耶利米书 6:8 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 6:1-8

Here is I. Judgment threatened against Judah and Jerusalem. The city and the country were at this time secure and under no apprehension of danger; they saw no cloud gathering, but every thing looked safe and serene: but the prophet tells them that they shall shortly be invaded by a foreign power, an army shall be brought against them from the north, which shall lay all waste, and shall cause not only a general consternation, but a general desolation. It is here foretold, 1. That the alarm of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 6:8

And be thou instructed, O Jerusalem ,.... Or "corrected" F19 הוסרי "cape disciplinam", Vatablus; "admitte disciplinam", Cocceius; "castigationem", Schmidt. ; receive discipline or instructions by chastisements and corrections, return by repentance, that the evils threatened may not come: this shows the affection of the Lord to his people, notwithstanding all their sins; that their amendment, and not their destruction, were pleasing to him; that it was with reluctance he was about to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 6:8

Verse 8 Though the Prophet had spoken as though there was no remedy for the evils of Jerusalem, he yet exhorts it to seek peace with God, and addresses men past remedy in his name. It is then the same as though God was stopping in the middle course of his wrath, and saying, “What is to be done? Shall I destroy the city which I have chosen?” He then attributes here to God a paternal feeling, as we also find in several other places: God appeared as unwilling to proceed to extreme rigor in... read more

A dreadful onlook. Such was the vision of Jeremiah which he saw concerning the coming wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem. It was the sad sight which the sinners in Jerusalem never, but the seer ever, saw clearly, vividly, heart-brokenly. The vision of Jeremiah for Jerusalem was the forerunner of our Lord's in substance, spirit, and result. Now, with regard to this awful onlook of the prophet which is here related, note— I. HOW SOLITARY IT WAS . The people of Judah and Jerusalem... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:4-8

The apostate city that cannot be let alone. Godlessness is condemned by its impracticableness as a universal and thorough-going principle of human life. It is also an evil that defies ordinary restraints, and constantly becomes worse. "This is the strongest and most dangerous mining-powder of cities and fortresses when sin, shame, vice, and wantonness get the upper hand" (Cramer). The city that has forsaken God is— I. A SOURCE OF MISCHIEF AND UNCLEANNESS . It is likened to a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:8

Be thou instructed ; rather, Let thyself be corrected (Authorized Version misses the sense, a very important one, of the conjugation, which is Nifal tolerativum (comp. Psalms 2:10 ; Isaiah 53:12 ). The phrase equivalent to "receive correction" ( Jeremiah 2:30 ; Jeremiah 5:3 ), and means to accept the warning conveyed in the Divine chastisement. Lest my soul, etc.; rather, lest my soul be rent from thee (Authorized Version renders the same verb in Ezekiel 23:17 , "be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 6:8

The worst woe of the wicked. "Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee." I. THERE ARE MANY WOES WHICH ACCOMPANY SIN . "Many sorrows shall be to the wicked." All observation attests the truth of this word. II. BUT THERE IS ONE WHICH MAY FITLY BE SPOKEN OF AS THE WORST OF ALL . It is this—God's soul departing from the sinner. This indeed is terrible. It is so amongst men. We hear at times of those who have worn out the... read more
