耶利米书 12:11 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 12:7-13

The people of the Jews are here marked for ruin. I. God is here brought in falling out with them and leaving them desolate; and they could never have been undone if they had not provoked God to desert them. It is a terrible word that God here says (Jer. 12:7): I have forsaken my house?the temple, which had been his palace; they had polluted it, and so forced him out of it: I have left my heritage, and will look after it no more. His people that he has taken such delight in, and care of, are... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 12:11

They have made it desolate ,.... Which is repeated to denote the certainty of it; astonishment at it, and that it might be observed: and being desolate it mourneth unto me ; not the inhabitants of it for their sins, the cause of this desolation; but the land itself, because of the calamities upon it; it crying to God, in its way, for a restoration to its former beauty and glory. The whole land is made desolate ; it was not only the case of Jerusalem, and the parts adjacent, but even... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 12:11

No man layeth it to heart - Notwithstanding all these desolations, from which the land every where mourns, and which are so plainly the consequences of the people's crimes, no man layeth it to heart, or considereth that these are God's judgments; and that the only way to have them removed is to repent of their sins, and turn to God with all their hearts. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 12:11

Verse 11 There is a change of number in the verb שם shem; but there is no obscurity: for the Prophet means, that the Jews would be exposed to the outrage of all, so that every one would plunder and lay waste the land. He does not then speak only of all their enemies or of the whole army; but he also declares that every one would be their master, so as to vex, scatter, devour, and wholly to destroy them at his pleasure: in short, he sets forth the atrocity of their punishment, — that the whole... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 12:7-11

The inheritance that has lost its charms. I. WE HAVE HERE REGRETFUL THOUGHTS OF THE PAST . We can see what the prophet once hoped and desired. Not only what he had hoped and desired in those dreams of youth before God had touched his heart and claimed the service of his lips, but also what he had hoped and desired since becoming a prophet. Dear as Anathoth with its inhabitants may have been before, it would become dearer still when he thought of impending calamities to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 12:7-13

The hiding of God's face. Here is a most terrible condition of things set forth. It may be taken as telling of the calamities which ensue when God hides his face from his people. It is terrible every way. Because— I. OF HIM BY WHOM HIS FACE IS HIDDEN . It is God. We feel such conduct from our fellow-men according to our estimate of the person who manifests it. Now, all these facts which make the hiding of his face grievous to us meet in God—righteousness, goodness,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 12:7-17

A separate prophecy. The key to it is in 2 Kings 24:1 , 2 Kings 24:2 , where it is related that, after Jehoiakim's rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar, "Jehovah sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it." The prophecy falls into two strophes or sections, 2 Kings 24:7-13 and 2 Kings 24:14-17 . In the first we have a complaint of the desolation produced by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 12:11

Layeth it to heart ; rather, laid it to heart. Inconsiderateness is repeatedly spoken of as an aggravation of the moral sickness of Israel ( Isaiah 42:25 ; Isaiah 57:1 , Isaiah 57:11 ). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 12:11

Desolate - The force of the protest lies in this word. Thrice the prophet uses it.Layeth it to heart - Rather, laid it “to heart.” The desolate land must put up its silent cry to God, because the people had refused to see the signs of the coming retribution. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 12:10-11

Jeremiah 12:10-11. Many pastures have destroyed my vineyard Many eaters, or devourers, as Dr. Waterland translates רעים רבים , by which the Chaldee Paraphrast understands the generals of the Chaldean army, an interpretation which seems to be justified by the two following verses: though some explain it of the rulers of the Jews, who, by their wicked government, and equally wicked example, had ruined their country. God calls Judea his vineyard and pleasant portion, because of the care... read more
