書 26:19 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 26:16-24

Here is, I. The acquitting of Jeremiah from the charge exhibited against him. He had indeed spoken the words as they were laid in the indictment, but they are not looked upon to be seditious or treasonable, ill-intended or of any bad tendency, and therefore the court and country agree to find him not guilty. The priests and prophets, notwithstanding his rational plea for himself, continued to demand judgment against him; but the princes, and all the people, are clear in it that this man is not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 26:19

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death ?.... No, they did not: neither the king, by his own authority; nor the sanhedrim, the great court of judicature, for the nation; they never sought to take away his life, nor sat in council about it; they never arraigned him, and much less condemned him: did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord ; that is, Hezekiah; he did, as knowing that Micah was a prophet of the Lord, and sent by him; wherefore he received his... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 26:19

Verse 19 Having now related what Micah had denounced, they added, Slaying, did Hezekiah the king of Judah and all Judah slay him? By the example of the pious King Hezekiah, they exhorted the people to shew kindness and docility, and shewed that it was an honor done both to God and to his prophets, not to be incensed against his reproofs and threatenings, however sharply they might have been goaded or however deeply they might have been wounded. But they further added, Did he not fear Jehovah?... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:1-24

The prophet of God arraigned by the nation. Jeremiah's position, as that of all prophets, was necessarily a public one; to every man is he sent with the message. It is inadmissible for him to soften or lessen what he has to speak, which is nothing else than an indictment of the entire people (verses 4-6). In default of their repentance his arraignment by them is, therefore, all but inevitable. Indifference could not well be feigned; words like his were certain to produce an effect. I. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:8-19

A scene in a Jewish court of law. We have here a graphic picture of the procedure under the Hebrew criminal law, for it would appear that Jeremiah was indicted and tried in accordance with correct legal order. The details of such a trial are not unimportant to the student of constitutional history. But they are also full of human interest. The law-court is a strange mirror of character. Many as are the objections to the publication of police news in the daily papers, it does at least serve... read more

The truth makes an impression upon the princes and the people, who declare Jeremiah to be a true prophet, and therefore innocent. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:17-23

An argument from history. A prophet, a king, and a people belonging to a past generation are brought forward to justify the conclusion to which the princes and the people here had come. Here, then, is an eminent instance of what a practical study history may become. One must be so acquainted with the past as to seize just that completed event which will cast light on the duties and necessities of the present. I. AN INSTANCE OF A PROPHET 'S UNPALATABLE MESSAGE . No word... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 26:18-19

Micah the Morasthite , etc. The "elders" appeal for a precedent to the case of Micah (called after his native place, Moresheth-Gath, to distinguish him from other Micahs), who had been equally explicit in his declarations of woe to Jerusalem, without incurring the charge of blasphemy. The prediction referred to is in Micah 3:12 , the form of which agrees verbally with our passage. read more

Thus might we procure , etc.; rather, and we are about to commit a great evil against our souls (not merely "against ourselves"). The blood of the slain would cry for vengeance against his murderers, who would come to an untimely end, their "souls" being sent down to lead a miserable parody of a life ( βίος ἄβιος ) in Sheol or Hades. read more
