Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:5

Though some interpreters think that Zorobabel may be here intended, who was descended from David, and ruled the people when they came out of Babylon, yet even the Jewish doctors themselves, as well as the Christian interpreters, understand this as a prophecy and promise of the Messiah; the prophecies and promises of whom are usually ushered in with this particle behold to stir up people’s attention; and who also was the Son of David, and who is called the Branch, Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 53:2;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:6

During the reign and kingdom of the Messias (whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom) the people of God, typified by Judah and Israel, the true Israel of God, those that are Jews indeed, shall be saved with a spiritual salvation; for he was therefore called Jesus, because he was to save his people from their sins, Matthew 1:21, and God will be a special protection to them. The name wherewith this Branch shall be called shall be, The Lord our Righteousness. Some have applied this to the people,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:8

See Poole "Jeremiah 16:14", where much the same words are to be found. The prophet aggravateth the greatness of that salvation, which should be brought by Christ to all the true Israel of God, by comparing it with the deliverance of the ancient Israel of God out of the land of Egypt; which he saith it should so far transcend and excel, that the deliverance out of Egypt should not be named when this salvation should appear, which should be after their return from Babylon, and when God should... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:9

The prophet having denounced the wrath of God against the wicked rulers of Judah under the notion of pastors, cometh here to discharge the like trust with reference to those orders of persons amongst the Jews, whose office it was, or at least who took upon them, to reveal the mind and will of God to people, and who were upon that account called prophets: for these he declares a great passion and trouble; either for their sake, in prospect of that vengeance of God which he saw was like to be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:10

Under that term adulterers all species of uncleanness are comprehended. Because of swearing the land mourneth; by false swearing, or by idle and profane swearing, the land is brought to ruin. The word signifies also a curse or cursing. Many good interpreters judge that the more genuine sense and true translation of this text were, for because of the curse (that is, the curse of God) the land is brought to that misery which is coming upon it. The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:11

Those whose work was to reveal the mind of God to the people, and who pretended to that office; and those that were employed in offering sacrifices, and other works which belonged to the priestly office, according to the law; the whole ecclesiastical order, all their ministry, were profane; not merely hypocritical, but lewd, immoral, and debauched. Yea, they were grown to that impudence, that they made the temple, which was the Lord’s house, a den of thieves, a place where they committed... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:12

As their ordinary course is wicked and sinful, so they shall find that it will in the event be to them pernicious, perilous, and full of danger, as a slippery path is to them that walk in a dark night, they shall be driven on till they fall therein. Courses of sin may look smooth, but they always prove slippery. For I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation; for I am resolved to punish their wicked courses, and to visit them with my judgments. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:13

There was a time when I saw folly in the prophets that belonged to the ten tribes, whose chief city was Samaria. The word translated folly signifies unsavoury, or an absurd thing. Our Saviour compareth wicked ministers to unsavoury salt, Matthew 5:13, salt that is turned foolish (as the Greek word signifies). The ministers of God’s word are, or ought to be, the salt of the earth, to season people with sound doctrine, and by the good example of a holy life; if they be corrupt in doctrine or... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:14

An horrible thing; the word signifies filthiness, stench, or an abominable thing, things every whit as bad, in some kind worse, than what I saw in the prophets of the ten tribes. They commit adultery; they commit not spiritual adultery only, but carnal adultery, they are whoremongers. And walk in lies; and they make it their business to instil falsehoods into people, and entitle me to them; and this is their trade, not a single act, but their ordinary practice. They strengthen also the hands of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:15

Under the term prophets he comprehendeth all the ecclesiastical guides of Jerusalem at this time, whether priests or prophets. He threatens to feed them with wormwood; some think the word is better translated poison: by wormwood, or poison, and the water of gall, he threatens great and fatal judgments that he would bring upon them. And he giveth the reason why God would deal so severely with that order of men, who seemed by their office and employment to have the nearest relation to himself,... read more
