Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 13:22-27

Here is, I. Ruin threatened as before, that the Jews shall go into captivity, and fall under all the miseries of beggary and bondage, shall be stripped of their clothes, their skirts discovered for want of upper garments to cover them, and their heels made bare for want of shoes, Jer. 13:22. Thus they used to deal with prisoners taken in war, when they drove them into captivity, naked and barefoot, Isa. 20:4. Being thus carried off into a strange country, they shall be scattered there, as the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:22

And if thou say in thine heart ,.... Not daring to express it with the mouth; and which, notwithstanding, God, that knows the heart, was privy to, and could discern all the secret workings of it; putting such a question as this: wherefore come these things upon me ? all these calamities, the invasion and siege of the enemy, famine, sword, captivity, &c.;: the answer returned is, for the greatness of thine iniquity ; the enormous crimes the Jews were guilty of, such as idolatry,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:23

Can the Ethiopian change his skin ?.... Or, "the Cushite"; either, as the Arabic version, the "Abyssine", the inhabitant of the eastern Ethiopia; properly an Ethiopian, as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions render it; or, the "Chusean Arabian"; the inhabitant of Arabia Chusea, which was nearer Judea than the other Ethiopia, and better known, and which were of a dark complexion. The Targum renders it, the Indian; and so does the Syriac version. In the Misna F9 Yoma, c. 3. sect 7. ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:24

Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away ,.... Because of their many sins, and continuance in them, their habits and custom of sinning, they are threatened with being carried captive into other nations, where they should be dispersed and separated one from another, which would make their state and condition very uncomfortable; and this would be as easily and as swiftly done as the light stubble which is blown away by every puff of wind; nor would they be able any more... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:25

This is thy lot ,.... Meaning not the king's, or the queen's only, but the lot of the whole Jewish state: the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord ; which were divided and distributed, and measured out to them by the Lord, who appointed these calamities to befall them, and brought them upon them, and that in righteous judgment. The Targum is, "and the portion of thine inheritance;' who, instead of having the land of Canaan for their inheritance, to which the allusion is,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:26

Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face ,.... Turn them up, or throw them over the head or face; that is, expose to public shame and disgrace; which was done when their city and temple were burnt, and they were carried captive; hence it follows: that thy shame may appear ; that their sins might appear to themselves and others, of which they had reason to be ashamed. The allusion is to the treatment which captive women sometimes meet with, or adulterous women, to which the Jews... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:27

I have seen thine adulteries ,.... Not literally such, though they were greatly guilty of that sin; but figuratively, their idolatries: thy neighings ; expressive of their strong desires after other gods, like that of adulterers and adulteresses after one another; and both which are like the neighing of horses. Kimchi thinks this designs their rejoicing in their evil works: the lewdness of thy whoredom ; their sinful thoughts, and wicked desires, which were continually after their... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:22

Are thy skirts discovered - Thy defenseless state is every where known; thou art not only weak, but ignominiously so. It is thy scandal to be in so depressed a condition; thou art lower than the basest of thy adversaries, and thou art so because of thy sin. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:23

Can the Ethiopian change his skin - Can a black, at his own pleasure, change the color of his skin? Can the leopard at will change the variety of his spots? These things are natural to them, and they cannot be altered; so sin, and especially your attachment to idolatry, is become a second nature; and we may as well expect the Ethiopian to change his skin, and the leopard his spots, as you to do good, who have been accustomed to do evil. It is a matter of the utmost difficulty to get a... read more
