耶利米书 23:13-15 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 23:9-32

Here is a long lesson for the false prophets. As none were more bitter and spiteful against God's true prophets than they, so there were none on whom the true prophets were more severe, and justly. The prophet had complained to God of those false prophets (Jer. 14:13), and had often foretold that they should be involved in the common ruin; but here they have woes of their own. I. He expresses the deep concern that he was under upon this account, and what a trouble it was to him to see men who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:13

And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria ,.... The ten tribes of Israel, among whom, in Ahab's time there were many false prophets, Baal's prophets, even four hundred and fifty; whose "folly" the Lord had formerly taken notice of; even their idolatry and impiety for giving into which the ten tribes had been carried captive years ago.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:14

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing ,.... Or "but", or "so have I seen", &c.; as before observed; even in the prophets of Jerusalem, where the temple was, and where the pure worship of God was professed to be observed, and that now, at the present time; as he had formerly seen and observed what was foolish, ridiculous, and impious, in the prophets of the ten tribes, and had punished them for it; so now at this instant he sees that in the prophets of Judea... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:15

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets ,.... Concerning the false prophets, as the Targum; their sin is before declared, and now their punishment: behold, I will feed them with wormwood ; with some bitter affliction and calamity; so the Targum, "behold, I will bring upon them distress bitter as wormwood;' they that have been fed with dainties, and lived upon the fat of the land; their views in pleasing the people with their lies being to serve their own... read more

I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria - This was not to be wondered at, for their religion was a system of corruption. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:14

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem - That is, the prophets of Jerusalem, while professing a pure faith, have followed the ways, and become as corrupt as the prophets of Samaria. They are all of them unto me as Sodom - Incorrigible, brutish sinners, who will as surely be destroyed as Sodom and Gomorrah were. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:13

Verse 13 These two verses are to be read together; for there is no doubt but that the Prophet here compares the false prophets, who had corrupted God’s worship in the kingdom of Israel, with those in Jerusalem who wished to appear more holy and more perfect. And he thus compares them that he might set forth those who sought to be deemed God’s faithful ministers, as being by far the worst; for he says, that he had found fatuity in the prophets of Samaria, but depravity in the prophets of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:14

Verse 14 It follows,They commit adultery, and walk in deception Expositors think that there is a change of number; but what if these words be applied to the people? as though Jeremiah had said, “When any one is an adulterer, when any one walks in deception, that is, when any one is fraudulent, they strengthen, the hands of the wicked.” And, doubtless, this sense seems here to be the most correct. Then Jeremiah shews how they surpassed other prophets in impiety, even because they dissimulated... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:15

Verse 15 This verse is addressed to the prophets of the kingdom of Judah, as we learn from its conclusion; and thus the exposition which I have given is confirmed, even this, that God extenuates the fault of other prophets, in speaking of the prophets of Jerusalem, who boasted of greater sanctity. But he declares that they would have poison for meat and gall for drink; as though he had said, “I will pursue them with every kind of punishment.” He expresses evidently the same thing I have before... read more
