耶利米書 14:18 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 14:17-22

The present deplorable state of Judah and Jerusalem is here made the matter of the prophet's lamentation (Jer. 14:17, 18) and the occasion of his prayer and intercession for them (Jer. 14:19), and I am willing to hope that the latter, as well as the former, was by divine direction, and that these words (Jer. 14:17), Thus shalt thou say unto them (or concerning them, or in their hearing), refer to the intercession, as well as to the lamentation, and then it amounts to a revocation of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:18

If I go forth into the field ,.... Without the city, where was the camp of the enemy besieging it then behold the slain with the sword ! the sword of the enemy; who by sallying out of the city upon them, or by endeavouring to make their escape into the country, fell into their hands, and were slain by them. And if I enter into the city ; the city of Jerusalem: then behold them that are sick with the famine ! just ready to die, being starved for want of provisions; and multitudes... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:18

If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword - Every place presents frightful spectacles; the wounded, the dying, the starving, and the slain; none to bury the dead, none to commiserate the dying, none to bring either relief or consolation. Even the prophets and the priests are obliged to leave the cities, and wander about in unfrequented and unknown places, seeking for the necessaries of life. Dr. Blayney thinks that the going about of the prophets and priests of the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:18

Verse 18 He confirms the same thing in other words, not on account of the obscurity of what he had said, but because he knew that he was speaking to the deaf, or that such was their sloth, that they needed many goads. He says, in short, that there would be in the city no defense for the people to shield them from the punishment that was at hand, and that if they went into the fields the whole land would be covered with enemies, who would destroy them. This is the sum of the whole. But he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 14:17-22

The distracting power of great distress. The prophet seems blinded by his tears. The distress portrayed here is terrible indeed, and the prophet so realized it that his mind appears to have reeled beneath his apprehensions of the coming calamities. Hence he falls into utterances which can only be regarded, however pardonable and comprehensible under his piteous circumstances (cf. Jeremiah 14:18 ), as exaggerated, and in many respects, as all such utterances are, incorrect. Every sentence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 14:18

A picture of the state of things after the capture of Jerusalem: the slain without, the famine-stricken within. The latter are described allusively as "sicknesses of famine" (so literally). As a peculiarly striking evidence of the downfall of greatness, it is added that even prophet and priest have to go about into a land that they know not . The verb used here can obviously not have its ordinary sense of going about for purposes of traffic. Aramaic usage suggests, however, a suitable... read more

Jeremiah 14:17-18. Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them Either, 1st, The word spoken above; the threatenings denounced in the last two verses against the false prophets and the people, the deceivers and the deceived: or, 2d, As the passage is generally interpreted, and as our translators have understood it, the words following, namely, the prophet’s lamentation and prayer. Let mine eyes run down with tears As if he had said, However insensible you are of your own condition, yet... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:1-22

Drought, disease and war (14:1-15:9)A severe drought had hit Judah. People in all walks of life, from nobles to farmers, were affected by it, and they covered their heads as a sign of their distress. They had difficulty in getting enough water to keep themselves alive, and their animals were beginning to suffer from disease. Some had already died because of the lack of food (14:1-6).Pleading on behalf of the people, Jeremiah confesses the nation’s sins. He asks God to cease acting as if he were... read more
