Jeremiah 7:25 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 7:21-28

God, having shown the people that the temple would not protect them while they polluted it with their wickedness, here shows them that their sacrifices would not atone for them, nor be accepted, while they went on in disobedience. See with what contempt he here speaks of their ceremonial service (Jer. 7:21). ?Put your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices; go on in them as long as you please; add one sort of sacrifice to another; turn your burnt-offerings (which were to be wholly burnt to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:25

Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day ,.... That is, in all generations; ever since their first coming out of Egypt, they had been disobedient to the commands of God, and had walked after their own hearts' lusts, and had gone backward, and not forward; for this is not to be connected with what follows: I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early, and sending them ; which should be rendered, "although I have... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:25

Verse 25 God complains of the perverse wickedness of the people, — that he had lost all his labor in endeavoring to lead them to repentance, not only in one age, but that the children succeeded their fathers in their corruptions, and that thus the imitation had become perpetual. This might indeed appear as an extenuation of their fault; they might have pleaded as the Papists at this day do; who have no pretext more specious, than when they bring against us the Fathers and antiquity. But God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

The relations of righteousness and religion. This chapter, as indeed so much other of Jeremiah's prophecies, teaches not a little Concerning this great theme. In this chapter we note how it shows— I. THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE PRINCIPAL THING . 1. It is God's solemn demand (verse 2). 2. It is God's perpetual demand. See the whole chapter, the whole prophecy. "Amend your ways and your doings" (verse 3) is its constant appeal. 3. At first it was his only... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:13-25

Rising up early. A striking expression concerning Jehovah. In Jeremiah 7:25 it is strengthened: "Daily rising up early." It speaks to us— I. OF THE ANXIETY OF JEHOVAH FOR HIS PEOPLE . He who has important business on hand, or dear ones in trying circumstances, or great results dependent upon immediate and strenuous exertion, will show diligence in some such way. He will be unable to rest. So it is with God and his Church. Not that he can be said to fear or be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:21-28

Declension. Jeremiah endeavors to rouse a sense of guilt in his hearers by pointing to the sad downward course of their history when this is regarded in the light of Divine requirements and inducements to follow them. I. THE DIVINE REQUIREMENTS . These were not for the offering of mere formal sacrifices, but for obedience to God in heart and conduct ( 1 Samuel 15:22 ). Men need to be repeatedly reminded of this fact, because there is a common tendency to separate religion from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:21-28

The indispensable condition of well-being. This is laid down in Jeremiah 7:23 —obedience to God. It is the teaching of the entire Bible, of our Lord, the prophets, his apostles. The gospel is for this—to secure it more perfectly; and the sacrifices of the ancient Law were for the same reason. But men have ever rebelled against this. They were doing so in Jeremiah's time. They sought to make their sacrifices and burnt offerings a substitute for the obedience God commanded. Hence, as... read more

Jeremiah 7:21-28. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel And let Israel hear when their God speaks Put your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh The burnt-offerings, after they were flayed, were to be consumed wholly upon the altar, Leviticus 1:9; whereas, in the sacrifices of the peace-offerings, only the fat was to be burned upon the altar; part of the remainder belonging to the priests, and the rest being the portion of the offerer, to be eaten with his friends... read more
