Jeremiah 44:6 NLT,NIV,ESV

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 44:6

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:6

Verse 6 Now he adds, On this account has my wrath and my fury been poured forth, and has burned through the cities of Judah, and through the streets of Jerusalem; and this day they are a waste and a desolation The word שממה, shimme, sometimes means amazement, as it has been before stated; but when it is connected with חרבה, cherebe, as here, it means desolation. As at this day; a dreadful waste was then at that time apparent, he again refers to this truth, that the Jews ought to have been so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-10

Warnings from the past. History has its moral lessons. We who are heirs of the ages should learn wisdom from the mistakes as well as from the good examples of the past. Let us consider how this may be done. I. WARNINGS FROM THE SIN OF THE PAST . Jeremiah calls upon the Jews in Egypt to reflect on the wicked conduct of their nation, tracing it back from the present through successive generations of iniquitous court and private life. It is a gloomy task, but a wholesome... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-10

A severe lesson unlearned. I. OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE LESSON . The suffering had not happened a long way off and to a people of strangers. Those who were to be taught had seen for themselves. The suffering was the very cause that prompted them to seek a home in Egypt, and even at this moment it was no great distance that separated them from the land of desolation. And so also have we opportunities, only too many, to learn from the sufferings of others. All suffering teaches... read more

( vide Jeremiah 43:8-13 ). The condition of hardened sinners desperate. I. WHY IS IT SO ? 1 . Because repeated warnings have been rejected. ( Jeremiah 44:4 , Jeremiah 44:5 .) These have been inspired and infallible. Had they believed ever so little they might have trusted implicitly what was spoken, accompanied as it was with such miraculous credentials. We, in these last times, have had the Lord himself. He has revealed the heart of the Father. 2 . Because... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Jeremiah's last sermon. There are other prophecies of Jeremiah recorded in this book in the chapters that remain, but this discourse is the last that we know of his delivering. And with it the curtain falls upon this great prophet of God; upon Baruch, his beloved companion and helper; and upon the wretched Jews for whose good he had laboured, but in vain. A long interval separates it from that in the previous chapter; for we see the people not now at Tahpanhes, at the border of Egypt, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

The end of Jeremiah; or, going down in clouds. With this chapter Jeremiah disappears from view. The sadness which surrounded his first ministry accompanies it to the last and deepens at its close; like a sunset in clouds, going down in darkness and storm, The path along which he had been led had been via crucis, a via dolorosa indeed; a lifelong tragedy, an unceasing pain. We can only hope that death came soon to him after his recorded history closes. We have seen him torn from his... read more
