Jeremias 12:14 NVIPT

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 12:1-17

Now we hear the prophet as he appealed to Jehovah to be his Defender, and. finally, we hear the divine determination. concerning his evil neighbors. This peril was revealed to him by Jehovah. It was a plot against his life. He appealed to the Lord, and was told by the declaration of His knowledge of the plot, and of the fact that the severest punishments would be meted out to these men. The prophet then poured out his soul in questions to God. Why is it, he asked, that the wicked prosper?... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 12:1-17

Section 4. YHWH Deprecates The Disloyalty Of His People To The Covenant, And Demonstrates From Examples Their Total Corruption, Revealing That As A Consequence Their Doom Is Irrevocably Determined, Something Then Represented By Jeremiah By Means Of Prophetic Symbolism (Jeremiah 11:1 to Jeremiah 13:27 ). Commencing with the regular opening phrase ‘The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH --’ (Jeremiah 11:1), YHWH deprecates His people’s disloyalty to the covenant, and demonstrates from... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 12:7-17

YHWH Has Forsaken His House And Rejected His Heritage Because Of What It Has Become, And Their Evil Neighbours Will Also Be Punished, But Even For Them There Will Be Hope In The Future If They Turn To YHWH (Jeremiah 12:7-17 ). In Jeremiah 11:15 YHWH had asked what right ‘His beloved’ had in His house when she had done evil deeds. Now He declared that He had forsaken His house and had rejected His heritage, and had in effect given the beloved of his soul into the hands of their enemies. As a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 12:7-17

Jeremiah 12:7-Esther : . The Desolation of Judah by her Neighbours, and their Future.— This isolated prophecy is most naturally referred to the events of 2 Kings 24:1 f., when Jehoiakim had revolted against Nebuchadrezzar ( c. 598). Yahweh laments His enforced abandonment of His house (a term here denoting the land rather than the Temple; cf. Hosea 8:1; Hosea 9:15), because Judah has challenged Him; now He sees her— a speckled bird— marked out for the attack of her neighbours. Nomad invaders... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 12:14

God will not be angry for ever with his own people, nor suffer the rod of the wicked for ever to rest upon the back of the righteous; for saith he, for those that are nay evil neighbours, the nations bordering upon Judea, which God calls his inheritance, upon which account he calleth them his neighbours, who touched his inheritance, not so much by contiguity of habitation, as by rapacious fingers to do them hurt, insulting over them when the hand of God was upon them, and contributing to their... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 12:1-17

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the chapter. See on chap. 11, Bleek’s theory; for which there is a weight of argument. All commentators agree to connect Jeremiah 12:1-6 with the conclusion of the previous chapter. The following Jeremiah 12:7-17, fall into two strophes, 7–13, and 14–17. Hitzig and Graf regard Jeremiah 12:7-13 as a lament over Judah’s devastation consequent upon Jehoiakim’s defection from Nebuchadnezzar in the eighth year of his reign. And Eichborn, Dahler, and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 12:1-17

Chapter 12Now Jeremiah goes on and he is talking now about the situation, the wicked man Jehoahaz that is in power. And he begins by saying,Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee ( Jeremiah 12:1 ):Starting from a base, from a foundation that is very important. Know this, that God is righteous and God is fair. Now, I will not always understand the righteousness of God or the justice or the judgment of God. You see, as a Christian we have problems. Because I believe that God is... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 12:1-17

Jeremiah 12:4 . He shall not see our last end. This is sadducean language, as Psalms 104:5. “The Lord will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard.” This species of atheism blunts the edge of the ministry, and utterly supersedes the moral principle. Why then do the wicked fear the future? The mere probability of a day of final scrutiny should deter the unbeliever from the dreadful game of crime. Jeremiah 12:5 . How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan. The river derives its name... read more

Jer 12:14 Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. Ver. 14. Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbours. ] These were the Syrians, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, &c. God also hath his evil neighbours, and this may be a comfort to us in like case. Behold, I will pluck them out, &c., and pluck out... read more
