Jeremiah 24:6 WEB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

This short chapter helps us to put a very comfortable construction upon a great many long ones, by showing us that the same providence which to some is a savour of death unto death may by the grace and blessing of God be made to others a savour of life unto life; and that, though God's people share with others in the same calamity, yet it is not the same to them that it is to others, but is designed for their good and shall issue in their good; to them it is a correcting rod in the hand of a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 24:6

For I will set mine eyes upon them for good ,.... His eyes of omniscience, providence, and grace; to communicate good things to them; to take care of them in the furnace of affliction, that they were not lost, but made the better; to watch over them, protect and defend them; to deliver them out of their troubles, and to bring them into their own land; as follows: and I will bring them again into this land : the land of Judea, and city of Jerusalem, where Jeremiah now was, and saw this... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:6

Verse 6 He confirms what he said in the last verse, but in other words, for it was difficult to persuade them that they were happier who were apparently lost, than those who still enjoyed some measure of safety. He had said that he would acknowledge them; but he now adds, I will set my eye upon them He uses a metaphor which often occurs in Scripture, for God is said to turn away his face when he hides his favor; and in the same sense he is said to forget, to depart, not to care, to despise, to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Two baskets of figs. I. MORALLY MEN ARE DIVISIBLE INTO TWO DISTINCT CLASSES . The two baskets of figs represent two classes of Jews: the basket of good figs, Jeconiah and his followers; the basket of bad figs, Zedekiah and his party. The great distinction between these was moral. There were princes in both classes; yet the one stood far higher in the sight of God than the other. 1. The deepest line of cleavage which runs down through all sections of mankind is moral ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

The two baskets of figs; or, predetermining influences. These are not to be understood of the opposite development of character in two sets of persons in slightly differing circumstances, but rather of the primary influence of Divine faith as contrasted with the want of it amidst the trials of life. The people left behind were disposed to felicitate themselves over their brethren who had been carried off into Chaldea, but this impression is corrected by Jeremiah. The exiles were the true... read more

Calamity with God and without him. I. To THE CHILD OF GRACE . 1. It is a chastening . 2. A restoration . II. To THE UNGODLY . 1. The influence depreciating character . 2. A source of restlessness and fresh transgression . 3. An ever-increasing evil . 4. An ultimate destruction .—M. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Punished for salvation; left alone for destruction. A general principle of God's moral government. The flower of Judah, about to be deported to Babylon, are followed by the prophet with wistful gaze. They are the seed of the true Israel; whereas those who are allowed to remain quietly at home are to be of no account in God's purpose. I. HOW DIFFERENT OFTEN ARE THE EXTERNAL FROM THE SPIRITUAL PROSPECTS OF MEN ! Jeconiah and his companions might have been pitied... read more

The two baskets of figs; or, our character and destiny independent of our circumstances. I. THE SYMBOLS EMPLOYED . The two baskets of figs—one very good, the other very evil. But: 1. They had each the same advantages and disadvantages . The same seed, soil, training, climate, sunshine, and other influences teeming on them. 2. They were of directly opposite character . ( Jeremiah 24:2 .) II. THE PEOPLE REPRESENTED BY THEM . The men of Judah and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

The good and bad figs. I. CONSIDER THE FIGS GENERALLY . We cannot, of course, say why figs should be chosen rather than another fruit, though the choice can hardly be a mere accident. Some reason probably appeared to the observant of that time which we are without sufficient information to discover. Possibly the goodness of good fruits was more obvious against the badness of bad ones, in the case of the fig than in the case of other fruits. It is to be noticed also that the... read more
