Jeremías 23:27-40 RVR1960

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:35

Thus shall ye say everyone to his neighbour, and everyone to his brother ,.... When conferring about religious things, and the word of God in particular; when any inquiry is made of another, whether any message from the Lord by his prophets? or what is it? that it should not be put in such deriding and calumniating words, "what is the burden of the Lord?" but in more decent and becoming language, thus, what hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken ? they might lawfully and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:36

And the burden of the Lord shall be mentioned no more ,.... Or the word of the Lord under that name, speaking of it in a ludicrous and scoffing manner: for every man's word shall be his burden ; every flout, scoff, and jeer of his, at the word of God, shall fall heavily upon him, with weight upon his conscience, and press him with guilt to the lowest hell; or, however, a heavy punishment for his sin shall light upon him: or, as the words may be rendered, "for his word is a burden to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:37

Thus shall thou say to the prophet ,.... To Jeremiah, or any true prophet of the Lord; after the following manner should everyone address him, that made any inquiry of the will of the Lord by him: what hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken ? this is repeated from Jeremiah 23:35 ; for the confirmation of it, and for the direction of the people, and to show how much the Lord approved of such a way of behaving towards his prophet, and himself by him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:38

But since ye say, the burden of the Lord ,.... Seeing, notwithstanding all prohibitions of it, and directions to the contrary, they still persisted to call prophecy by this name, and that in a jocose and bantering way, and asked for it, and what it was, in a scoffing manner: therefore thus saith the Lord, because you say this word, the burden of the Lord ; will continue to use it, though so displeasing to me: and I have sent unto you, saying, ye shall not say, the burden of the Lord ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:39

Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you ,.... That is, so behave towards them, as though they were entirely out of his sight and mind; show no affection to them; take no care of them; bestow no favours upon them; and no more have them under his protection. In the word here used, and rendered "forget", and the word before used for a "burden", there is an elegant play on words F23 נשיתי נשא "forgetting I will forget", and משא "a burden". , which another language will... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:40

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you ,.... Which was a just retaliation for reproaching, vilifying, and bantering his word: they who had been honoured so much and so long as the people of God, and their city counted the glory of the earth; yet now both they and that should be the byword of the people, and had in the utmost contempt, and that for ever, or at least a long time, even for a series of ages; which has been their case ever since their destruction by the Romans, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:27

Bay their dreams - Dreams were anciently reputed as a species of inspiration; see Numbers 12:6 ; 1 Samuel 28:6 ; Joel 3:1 ; Daniel 7:1 . In the Book of Genesis we find many examples; and although many mistook the workings of their own vain imaginations in sleep for revelations from God, yet he has often revealed himself in this way: but such dreams were easily distinguished from the others. They were always such as had no connection with the gratification of the flesh; they were such... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:28

What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord - Do not mingle these equivocal matters with positive revelations. Do not consider a dream, even from a prophet, as that positive inspiration which my prophets receive when their reason, judgment, and spiritual feelings are all in full and in regular exercise. Mix none of your own devices with my doctrines. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:29

Is not my word like as a fire? - It enlightens, warms, and penetrates every part. When it is communicated to the true prophet, it is like a fire shut up in his bones; he cannot retain it, he must publish it: and when published, it is like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces; it is ever accompanied by a Divine power, that causes both sinner and saint to feel its weight and importance. In the original words there is something singular: כאש דברי כה הלוא halo coh debari kaesh , "Is not... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:30

I am against the prophets - Three cases are mentioned here which excited God's disapprobation: The prophets who stole the word from their neighbor; who associated with the true prophets, got some intelligence from them, and then went and published it as a revelation which themselves had received, Jeremiah 23:30 . The prophets who used their tongues; לשונם הלקחים hallokechim leshonam , who lick or smooth with their tongues - gave their own counsels as Divine revelations, flattering... read more
