Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Subsection 7). Words Concerning Various Kings (Jeremiah 21:1 to Jeremiah 24:10 ). This subsection proceeds in logical sequence although not chronologically, and will centre on three special themes, firstly on the fact that all hope for Judah in the short term has now gone, secondly that the promises of the false prophets suggesting that any of the current sons of David will be restored to the throne are invalid, and thirdly that while final blessing ‘in coming days’ will truly be at the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:5-6

The Coming Son Of David (Jeremiah 23:5-6 ) The fact is now brought out that one day a Son of David would arise from the house of David who would restore His people’s fortunes and establish the everlasting Kingly Rule of God. It is a regular promise in Scripture, commencing with the promises made to David in 2 Samuel 7:12-13; 2 Samuel 7:16 and confirmed, for example, in Jeremiah 30:9; Jeremiah 33:15-17; Isaiah 9:5-6; Isaiah 11:1-4; Isaiah 16:5; Isaiah 55:3; Ezekiel 34:1-31; Ezekiel 37:21-28;... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:6-8

The Coming Salvation Of His People (Jeremiah 23:6-8 ). And when this son of David came Judah would be delivered and Israel would dwell in safety. They would be free and independent under His rule. This was partly fulfilled in Jesus’ establishment of His ‘congregation’ (Matthew 16:18; Matthew 21:43; compare John 15:1-6) who would be the heavy laden who would find rest and ease to their souls (Matthew 11:28-30) and ‘the glorious liberty of the children of God’ (Romans 8:21). But it would only... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-12

1). Jeremiah Explains How Difficult He Is Finding It To Proclaim YHWH’s Holy Words Against The Prophets And Outlines The Consequences Of Their Prophesying On The Land. YHWH Himself Then Declares What The Consequences Will Be On The Prophets Themselves (Jeremiah 23:9-12 ). Jeremiah’s diatribe against the prophets commences with an expression of the effect that what he is being called on to do is having on him. The ‘holy words’ that YHWH has given him to say against the prophets have affected... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Jeremiah’s Diatribe Against The Prophets, Headed As ‘Concerning The Prophets’ (Jeremiah 23:9-40 ). Having set right the vision of the future, Jeremiah now turns on those who had been distorting that vision in one way or another, the prophetic guild. Like the current ‘sons of David’ they too were inadequate. These were men who claimed to speak ‘the word of YHWH’ in the Name of YHWH in His very house (the Temple), but spoke all manner of falsehood and ungodliness in that Name. It was not that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-8

Jeremiah 22:1 to Jeremiah 23:8 . This section contains several distinct Jeremianic prophecies, relating to contemporary kings of Judah; they have been editorially collected, probably with some expansion. Jeremiah 22:1-1 Samuel : . Introduction.— The prophet is sent down to the palace (lower than the Temple, and on the S.) to declare judgment and justice as the condition of permanence in the royal line. He bewails in a dirge ( Jeremiah 22:6 f.) the fall of the royal house, which is like that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Jeremiah 23:9-Matthew : . The Prophets.— Jeremiah is overcome by the stern message given him to deliver. The evil of the land is encouraged by prophet and priest ( Jeremiah 6:13), even the Temple being dishonoured ( 2 Kings 21:5); for this they shall be thrust down a dark and slippery way ( Jeremiah 23:9-2 Kings :). The immorality of the southern prophets is worse than was the false religion of the northern ( Jeremiah 23:13). Hence their punishment ( Jeremiah 23:15; cf. Jeremiah 9:15). They... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:5

Though some interpreters think that Zorobabel may be here intended, who was descended from David, and ruled the people when they came out of Babylon, yet even the Jewish doctors themselves, as well as the Christian interpreters, understand this as a prophecy and promise of the Messiah; the prophecies and promises of whom are usually ushered in with this particle behold to stir up people’s attention; and who also was the Son of David, and who is called the Branch, Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 53:2;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:6

During the reign and kingdom of the Messias (whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom) the people of God, typified by Judah and Israel, the true Israel of God, those that are Jews indeed, shall be saved with a spiritual salvation; for he was therefore called Jesus, because he was to save his people from their sins, Matthew 1:21, and God will be a special protection to them. The name wherewith this Branch shall be called shall be, The Lord our Righteousness. Some have applied this to the people,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:8

See Poole "Jeremiah 16:14", where much the same words are to be found. The prophet aggravateth the greatness of that salvation, which should be brought by Christ to all the true Israel of God, by comparing it with the deliverance of the ancient Israel of God out of the land of Egypt; which he saith it should so far transcend and excel, that the deliverance out of Egypt should not be named when this salvation should appear, which should be after their return from Babylon, and when God should... read more
