エレミヤ書 35:15-17 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 35:12-19

The trial of the Rechabites? constancy was intended but for a sign; now here we have the application of it. I. The Rechabites? observance of their father's charge to them is made use of as an aggravation of the disobedience of the Jews to God. Let them see it and be ashamed. The prophet asks them, in God's name, ?Will you not at length receive instruction? Jer. 35:13. Will nothing affect you? Will nothing fasten upon you? Will nothing prevail to discover sin and duty to you? You see how... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:15

I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets ,.... One after another, ever since the times of Moses, to explain and enforce the laws given; a circumstance not to be observed in the case of the Rechabites; who yet, without such intimations, kept the charge their father gave them: rising up early, and sending them ; see Jeremiah 7:13 ; saying, return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them ; all which were of a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:16

Because the son of Jonadab the son of Rechab ,.... Here we have the contrast between the Rechabites and the Israelites; the obedience of the one, and the disobedience of the other; the design of which is to aggravate and expose the sin of the Jews, since the former have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them ; that particular commandment of not drinking wine, which they had never once violated in such a course of time; nor could they now be prevailed upon,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:17

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel ,.... Provoked by such ill usage: behold, I will bring upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that I have pronounced against them : which Abarbinel interprets of all the threatenings and curses in the law and the prophets respecting the Jews, until the times of Jeremiah; though it may more especially intend the evil, God by him had pronounced upon them; namely, that the Chaldean army should come... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 35:15

Verse 15 He afterwards adds, that he was assiduous in teaching them, rising early and speaking By speaking, he intimates that he had daily repeated the same things, so that forgetfulness might not be pleaded by the Jews as an excuse: I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and ye obeyed me not Then follows an explanation,wthat God had sent the Prophets: the Jews would have otherwise been ready to object and say, that God had never appeared to them. Hence he says, that he had spoken... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 35:16

Verse 16 The Prophet says nothing new here, but confirms what has been said before; and this he did, that the indignity of the people’s conduct might more fully appear, inasmuch as, on one hand, a mortal man, and he now dead, retained authority over his posterity, having once laid on them a restraint in a matter hard and difficult; while God, on the other hand, effected nothing, though he had constantly addressed and exhorted his people, had sent prophets, and ceased not to invite them to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 35:17

Verse 17 The Prophet, after having shewn that the Jews were so condemned by the example of the Rechabites, that there was no defense for them, now adds, — that as the word of God had been to them useless, it would now be efficacious against them. This is the purport of the verse. I have spoken to them, says God; I will now speak to them no more, but I will speak against them, that is, I will command the Chaldeans, and they shall be my ministers and the executioners of my vengeance. We hence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 35:11-17

Filal obedience. The filial obedience of the Rechabites is here adduced as a rebuke to the people of Israel for their disobedience to their Father in heaven. I. WE OWE A DUTY OF FILIAL OBEDIENCE TO GOD . Obligation corresponds to privilege; peculiar relationship involves peculiar duties. If God is our Father, we owe special obedience to God on account of our relationship with him. The doctrine of the fatherhood of God is no excuse for the relaxation of the fidelity... read more
