Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 13:1-11

The linen waistband 13:1-11This is the first of several symbolic acts that Jeremiah performed to communicate divine messages (cf. Jeremiah 16:1-4; Jeremiah 18:1-12; Jeremiah 19:1-2; Jeremiah 19:10-11; Jeremiah 27:1 to Jeremiah 28:17; Jeremiah 32:1-15; Jeremiah 43:8-13; Jeremiah 51:59-64). Other prophets did the same thing (cf. Isaiah 20:2-6; Ezekiel 4:1-13; Ezekiel 5:1-4). This acted sermon confronted the Judahites with the polluting effect of their associations and the consequences. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 13:10

The people of Judah, pure and untarnished at the time of their call (Jeremiah 2:2-3), would be just as worthless as Jeremiah’s ruined waistband-because they had refused to listen to the Lord. They had been stubborn in their hearts (cf. Deuteronomy 26:17-19), and had pursued idols by serving and worshipping them. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 13:11

The Lord had purposed for His chosen people to cling closely to Him, and to be an ornament of glory for Him, like a waistband served its wearer. But they did not listen to Him. They had become tarnished and spoiled by contact with polluting influences. Linen was a priestly material (Leviticus 16:4), and similarly Israel was to be a priestly nation that was to cling to Yahweh (Exodus 19:6). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 13:1-27

Jeremiah’s Seventh Prophecy (Reign of Jehoiachin). The Linen GirdleThe date of this prophecy is shown pretty clearly by the word ’queen’ (Jeremiah 13:18), which means queen-mother, namely, Nehushta, mother of Jehoiachin. The queen-mother had always a high position, and in Jehoiachin’s case this would be specially so, owing to his tender years.1-11. The symbol of the linen girdle.1. Go, etc.] It is doubtful whether this and the subsequent acts of the prophet were real or done only in symbol. As,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 13:10

(10) Imagination.—Better, as before, stubbornness.Shall even be as this girdle.—The same thought is reproduced in the imagery of the potter’s vessel in Jeremiah 18:4. On the other hand there is a partial reversal of the sentence in Jeremiah 24:5, where the “good figs” represent the exiles who learnt repentance from their sufferings, and the “bad” those who still remained at Jerusalem under Zedekiah.Which is good for nothing.—Better, profitable for nothing, the Hebrew verse being the same as in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 13:11

(11) The whole house of Israel.—The acted parable takes in not only, as in Jeremiah 13:9, Judah, to whom the warning was specially addressed, but the other great division of the people. The sense of national unity is still strong in the prophet’s mind. Not Judah only, but the whole collective Israel had been as the girdle of Jehovah, consecrated to His service, designed to be, as the girdle was to man, a praise and glory (Deuteronomy 26:19). read more

Habit Jeremiah 13:23 I. The Origin of Habit. Habit may be conceived to arise in this way. When, in the revolution of time of the day, or the week, or the month, or the year the point comes round at which we have been thinking of anything, or have done anything, by the law of the association of ideas we think of it again, or do it again. For instance, when day dawns we awake. We get out of bed because we have done it at that time before. At a later hour we take breakfast, and go away to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 13:1-27

CHAPTER VIIITHE FALL OF PRIDEJeremiah 13:1-27THIS discourse is a sort of appendix to the preceding; as is indicated by its abrupt and brief beginning with the words "Thus said Iahvah unto me," without the addition of any mark of time, or other determining circumstance. It predicts captivity, in retribution for the pride and ingratitude of the people; and thus suitably follows the closing section of the last address, which announces the coming deportation of Judah and her evil neighbours. The... read more

CHAPTER 13 Signs, Warnings, and Exhortations 1. The linen girdle and the filled bottles (Jeremiah 13:1-14 ) 2. Hear and give glory (Jeremiah 13:15-21 ) 3. The justice of the judgment (Jeremiah 13:22-27 ) Jeremiah 13:1-14 . The prophet enacts a sign, that of the linen girdle. After he had put on the girdle, he was told to hide it in a hole of the rock of the Euphrates. After many days, he was commanded to dig for the girdle. It was found marred and profitable for nothing. Was this only a... read more
