Jeremiah 19:11 - Exposition

As one breaketh a potter's vessel (comp. Isaiah 30:14 ). Dr. Them-son speaks of the utter indifference with which the common pottery of Palestine is handled. It is not only brittle, but so cheap that no one is distressed at breaking it. And they shall bury them in Tophet , etc. These words form the conclusion of Jeremiah 7:32 (see note), the greater part of which is repeated in Jeremiah 7:6 . They are certainly out of place here, and are wanting in the Septuagint.
