CHAPTER IX
THE DROUGHT AND ITS MORAL IMPLICATIONS
Jeremiah 14:1; Jeremiah 15:1 (17?)
VARIOUS opinions have been expressed about the division of these
Chapter s. They have been cut up into short sect...
-
We now come to the second division of the Book, that containing the
account of the prophet's ministry. This falls into three sections:
prophecies before the fall of Jerusalem (14-39), prophecies after...
-
Faithful ministers cannot but feel grief at the conduct of false
teachers, who prophecy smooth things, and prophecy deceit. Jeremiah
had to encounter with many in his days, of this description and no...
-
This then was the reason why God so severely visited the Jews, who had
been deceived by false teachers: it was owing to their previous
impiety and ingratitude. And on this account also he adds at the...
-
Chapter 14 refers to a famine which took place in the land. The
desolation of Jerusalem by the sword and by famine is again declared.
But observe here the touching intercession of Jeremiah 14:7-9; and...

-
10-16 The Lord calls the Jews "this people," not "his people." They
had forsaken his service, therefore he would punish them according to
their sins. He forbade Jeremiah to plead for them. The false...

The security promised by these false prophets shall be no excuse to
the people for giving credit to them; the prophets shall perish for
prophesying falsely in my name, and the people that hearken to a...
