jeremiah-7:32-34

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 7:29-34

Here is, I. A loud call to weeping and mourning. Jerusalem, that had been a joyous city, the joy of the whole earth, must now take up a lamentation on high places (Jer. 7:29), the high places where they had served their idols; there must they now bemoan their misery. In token both of sorrow and slavery, Jerusalem must now cut off her hair and cast it away; the word is peculiar to the hair of the Nazarites, which was the badge and token of their dedication to God, and it is called their crown.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:32

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... And they were coming on apace; a little longer, and they would be come; for it was but a few years after this ere Jerusalem was besieged and taken by the army of the Chaldeans, and the slaughter made after mentioned: that it shall no more be called Tophet : no more be used for such barbarous and idolatrous worship; and no more have its name from such a shocking circumstance: nor the valley of the son of Hinnom ; as it had been... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:33

And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth ,.... That is, those which remain unburied, for which there will be found no place to bury them in; all places, particularly Tophet, being so full of dead bodies; not to have a burial, which is here threatened, was accounted a great judgment: and none shall fray them away ; or frighten them away; that is, drive away the fowls and the beasts from the carcasses. The sense is, either... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:34

Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem ,.... Signifying that the devastation should not only be in and about Jerusalem, but should reach all over the land of Judea; since in all cities, towns, and villages, would cease the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness ; upon any account whatever; and, instead of that, mourning, weeping, and lamentation: the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride ; no marrying, and giving in... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:32

The valley of slaughter - The place where the slaughtered thousands of this rebellious people shall be cast, in order to their being burnt, or becoming food for the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, Jeremiah 7:33 . These words are repeated, and their meaning more particularly explained, Jeremiah 19:6-15 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:34

Then will I cause to cease - the voice of mirth - There shall no longer be in Jerusalem any cause of joy; they shall neither marry nor be given in marriage, for the land shall be totally desolated. Such horrible sins required such a horrible punishment. And they must be horrible, when they move God to destroy the work of his own hands. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:32

Verse 32 The Prophet denounces a punishment, though the Jews thought that they deserved a reward. The case is the same with the Papists at this day, who thoughtlessly boast, when they heap together many abominations; for they think that God is bound as it were by a law, not to overlook so much diligence. But the Prophet shews how grossly deceived they are who worship God superstitiously, without the authority of his word; for he threatens them here with the heaviest judgment, — Called no more,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:33

Verse 33 Jeremiah threatens them with something more grievous than death itself, — that God would impress the marks of his wrath even on their dead bodies. It is indeed true what a heathen poet says, “That the loss of a grave is not great,” ( Virgil, aeneid;) but we must on the other hand remember that burying has been held as a sacred custom in all ages; for it was a symbol of the last resurrection. Barbarous then were the words, “Give me a stick, if you fear that birds will eat my dead... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:34

Verse 34 He still continues the same subject; for he denounces on the Jews the punishment which they had deserved. He more fully expresses what he mentioned in the last verse respecting the shameful and dreadful barbarity that would follow the slaughter; for the whole country would not only be harassed by the enemy, but wholly laid waste: for when sounds of joy and gladness cease, all places are filled with lamentations; and when no marriages are celebrated, it is a sign of devastation. But by... read more
