耶利米書 27:18-20 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 27:12-22

What was said to all the nations is here with a particular tenderness applied to the nation of the Jews, for whom Jeremiah was sensibly concerned. The case at present stood thus: Judah and Jerusalem had often contested with the king of Babylon, and still were worsted; many both of their valuable persons and their valuable goods were carried to Babylon already, and some of the vessels of the Lord's house particularly. Now how this struggle would issue was the question. They had those among them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:18

But if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them ,.... The true prophets of the Lord are sent by him, and have his word put into them: let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts : use their interest with him, as they must have one, if they are true prophets; let them pray unto him, who doubtless will hear them; and this will be acting in character, for prophets ought to be praying persons; and this will turn to some good account: that the vessels which are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:19

For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars ,.... The pillars of brass that stood in the temple; the one called Boaz, and the other Jachin, 1 Kings 7:15 ; and concerning the sea ; the sea of molten brass, which stood upon twelve oxen, 1 Kings 7:23 ; and concerning the bases : the ten bases, which also were made of brass, 1 Kings 7:27 ; and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city ; in the king's palace, and in the houses of the noblemen,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:20

Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not ,.... For he seems only to have taken the vessels of gold, and left the vessels of brass, as the above were; see 2 Kings 24:13 ; when he carried away captive Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem ; of which see 2 Kings 24:12 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:19

Concerning the pillars - Two brazen columns placed by Solomon in the pronaos or portico of the temple, eighteen cubits high, and twelve in circumference, 1 Kings 7:16-22 ; Jeremiah 52:11 . The sea - The brazen sea, ten cubits in diameter, and thirty in circumference. It contained water for different washings in the Divine worship, and was supported on twelve brazen oxen. Perhaps these are what are called the bases here. See the parallel places at 2 Kings 25:13 ; (note), etc.; ... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:18

Verse 18 Here the Prophet laughs to scorn the foolish confidence with which the false prophets were swollen, when they promised all happiness in time to come. He hence says, that they were not to be believed as to the prosperity of which they prophesied, but that on the contrary they ought to have dreaded a most grievous punishment. He then says, If they are prophets, let them intercede with Jehovah, that what still remains may not be taken away from Jerusalem. They promised the return of the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:19

Verse 19 Jeremiah said, in the passage we considered yesterday, that it was more to be desired that God should keep what remained at Jerusalem, than that what had been taken away should be restored, for the time of punishment had not yet passed away; and thus he condemned the false teachers, because they had presumptuously and boldly promised a quick return as to the king as well as to those who had been led with him into exile, he now confirms the same thing, and says that what remained as yet... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:20

Verse 20 And he also adds, The residue of the vessels which remains, in this city By adding, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not away, he indirectly condemned the Jews, because they did not acknowledge that the cruelty of their enemy had been moderated by divine power. For we know how cruel were Babylonians, and how insatiable was their avarice, and that nothing would have been left in the Temple had not their hands been in a manner restrained by the hidden power of God. The Jews... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-22

Divine judgments not to be resisted. A conference of ambassadors from neighboring nations had been held at Zedekiah's court to consider plans of revolt against Nebuchadnezzar. The king himself and a patriotic party were bent upon resistance. This movement Jeremiah checked at its very outset by his symbolical warning. I. GOD IS RULER OF ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH . He made them, and controls their destinies. Of the earth he says, "I have given it unto whom it... read more
