Jeremias 32:32-36 NVT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

We have here God's answer to Jeremiah's prayer, designed to quiet his mind and make him easy; and it is a full discovery of the purposes of God's wrath against the present generation and the purposes of his grace concerning the future generations. Jeremiah knew not how to sing both of mercy and judgment, but God here teaches to sing unto him of both. When we know not how to reconcile one word of God with another we may yet be sure that both are true, both are pure, both shall be made good, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:32

Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah ,.... His anger and fury were because of their sins, and so his carrying them captive: which they have done to provoke me to anger ; which was done, as if they had done it on purpose to provoke him; and which was done, not by a few, but by them all; not by the lower people only, but by men of every rank and order; as follows: they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets ; that is,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:33

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face ,.... When he reproved them for their sins; called them to repentance; instructed them in their duty; and warned them of the dangers they exposed themselves to; instead of turning the face to him, as scholars to their masters, and as subjects to their prince, to listen to what was said to them; they turned their backs or necks, the hinder part of them; expressive of contempt, and showing great rudeness and irreverence: though I... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:34

But they set their abominations ,.... Their idols, which were abominable to the Lord, and ought to have been so to them: these they placed in the house (which is called by my name), to defile it ; in the temple; as by Ahaz, Manasseh, and others: see Jeremiah 7:30 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:35

And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom ,.... Or "the high places of that Baal F11 במות הבעל אשר בגיא "quae in valle", Montanus; "excelsa Baal qui erat in valle", Calvin. , which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom"; to distinguish him from other Baalim; and who seems to be the same with Molech after mentioned; and the signification of their names agree; the one is lord or master; the other king: to cause their sons and their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:36

And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel , concerning this city ,.... Here begins the confirmation of the other part of the prophecy concerning the return of the Jews to their city and country, when they should again buy and possess fields and vineyards; which was thought impossible, supposing the destruction of the city; or however not easily reconcilable with it; but this is as strongly affirmed as the former; for though they had sinned so heinously, and had provoked... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:32

Verse 32 This verse is connected with the last: God had complained, that the city had been so perverse in its character, that it seemed to have been founded and built for the purpose of seeking its own ruin by its sins. He confirms that declaration by adding, On account of all the wickedness of the children of Israel, and of the children of Judah. By all the wickedness or evil, he means what he before said, that they had been doing only evil, for they had offended not only in one thing, but had... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:33

Verse 33 Here the Prophet expresses more clearly the perverseness of the people, as though he had said, that they had deliberately rejected every instruction, and had shewn no regard for God; for he who turns his back on us, does this knowingly and wilfully, and indeed not without contempt. When any one addresses me, and I look another way, is it not a manifest sign of contempt or disdain? and he who speaks, does he not see that he is disregarded? Thus God then complains that the Jews had not... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:34

Verse 34 There was here, as it were, an extreme wickedness, for the Jews had profaned the Temple itself. It was a grievous offense, when every one had, as we have seen, private services at home, where they burned incense on the roofs, and poured libations to foreign gods; but when impiety had gone so far, that even the Temple itself was polluted with idols, what hope was there of repentance? He says that they had set their abominations in the Temple. It is called, indeed, a house after the... read more
