耶利米書 44:2-6 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-14

The Jews in Egypt were now dispersed into various parts of the country, into Migdol, and Noph, and other places, and Jeremiah was sent on an errand from God to them, which he delivered either when he had the most of them together in Pathros (Jer. 44:15) or going about from place to place preaching to this purport. He delivered this message in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, and in it, I. God puts them in mind of the desolations of Judah and Jerusalem, which, though the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:2

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ,.... In which manner the prophecies of this book are frequently prefaced; see Jeremiah 42:15 ; ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah ; they saw it with their bodily eyes; they could not but serve it in their minds; nay, had an experimental knowledge of it; they suffered it in part themselves, and must be convicted in their own consciences that it was from the hand of the Lord: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:3

Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger ,.... The cause of this desolation was the wickedness they were guilty of; whereby they provoked the anger of God to bring this destruction on them. Sin is always provoking unto God; and though it may not be done on purpose to provoke him, which it sometimes seems to be; yet it eventually does, and is always the cause of punishment: God never punishes man without a cause, or for anything but sin: in that they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:4

Howbeit, I sent unto you all my servants the prophets ,.... As many as he raised up, and employed in the work and service of prophesying; and these were many; and as many as they were, he sent them to them, one after another, to warn them of their sin and danger; but all to no purpose; which was a further aggravation of their wickedness: nay, though he was rising early, and sending them ; was very early in his messages to them; gave them timely warning, and let slip no opportunity of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:5

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear ,.... To the prophets sent unto them; to God by the prophets; to the words of his mouth, particularly to the above pathetic expostulation with them; at least, if they heard the words said, they did not attend unto them; they had not such an effect upon them, nor were they wrought upon by them, so as to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods ; to turn from their sins in general, and from their idolatry in particular; one... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 44:6

Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth ,.... Like melted metal, scalding lead, liquefied pitch, or anything of a bituminous and sulphurous nature, which spreads, is consuming, and very intolerable; see Jeremiah 42:18 ; and was kindled in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem ; which, like a fire, burnt up and destroyed these cities, and particularly the large and spacious city of Jerusalem: and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day ; now lie in... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:2

No man dwelleth therein - The desolation of the land of Judea must have been exceedingly great when this, in almost any sense, could be spoken of it. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:4

O, do not this abominable thing - A strong specimen of affectionate entreaty. One of the finest figures of poetry, when judiciously managed, the anthropopathia, the ascribing human passions to God, is often used by this prophet: so God is said to grieve, to mourn, to have his bowels moved with compassion, to repent, to be angry, etc. Here he is represented as tenderly expostulating: O, do not; or, I entreat you, do not that abominable thing which I hate. Do it not: your God commands. O,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:5

But they hearkened not - They disregarded the authority of their God. They were not moved by the entreaties of their most affectionate Father. In abominations they delighted. And, 4. They loved that which God hated; and, apparently, because he hated it. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:2

Verse 2 He now begins with reproof, because they were so stupid as not to remember the vengeance which God had executed on themselves and on the whole nation. They had been left alive for this end, that they might acknowledge God’s judgment, and thus return to a right mind. Here, then, the Prophet upbraids them with their insensibility, that they had profited nothing under the scourges of God. They commonly say that fools, when they are beaten, become wise. As then the Jews had not repented,... read more
