エレミヤ書 44:11-14 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-14

The Jews in Egypt were now dispersed into various parts of the country, into Migdol, and Noph, and other places, and Jeremiah was sent on an errand from God to them, which he delivered either when he had the most of them together in Pathros (Jer. 44:15) or going about from place to place preaching to this purport. He delivered this message in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, and in it, I. God puts them in mind of the desolations of Judah and Jerusalem, which, though the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:11

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ,.... Because of these sins of idolatry, impenitence, and disobedience: I will set my face against you for evil ; to bring the evil of punishment upon them, for the evil of sin committed by them: this the Lord determined with himself, and resolved to do; which the phrase, "setting his face against them ", is expressive of, by way of retaliation for their setting their faces to go down to Egypt, as well as of his wrath and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:12

And I will take the remnant of Judah ,.... Such as remained of that tribe in the land of Judea after the captivity: and not all of them, but such that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there : who were bent upon going thither, notwithstanding all the remonstrances made to them to the contrary; and were gone thither, and were now actually sojourners there: this describes such persons who wilfully, and of their own accord, went thither; and excepts those who were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:13

For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt ,.... Or "visit"; in a way of wrath and vengeance; meaning not the native inhabitants of Egypt; though these should be punished, and in whose punishment the Jews would be involved; but here it means the Jews that dwelt in Egypt, who went thither contrary to the will of God, and there settled: as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence ; signifying that the same punishment that came upon the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:14

So that none of the remnant of Judah ,.... Which were left in the land of Judea after the captivity: which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain ; escape either the sword, or the famine, or the pestilence, or remain in the land of Egypt, or in the land of the living; so general should be the destruction: that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return there ; or, "have lift up their souls F2 מנשאים את... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:11

Verse 11 He again denounces punishment on the obstinate; nor is it a wonder that these threatenings were so often repeated, since he had to do with men so ferocious and refractory. The reason then why he denounced on them God’s judgment, was because they boldly derided him; and it will become more evident from what follows how necessary was such vehemence. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:12

Verse 12 And first, indeed, the Prophet briefly shews that all those would perish who had yet falsely imagined that they could not otherwise be safe than by fleeing into Egypt. Then Jeremiah here reproves and condemns their false and vain confidence. And then he explains the manner when he says, I will take away all the remnant of Judah, who have set their face to come to Egypt, etc. By these words and the following, God intimates that the Jews had in vain sought hiding-places in Egypt, because... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:13

Verse 13 He confirms in this verse what he had said in the last, that he would again take vengeance on impiety, as he had done previously. The Jews were before visited with a very grievous calamity, when inebriated with prosperity; but now, when God would have shaken from off them their torpor, the Prophet justly reminds them of the calamities which they had suffered: As, then, I visited Jerusalem, so will I visit those who dwell in Egypt But the argument is also from the greater to the less;... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:14

Verse 14 The Prophet seems to be inconsistent with himself; for at the beginning of the verse he says that there would be no residue, but at the end he adds an exception, that there would be few alive, who would flee, and, by some miracle, escape from death. Some take this view, that none of the ungodly despisers would remain, but that some would yet be preserved alive, even those who had been drawn there against their own will, such as Jeremiah, Baruch, and such as were like them. But this... read more
