耶利米书 11:8 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-10

The prophet here, as prosecutor in God's name, draws up an indictment against the Jews for wilful disobedience to the commands of their rightful Sovereign. For the more solemn management of this charge, I. He produces the commission he had to draw up the charge against them. He did not take pleasure in accusing the children of his people, but God commanded him to speak it to the men of Judah, Jer. 11:1, 2. In the original it is plural: Speak you this. For what he said to Jeremiah was the same... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 11:8

Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear ,.... Though they had such strong solicitations and fair warnings, and these repeated again and again; all which was an aggravation of their disobedience and stubbornness: but walked everyone in the imagination of their evil heart ; which is desperately wicked, and is evil, and that continually, even every imagination of it; wherefore walking herein must be very wide and different from walking in the law of the Lord, and obeying that; see ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 11:8

Verse 8 It afterwards follows, Yet they heard not, and bent not, or inclined not their ear Here the Prophet does not accuse a few men of perverseness, but says that, from the time they had been redeemed, they had been rebellious against God: and he exaggerates their sin by saying that they inclined not their ear; for this was no doubt added for the sake of emphasis, as though the Prophet had said, — that it was only their own fault that the right way was not quite evident to them, for they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-8

The ancient covenant. I. THE OBJECT OF THE COVENANT . This was to secure obedience. No covenant was required on God's side, since he is ever willing to bless and changeless in his beneficence. But for the sake of men's faith and to secure their allegiance God graciously condescended to enter into covenant bonds. It is therefore foolish to claim the fulfillment of God's promises irrespective of our conduct. They are covenant promises— i.e. conditional and assured on certain... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-12

The covenant with the fathers binding on the children. Here it is necessary to go back over all the history of Israel, and consider the great covenant transactions between God and his people. Such transactions we find to have been filled with great solemnity, so that they might make a deep mark in history. We trace the beginnings of the great covenant in God's dealings with Abraham. Indeed, the covenant with Israel as a nation was the necessary consequence of the covenant with Abraham as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-23

1. A reminder of the renewal of the covenant between Jehovah and the people lately made under Josiah ( Jeremiah 11:1-8 ). 2. First stage of the conspiracy; all Israel, instead of keeping the covenant with Jehovah, conspires against him ( Jeremiah 11:9-13 ). 3. The punishment of the conspiracy is an irreversible, severe judgment ( Jeremiah 11:14 17). 4. Second stage of the conspiracy; the plot of the men of Anathoth ( Jeremiah 11:18-23 ). 5. Third stage; the plot... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 11:7-8

A condensation of Jeremiah 7:23-26 . Imagination ; rather, stubbornness (see on Jeremiah 3:17 ). I will bring ; rather, I brought . All the words . "Word" sometimes means "thing spoken of;" here, for instance, the curses specified in Deuteronomy 28:1-68 . read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 11:8

I will bring - Rather, I have brought. The breach of the covenant upon their part had always brought temporal calamity. The last examples were the deportation of the ten tribes by Salmanezer, and the leading of Manasseh prisoner to Babylon in chains (2 Chronicles 33:11). read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 11:6-8

Jeremiah 11:6-8. Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, &c. That all may hear, for all are concerned; saying, Hear ye the words, &c., and do them Let it be thy work to call upon this people, not only to hear, but to do the things which I have commanded them, and which they have engaged to do. For I earnestly protested Hebrew, in protesting I protested; a way of speaking by which the Hebrews expressed the seriousness and earnestness wherewith any thing was done:... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-17

The broken covenant (11:1-17)God had made a covenant with Israel after the people came out of Egypt, assuring them of blessing if they obeyed his law and punishment if they disobeyed. God now tells Jeremiah to remind the people of these conditions of the covenant (11:1-5). Past lessons should be a warning to them that unless they change their ways, they are heading for disaster (6-8). However, the people prefer to ignore the warnings. Like their forefathers they rebel against God and follow... read more
