jeremiah-23:5-23

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 23:6

‘JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU’‘The Lord our Righteousness.’ Jeremiah 23:6 I. We may view the text as simply an announcement of important truth.—It stands there on the sacred page like a profound oracular utterance from the hidden shrine of truth, given forth for our enlightenment and everlasting benefit. (1) The Lord is our righteousness, inasmuch as the purpose and plan of justifying sinners originated with Him. (2) The Lord is our righteousness, inasmuch as He Himself alone has procured righteousness... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-8

The Promise Of The Coming Son Of David Who Will Triumph And Rule Wisely (Jeremiah 23:1-8 ). Having disabused the people’s minds about the likelihood of any of their current kings being the anticipated deliverer of the house of David, Jeremiah now promises that one day such a figure will come, but he only does it after he has first given his verdict on the present ‘shepherds’ (rulers) of Israel who are responsible for the fact that the flock has been or will be scattered among the nations. A... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Subsection 7). Words Concerning Various Kings (Jeremiah 21:1 to Jeremiah 24:10 ). This subsection proceeds in logical sequence although not chronologically, and will centre on three special themes, firstly on the fact that all hope for Judah in the short term has now gone, secondly that the promises of the false prophets suggesting that any of the current sons of David will be restored to the throne are invalid, and thirdly that while final blessing ‘in coming days’ will truly be at the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:5-6

The Coming Son Of David (Jeremiah 23:5-6 ) The fact is now brought out that one day a Son of David would arise from the house of David who would restore His people’s fortunes and establish the everlasting Kingly Rule of God. It is a regular promise in Scripture, commencing with the promises made to David in 2 Samuel 7:12-13; 2 Samuel 7:16 and confirmed, for example, in Jeremiah 30:9; Jeremiah 33:15-17; Isaiah 9:5-6; Isaiah 11:1-4; Isaiah 16:5; Isaiah 55:3; Ezekiel 34:1-31; Ezekiel 37:21-28;... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:6-8

The Coming Salvation Of His People (Jeremiah 23:6-8 ). And when this son of David came Judah would be delivered and Israel would dwell in safety. They would be free and independent under His rule. This was partly fulfilled in Jesus’ establishment of His ‘congregation’ (Matthew 16:18; Matthew 21:43; compare John 15:1-6) who would be the heavy laden who would find rest and ease to their souls (Matthew 11:28-30) and ‘the glorious liberty of the children of God’ (Romans 8:21). But it would only... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-12

1). Jeremiah Explains How Difficult He Is Finding It To Proclaim YHWH’s Holy Words Against The Prophets And Outlines The Consequences Of Their Prophesying On The Land. YHWH Himself Then Declares What The Consequences Will Be On The Prophets Themselves (Jeremiah 23:9-12 ). Jeremiah’s diatribe against the prophets commences with an expression of the effect that what he is being called on to do is having on him. The ‘holy words’ that YHWH has given him to say against the prophets have affected... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Jeremiah’s Diatribe Against The Prophets, Headed As ‘Concerning The Prophets’ (Jeremiah 23:9-40 ). Having set right the vision of the future, Jeremiah now turns on those who had been distorting that vision in one way or another, the prophetic guild. Like the current ‘sons of David’ they too were inadequate. These were men who claimed to speak ‘the word of YHWH’ in the Name of YHWH in His very house (the Temple), but spoke all manner of falsehood and ungodliness in that Name. It was not that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:13-22

2). YHWH Calumniates The False Prophets And Questions What They Teach, Explaining What The Results Of Their Prophesying Will Be, And Emphasising That They Were Not Sent Or Enlightened By Him (Jeremiah 23:13-22 ). Jeremiah now compares the prophets of Judah with the prophets who had brought doom on Israel, people who had no doubt become a byword in Judah as evidence of prophets who could go astray. And he sees little to choose between them. They walk in the same evil ways, and encourage others... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:1-8

Jeremiah 22:1 to Jeremiah 23:8 . This section contains several distinct Jeremianic prophecies, relating to contemporary kings of Judah; they have been editorially collected, probably with some expansion. Jeremiah 22:1-1 Samuel : . Introduction.— The prophet is sent down to the palace (lower than the Temple, and on the S.) to declare judgment and justice as the condition of permanence in the royal line. He bewails in a dirge ( Jeremiah 22:6 f.) the fall of the royal house, which is like that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 23:9-40

Jeremiah 23:9-Matthew : . The Prophets.— Jeremiah is overcome by the stern message given him to deliver. The evil of the land is encouraged by prophet and priest ( Jeremiah 6:13), even the Temple being dishonoured ( 2 Kings 21:5); for this they shall be thrust down a dark and slippery way ( Jeremiah 23:9-2 Kings :). The immorality of the southern prophets is worse than was the false religion of the northern ( Jeremiah 23:13). Hence their punishment ( Jeremiah 23:15; cf. Jeremiah 9:15). They... read more
