耶利米书 46:13-19 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 46:12-28

In these verses we have, I. Confusion and terror spoken to Egypt. The accomplishment of the prediction in the former part of the chapter disabled the Egyptians from making any attempts upon other nations; for what could they do when their army was routed? But still they remained strong at home, and none of their neighbours durst make any attempts upon them. Though the kings of Egypt came no more out of their land (2 Kgs. 24:7), yet they kept safe and easy in their land; and what would they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:13

The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet ,.... This is a new and distinct prophecy from the former, though concerning Egypt as that; but in this they differ; the former prophecy respects only the overthrow of the Egyptian army at a certain place; this latter the general destruction of the land; and was fulfilled some years after the other; Jarchi says, according to their chronicles F7 Seder Olam Rabba, c. 26. p. 77. , in the twenty seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:14

Declare ye in Egypt ,.... The coming of the king of Babylon, and his intention to invade the land, and subdue it: and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in Tahpanhes ; of these places See Gill on Jeremiah 44:1 ; these were principal ones in the land of Egypt, where the enemy should come, and which he should lay waste; and therefore the above things are to be published for their warning; and particularly these were places where the Jews that went into Egypt contrary to the will... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:15

Why are thy valiant men swept away ?.... As with a mighty torrent, or a sweeping rain; so the word is used in Proverbs 28:3 ; to which the Chaldean army may be compared; which came with such irresistible force as to drive the Egyptians from their posts, so that they could not stand their ground. The Septuagint renders it, "why does Apis flee from thee? thy choice ox does not continue.' Which was the god of the Egyptians, they worshipped in the form of an ox; this could not protect... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:16

He made many to fall ,.... That is, the Lord, by the hand of the Chaldeans, by whose sword multitudes fell in battle: yea, one fell upon another ; they fell in heaps, denoting the multitude of the slain; or rather they fell in flight one upon another; one fell, and then another upon him, as usually they do, when men are frightened and flee precipitantly, as in Jeremiah 46:12 ; and they said, arise : not those that fell, which may seem at first sight; but either the strangers in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:17

They did cry there ,.... Not the Chaldeans, deriding Pharaoh and his army, and mocking them, saying the following words, as some; nor the Egyptians in Egypt, as Kimchi, complaining of their king; much less in Carchemish, as others; since this prophecy refers to another event, time, and place; but the auxiliaries of Egypt in the field of battle; these did cry out aloud, as follows: Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise ; he boasted and bragged of great things he would do, and does... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:18

As I live, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts ,.... A greater King than either Nebuchadnezzar or Pharaoh; the Lord of the armies of heaven and earth; and who has them all at his command and service; swears by his life, by himself, because he can swear by no greater, to the truth of what follows; for this is the form of an oath: surely, as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea , so shall he come . Tabor is commonly said to be the mountain on which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:19

O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt ,.... That is, O ye inhabitants of Egypt, that have long dwelt there, in great security, enjoying great plenty, and who promised themselves a long continuance: furnish thyself to go into captivity ; or, "make", or "prepare for thyself vessels of captivity" F25 כלי גולה עשי לך "vase vel instrumenta migrationis fac tibi", Piscator, Schmidt; "praepara", Vatablus; "pare", Junius & Tremellius. ; or such things as are proper for captives,... read more
