Jeremiah 13:25

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 13:25

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 Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:25

Verse 25 The Prophet no doubt wished to strip the Jews of their vain confidence, through which they acted arrogantly and presumptuously towards God, while yet they professed his name and claimed his favor. They said that they had obtained that land by an hereditary right, because it had been promised to their father Abraham. This indeed was true. They also said, that the land was God’s rest; and they derived this from the prophets. They said farther that God was their heritage; and this also... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 13:25

The portion of thy measures ; i.e. thy measured portion. But it is probably safer to render, the portion of thy garment , the upper garment being used instead of a bag to hold anything (comp. Ruth 3:15 ; 2 Kings 4:39 ). In falsehood ; i.e. in false gods ( Jeremiah 16:19 ). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 13:24-25

Jeremiah 13:24-25. Therefore will I scatter them Separate them from one another, and disperse them abroad in that strange and remote country to which they are carried captive; as the stubble, or chaff, rather, that passeth away by the wind That is dissipated and carried far away by a fierce wind: he adds, of the wilderness, to render the declaration the more emphatical, the chaff being more easily and effectually scattered by the wind in an open place, where there are no houses. ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

A nation useless and disgraced (13:1-27)In an effort to emphasize God’s warnings to Judah more forcefully, Jeremiah gave them an illustration that they could all see. He took a piece of clean new cloth, put it around his waist, then walked to a distant river where he buried the cloth in the river bank. Some time later he returned to the river and brought back the cloth for all to see. It was now rotten and useless (13:1-7). The meaning is that Judah, the nation that was supposed to be morally... read more
