エレミヤ書 43:10 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 43:8-13

We have here, as also in the next chapter, Jeremiah prophesying in Egypt. Jeremiah was now in Tahpanhes, for there his lords and masters were; he was there among idolatrous Egyptians and treacherous Israelites; but there, 1. He received the word of the Lord; it came to him. God can find his people, with the visits of his grace, wherever they are; and, when his ministers are bound, yet the word of the Lord is not bound. The spirit of prophecy was not confined to the land of Israel. When... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:10

And say unto them ,.... The men of Judah, now in Egypt: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; See Gill on Jeremiah 42:15 ; behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant ; as all men are by creation, and as he was in a very eminent sense, being an instrument in his hand of executing his designs, both on the Jews and other nations; him he would send for, and take to perform his counsel; secretly work upon and dispose his mind to such an... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:10

Verse 10 Behold, I, —the particle demonstrative and the pronoun are both emphatical, הנני, enni; Behold, I send, he says, to bring Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones We now understand the drift of the whole, even that these stones were thrown into the cement, that God might build up a throne for Nebuchadnezzar. The time, indeed, for building the throne had not yet come; but God’s purpose was to lay the foundations, so that they might be hid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 43:1-13

Hearts set to do evil. Such were the hearts of these Jews. They show concerning such— I. THAT AFFLICTION WALL NOT ALTER THEM . It is not always true that affliction will make the heart better. It serves this blessed end with some—cf. "Before I was afflicted I went," etc.—but not with all. Did not in this case, but though "often reproved," they only "hardened their neck." II. PRAYERS AND PROFESSION OF RELIGION DO NOT CONTROL THEM . They can go together.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 43:8-13

Prophetic stones. Jeremiah planting stones at the entrance of Pharaoh's palace was prophesying by act. The stones were mute prophecies interpreted by the verbal prophecies which in turn they were to confirm in the future. These prophetic stones have their lessons for us. I. DIVINE PURPOSES ARE FIRM AND PERMANENT . They are like the great stones. Words are but air waves; to the incredulous the strongest words may be mere sound and fury, signifying nothing; they melt as they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 43:8-13

The stones of Tahpanhes. Great uncertainty as to the fulfilment of this prophetic parable. Are we bound to assume that it was actually carried out? It is possible, according to some critics (but see Exposition on Jeremiah 46:13 ), that the accomplishment of the prediction, as of many others, was only contingent. It is very vivid and definite, but that is quite consistent with the intermediate occurrence of circumstances in the spiritual state of the Jewish sojourners that enabled God to... read more

Building on the sand. The Jews trusted in the strength of Pharaoh. They had done this before, but to no purpose. The prophets of God always protested against such trust (cf. Isaiah 31:1-9 .). Here, in spite of all warning, they are resolving upon such reliance again. But they were building on sand. The destruction came; the very destruction they thought, by their acting as they had done, they had certainly escaped. Thus do and shall be done by all who are like them. Such are— I. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 43:8-13

The visitation upon Egypt. Here again is one of the symbolic acts which the prophets were commanded at times to perform. So the hiding of the girdle by Euphrates ( Jeremiah 13:1-27 ), the commanded celibacy of the prophet ( Jeremiah 16:1-21 .), the dashing of the potter s bottle to pieces ( Jeremiah 19:1-15 .). But while these symbolic acts are described in terms which make them perfectly clear, the hiding of the great stones mentioned here needs more full explanation than we can... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 43:10

And will set his throne, etc.; viz. for the victorious king to hold judgment (comp. Jeremiah 1:15 , Jeremiah 1:16 ; Jeremiah 49:38 ). He shall spread his royal pavilion; rather, his tapestry (the root means "brilliance"); i.e. the bright coloured covering of the throne. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 43:10

My servant - See Jeremiah 25:9 note.That I have hid - i. e., that I have embedded in the mortar by the instrumentality of my prophet.Pavilion - Rather, canopy. It probably means the parasol held over kings, which had a tall and thick pole, grasped with both hands, and in the early times a somewhat small circular top. read more
