Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Jeremiah 23:1 . Woe be to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep. Princes are often called pastors, as Cyrus, Isaiah 44:28, because they enforce the laws and protect the people.

Jeremiah 23:5 . I will raise to David a righteous branch. The Messiah, as the Chaldaic reads. See Isaiah 4:2. The... read more

Can any man hide himself in secret places? ] Hide he may God from himself, but not himself from God; though atheists are apt to think (as they say the struthiocamelus doth when he hath thrust his head in a hole) a that because they see none, therefore none seeth them.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 23:25

Jer 23:25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Ver. 25.
