John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 9:2

Jer 9:2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they [be] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. Ver. 2. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place. ] Some sorry shed, such as those worthies had who dwelt in dens and caves of the earth, Heb 11:38 such as Athanasius had, who lived, say some, six years in a well without the light of the sun, forsaken of friends, and everywhere hunted by enemies; such as... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 9:3

Jer 9:3 And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. Ver. 3. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. ] To the impeaching of others in their name, state, and life. I read that in Italy, at this day, they have a pocketstone bow, which, held under a cloak, shoots needles with violence to pierce a man’s body, yet leaveth a wound scarce... read more

Jer 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. Ver. 4. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour. ] Since there is scarce any to be trusted.

Jer 9:6 Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. Ver. 6.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 9:7

Jer 9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? Ver. 7.

An... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 9:8

Jer 9:8 Their tongue [is as] an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: [one] speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Ver. 8. Their tongue is as an arrow shot out. ] It is both a bow Jer 9:3 and a shaft, and that a slaughtering shaft, as some copies have it here; Culter iugulans, a murdering knife, some render it. a So Psalms 42:10 . As with a murdering weapon in my bones, mine enemies reproach me. Reckon thou, saith one, Sennacherib and Rabshakeh... read more

Jer 9:10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. Ver. 10. For the mountains will I take up a weeping. ] Accingit se Tropheta ad luctum. Jeremiah was better at weeping than Heraclitus, and from a better principle.
