エレミヤ書 9:8-9 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 9:1-11

The prophet, being commissioned both to foretel the destruction coming upon Judah and Jerusalem and to point out the sin for which that destruction was brought upon them, here, as elsewhere, speaks of both very feelingly: what he said of both came from the heart, and therefore one would have thought it would reach to the heart. I. He abandons himself to sorrow in consideration of the calamitous condition of his people, which he sadly laments, a one that preferred Jerusalem before his chief joy... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 9:8

Their tongue is as an arrow shot out ,.... As an arrow out of a bow, which moves swiftly, and comes with great force; or, "drawn out" F21 שוחט "extensa, vel tracta", Vatablus ; as out of a quiver. The word is used of gold, and rendered "beaten gold", 1 Kings 10:16 , gold drawn out into plates; and here of an arrow drawn out of a quiver; and so it is interpreted in the Talmud F23 T. Bab. Cholin, fol. 30. 2. & Gloss. in ib. ; or is "wounding", as the Septuagint, or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 9:9

Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord ,.... The Targum adds, "to bring evil upon them.' Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? the Targum is, "or of a people whose works are such, shall I not take vengeance according to my pleasure?' See Gill on Jeremiah 5:9 . read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 9:8

Verse 8 The Prophet again complains of the deceitfulness of their tongues; and he compares them to deadly, or drawn out arrows. Gold is said to be drawn out, when refined by repeated meltings; so also arrows, when sharpened, are more piercing. The Prophet then says, that their tongues were like deadly or sharpened arrows: how so? because they ever spoke guile, by either slandering or circumventing others. But the expression is general; and the Prophet no doubt meant to include all modes of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 9:9

Verse 9 We have already met with this verse; it will therefore be enough briefly to refer to what it contains. God shews here, that except he denied himself he must necessarily punish the Jews. How so? He takes it as granted that he is the judge of the world: he had said that the Jews were not only become wicked in one thing, but were so given up to all kinds of wickedness, that they wearied themselves; what then was to be done? God would not have acted in a manner worthy of himself, nor... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:4-8

Falsehood. I. SIN CULMINATES IN UNIVERSAL FALSEHOOD . The intellectual aspect of sin is untruth. Every sin is a lie. The triumph of sin is the overthrow of all truth and trust. II. FALSE RELATIONS WITH GOD LEAN TO FALSE RELATIONS WITH MEN . Religion and morality mutually influence each other. The worship of a god known to be false develops a life of falseness. The hypocritical service of God is likely to be accompanied by dishonest dealings with men. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:4-8

The social bond a rope of sand. This is very strong language for a man to use concerning the society in which he lives, but it harmonizes with the strength of the language which the prophet has been using with respect to himself in Jeremiah 9:1 , Jeremiah 9:2 . A very bad state of things cannot be described by mild words. Such descriptions as that in this passage make plain how just and necessary the impending desolation of Jerusalem was. He who has just expressed such wishes for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:8

(Comp. Psalms 55:21 .) As an arrow shot out ; rather, as a sharpened arrow ; but this is based on the marginal reading, and is itself a slightly forced rendering. The Hebrew text ( i . e . the consonants), and also the Septuagint and Vulgate, have "as a murderous arrow." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 9:9

A visitation of God. I. CHASTISEMENT IS A VISITATION OF GOD . The phrase "a visitation of God' has been too much confined to calamitous events. God visits us every hour in gentleness and mercy. Still, it is important to recognize that he also comes in chastisement. He comes , does not simply order, but himself executes chastisement. 1. We should recognize the Divine visitation. Outwardly the trouble may have a human origin. The calamities of the Jews arose out of a... read more
