Jeremiah 12:14-15. Thus saith the Lord, against, or concerning, all mine evil neighbours By these are meant the Moabites, Ammonites, Idumeans, and Philistines; against whom Jeremiah prophesies, chap. 47., 48., 49.; and Ezekiel, chap. 25. These are called evil neighbours, because of the spite and ill-will which they showed toward the Jews on all occasions: that touch the inheritance, &c. Who lie near to, and border upon, Judea: Behold, I will pluck them out, &c. These... read more

Jeremiah 12:16-17. If they will diligently learn the ways of my people If they will leave their idolatries, and learn of my people who lived among them to be worshippers of me the true God, and to swear by my name, The Lord liveth That is, pay that homage, which they owe to the Divine Being, to me, the living and true God: as they taught my people to swear by Baal As they drew in my backsliding people to join with them in the service of idols.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 12:1-17

Jeremiah’s complaint; God’s answer (12:1-17)As he thinks back on the treachery of the people of Anathoth, Jeremiah is prompted to complain to God. Innocent people suffer, whereas wicked people live at ease. Why is it, he asks, that God allows the wicked to prosper?

Indeed, the whole land suffers because of the sins of people... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 12:14

THE RETURN OF CAPTIVES; JUDGMENT OF NEIGHBORS"Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. And it shall come to pass, if... read more
