Jeremiah 8:1-3

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 8:1-22

; Jeremiah 8:1-22; Jeremiah 9:1-26; Jeremiah 10:1-25; Jeremiah 26:1-24In the four chapters which we are now to consider we have what is plainly a finished whole. The only possible exception {Jeremiah 10:1-16} shall be considered in its place. The historical occasion of the introductory prophecy, {Jeremiah 7:1-15} and the immediate effect of its delivery, are recorded at length in the twenty-sixth chapter of the book, so that in this instance we are happily not left to the uncertainties of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 8:1-22

CHAPTER 8 1. The horrors of the invasion (Jeremiah 8:1-3 ) 2. Hardened hearts and retribution (Jeremiah 8:4-12 ) 3. Utter destruction threatened (Jeremiah 8:13-17 ) 4. The prophet’s lamentation (Jeremiah 8:18-22 ) Jeremiah 8:1-3 . These verses must not be detached from the preceding chapter. The division of chapters is often unfortunate in this book. The invaders from the north would even have digged out the bones of the dead. Kings, priests, prophets and people who had worshipped the... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 8:1

8:1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their {a} graves:(a) The enemy for greediness will rifle your graves and lay you before those idols, who in your life you worshipped, to see if they can help you. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Jeremiah 8:3

8:3 And death shall be chosen {b} rather than life by all the remnant of them that remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.(b) Because of the afflictions that they will feel through God’s judgments. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 8:1-22

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 8:1-22

Accusations and Penalties Jeremiah 8-9 These chapters are full of accusation. The point is, that the accusation was not directed against heathen nations; it is hurled against the chosen of God. There is a certain kind of accusation in which there is comfort. Where the indictment is severe, it is evident that the expectation has been high, and God never expects much except where he has sown much. Therefore it may come to pass that the very gravity and poignancy of the accusation may be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 8:1-3

It is more than probable, that the ransacking of the sepulchres of the kings of Israel and Judah by the enemy, was more in their view to find treasure, than to show contempt. David's grave we are told by an ancient historian, Hicarnus, had three thousand talents of gold and silver in it. But what designs soever the enemy had; the Lord's over-ruling it, was for punishment. What could have been more humbling, or more distressing! And indeed we are told the effect wrought by it, was dreadful? so... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 8:1

Graves. They might suppose that they would find treasures in them, as the tombs of Semiramis, Cyrus, &c., were thus enriched. This inhumanity seems to have taken place before the last siege, Baruch ii. 24. (Calmet) Qu'e6que carent ventis et solibus ossa Quirini Nefas videre dissipabit insoleas. ----- (Horace, epod. 16.) --- Cruelty and avarice cause persecutors to act thus. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 8:1-3

1-3 Though no real hurt can be done to a dead body, yet disgrace to the remains of wicked persons may alarm those yet alive; and this reminds us that the Divine justice and punishments extend beyond the grave. Whatever befalls us here, let us humble ourselves before God, and seek his mercy. read more
