エレミヤ書 7:27-30 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 7:21-28

God, having shown the people that the temple would not protect them while they polluted it with their wickedness, here shows them that their sacrifices would not atone for them, nor be accepted, while they went on in disobedience. See with what contempt he here speaks of their ceremonial service (Jer. 7:21). ?Put your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices; go on in them as long as you please; add one sort of sacrifice to another; turn your burnt-offerings (which were to be wholly burnt to the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 7:29-34

Here is, I. A loud call to weeping and mourning. Jerusalem, that had been a joyous city, the joy of the whole earth, must now take up a lamentation on high places (Jer. 7:29), the high places where they had served their idols; there must they now bemoan their misery. In token both of sorrow and slavery, Jerusalem must now cut off her hair and cast it away; the word is peculiar to the hair of the Nazarites, which was the badge and token of their dedication to God, and it is called their crown.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:27

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them ,.... Before mentioned in the chapter; exhortations to duty, dehortations from sin, promises and threatenings: but they will not hearken to thee : so as to reform from their evil ways, and do the will of God; they will neither be allured by promises, nor awed by menaces: thou shalt also call unto them ; with a loud voice, showing great vehemency and earnestness, being concerned for their good, and knowing the danger they were in: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:28

But thou shalt say unto them ,.... Having found by experience, after long speaking and calling to them, that they are a disobedient and incorrigible people: this is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God ; who, though the Lord is their God, and has chosen and avouched them to be his special people, whom he has distinguished by special favours; yet what he says by his prophets they pay no regard unto, and are no better than the Gentiles, which know not God: nor... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:29

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away ,.... This supplement is made, because the word is feminine; and therefore cannot be directed to the prophet, but to Jerusalem, and its inhabitants; shaving the head is a sign of mourning, Job 1:20 and this is enjoined, to show that there would soon be a reason for it; wherefore it follows: and take up a lamentation on high places : that it might be heard afar off; or because of the idolatry frequently committed in high places. The... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:30

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord ,.... Meaning not a single action only, but a series, a course of evil actions; and those openly, in a daring manner, not only before men, but in the sight of God, and in contempt of him, like the men of Sodom, Genesis 13:13 , they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it ; that is, set their idols in the temple; here Manasseh set up a graven image of the grove, 2 Kings 21:7 ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:29

Cut off thine hair - נזרך גזי gozzi nizrech , shear thy nazarite. The Nazarite was one who took upon him a particular vow, and separated himself from all worldly connections for a certain time, that he might devote himself without interruption to the service of God; and during all this time no razor was to pass on his head, for none of his hair was to be taken off. After the vow was over, he shaved his head and beard, and returned to society. See Numbers 6:2 ; (note), etc., and the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:27

Verse 27 Here is seen more clearly what I have stated, — that the Jews were not addressed, because they had no ears. Here then God addresses his Prophet and says, “The children will be like their parents: for thou shalt indeed bear the commands which I give thee, but it will be without any advantage; for they will not hear, and when thou callest to them, they will not answer ” It was a most grievous trial to the Prophet to know that his words would pass away with the air and produce no good.... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:28

Verse 28 God shews now that he must act in a new way. The first duty of teachers is to set forth the will of God, to shew what is right, and then to exhort, if plain teaching proves not sufficient. But God intimates here that he was under the necessity to change his manner, because they were wholly irreclaimable. Thou shalt then say this as the last thing; as though he had said, “I indeed wished to try, whether they were capable of being improved, and have employed thee for this purpose: after... read more
