John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?The heart — There is nothing so false and deceitful as the heart of man; deceitful in its apprehensions of things, in the hopes and promises which it nourishes, in the assurances that it gives us; unsearchable by others, deceitful with reference to ourselves, and abominably wicked, so that neither can a man know his own heart, nor can any other know that of his neighbour's. read more

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.Hatcheth them not — Having lost them, either by some man that has taken them from her, or by some vermin or wild beast.A fool — Shall lose it again before he dies, and then shall understand what a fool he was. read more

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.I hastened not — As I did not seek the office of a prophet, so when thou wast pleased to call me to it, I did not decline. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:5

THE SOURCES OF RUIN, Jeremiah 17:5 to Jeremiah 13:5. Cursed… the man What follows is more general, but doubtless has specific reference to Jewish current history. It sets forth the curse of trusting in man; the blessedness of trusting in God; the deceitfulness of the human heart; and contains a prayer of the prophet for deliverance from his enemies. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:6

6. Heath in the desert The original of “heath” occurs besides only in Psalms 102:17, where it is rendered “destitute” man. A similar word in a similar phrase occurs in Jeremiah 48:6. where it is also translated “heath.” Furst, Henderson, Robinson, De Wette, and all the older Versions, understand by the word in this place some sort of shrub, such as the juniper, heath, or tamarisk; but Gesenius, Nagelsbach, Keil, and many others, translate it “a destitute man,” as in Psalms 102:17. This... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 17:7-8

7, 8. Blessed… trusteth The blessedness of trusting in God heightens by contrast the curse of trusting in man. Mark the particulars of this contrast. One is a solitary, worthless shrub; the other a tree. One is in the desert; the other by the watercourses. One shall not see when good cometh; the other shall not see when heat cometh. One inhabits parched, barren, uninhabitated places; the other has a leaf always green, is unaffected by the year of drought, and does not leave off... read more
