耶利米書 14:18-19 CUNPTS

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 14:19

Hast thou utterly rejected Judah ?.... The prophet, though forbid, proceeds to prayers and expostulations on account of this people, the people of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin: or, "in rejecting hast thou rejected Judah?" F20 המאס מאסת "reprobando reprobasti", Montanus, Schmidt. from being a nation, from being under thy care and protection? hast thou cast them away, and wilt thou suffer them to go into captivity as the ten tribes? what! Judah, whom the Lord hath chosen, and... 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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 14:19

Verse 19 The Prophet now turns to prayer and to complaints, that by his example he might at length rouse the people to lamentation, in order that they might humbly implore God’s forgiveness, and sincerely confess their sins and be displeased with themselves. At the same time he indirectly reproves that hardness of which we have before spoken. As then he effected nothing by teaching, he changed his manner of speaking, and leaving the people he addressed God, according to what we have before... 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
