Besides the bitter judgments of famine and pestilence during the siege, what remained of them should be carried captive out of their own land into foreign countries, than which nothing could be more distressing:<\/p>\n whom neither they or their fathers have known<\/strong>; a circumstance greatly aggravating their captivity:<\/p>\n and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them<\/strong>; or men that kill with the sword, as the Targum: it chiefly regards such of them as were scattered among the Moabites and Ammonites, and especially that went into Egypt; see Jer 44:27<\/span>.<\/p>\n Zion laid waste. – <\/em> Jer 9:16<\/span>. “Thus hath Jahveh of hosts said: Give heed and call for mourning women, that they may come, and send to the wise women, that they may come, <\/em> Jer 9:17<\/span>. And may make haste and strike up a lamentation for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with water. <\/em> Jer 9:18<\/span>. For loud lamentation is heard out of Zion: How are we spoiled, sore put to shame! because we have left the land, because they have thrown down our dwellings. <\/em> Jer 9:19<\/span>. For year, ye women, the word of Jahve, and let your ear receive the word of His mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and let one teach the other the song of mourning! <\/em> Jer 9:20<\/span>. For death cometh up by our windows, he entereth into our palaces, to cut off the children from the streets, the young men from the thoroughfares. <\/em> Jer 9:21<\/span>. Speak: Thus runs the saying of Jahve: And the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the field, and as a sheaf behind the shearer, which none gathereth.”<\/em> <\/p>\n In this strophe we have a further account of the execution of the judgment, and a poetical description of the vast harvest death is to have in Zion. The citizens of Zion are called upon to give heed to the state of affairs now in prospect, i.e., the judgment preparing, and are to assemble mourning women that they may strike up a dirge for the dead. , to be attentive, give heed to a thing; cf. Jer 2:10<\/span>. Women cunning in song are to come with speed ( takes the place of an adverb). The form (Psa 45:16<\/span>; 1Sa 10:7<\/span>) alternates with , the usual form in this verb, e.g., Gen 30:38<\/span>; 1Ki 3:16<\/span>, etc., in order to produce an alternating form of expression . “For us” Ng. understands of those who call the mourning women, and in it he finds “something unusual,” because ordinarily mourners are summoned to lament for those already dead, i.e., others than those who summon them. “But here they are to raise their laments for the very persons who summon them, and for the death of these same, which has yet to happen.” There is a misunderstanding at the bottom of this remark. The “for us” is not said of the callers; for these are addressed in the second person. If Ng. ‘s view were right, it must be “for you,” not “for us.” True, the lxx has ; but Hitz. has rejected this reading as a simplification and weakening expression, and as disturbing the plan. “For us” is used by the people taken collectively, the nation as such, which is to be so sorely afflicted and chastised by death that it is time for the mourning women to raise their dirge, that so the nation may give vent to its grief in tears. We must also take into account, that even although the lamentations were for the dead, they yet chiefly concerned the living, who had been deeply afflicted by the loss of beloved relations; it would not be the dead merely that were mourned for, but the living too, because of their loss. It is this reference that stands here in the foreground, since the purpose of the chanting of dirges is that our eyes may flow with tears, etc. Zion will lament the slain of her people (Jer 8:22<\/span>), and so the mourning women are to strike up dirges. for , as in Rth 1:14<\/span>; cf. Ew. 198, b<\/em>. On the use of and with the accus<\/em>.: flow down in tears, cf. Gesen. 138, 1, Rem. 2, Ew. 281, b<\/em>.<\/p>\n As he had said that the Jews were following what theyhad received from their fathers,so he says now that God would scatter them among nations, which had been unknown to them and to their fathers. He then alludes to their mischievous tradition; for the fathers had imbued their children with ungodly errors, and had withdrawn them from God, that their doctrine might become altogether familiar to them. There is then a contrast to be noticed between the knowledge with which the fathers had inebriated their children, and their ignorance of the language of the nations. <\/p>\n And then as he had said, that they were walking after the hardness of their own heart and after Baalim, he says, I will send a sword after them We hence see that the Prophet in both clauses alludes to the defection of which he had spoken. And he adds, Until I shall have consumed them; and this is added, that they might not promise themselves a temporary or a moderate chastisement. Jeremiah then declares, that as they had abused God’s forbearance, destruction was nigh them, and that God would contimle to consume them, until he had wholly destroyed them. It follows — <\/p>\n THE CARNIVAL OF DEATH, Jer 9:16-21<\/span>.<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> I will scatter them <\/strong> God’s determination thus to do is rendered more appalling by the statement whom neither they nor their fathers have known<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Till I have consumed them <\/strong> Not utterly, as is repeatedly indicated in this book: God’s forbearance still continuing to the remnant who should be spared a feeble life in their own land.<\/p>\n Jer 9:16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.<\/p>\n Ver. 16. And I will scatter them also among the heathen.<\/strong> ] As had been forethreatened. Deu 28:15-68<\/span> <\/em> Lev 26:14-39 But men will not believe till they feel. They read the threats of God’s law, as they do the old stories of foreign wars, and as if they lived out of the reach of God’s rod.<\/p>\n I will scatter. Reference to Pentateuch (Lev 26:33. Deu 28:64). <\/p>\n heathen = nations. <\/p>\n scatter: Jer 13:24, Lev 26:33, Deu 4:27, Deu 28:25, Deu 28:36, Deu 28:64, Deu 32:26, Neh 1:8, Psa 106:27, Eze 11:17, Eze 12:15, Eze 20:23, Zec 7:14, Jam 1:1 <\/p>\n and I: Jer 15:2-4, Jer 24:10, Jer 25:27, Jer 29:17, Jer 44:27, Jer 49:36, Jer 49:37, Eze 5:2, Eze 5:12, Eze 14:17 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 26:25 – will bring Isa 24:1 – scattereth Jer 14:12 – but Jer 15:4 – cause them to be removed Jer 22:16 – was not Eze 5:10 – the whole<\/p>\n Jer 9:16. Some of the bitterness predicted in the preceding verse came upon the people while yet in their home land. This verse has more direct bearing on the captivity in Babylon which was accomplished in part by the use of the sword.<\/p>\n He would also scatter them among nations that would be unfamiliar to them and their forefathers. Violence would follow them until the Lord had annihilated them. This would be the fate of many ungodly Judahites, not the whole nation (cf. Jer 4:27; Jer 5:18; Jer 30:11).<\/p>\n I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. I will scatter them also among the heathen; either you shall wander up and down among strangers, like Cains curse; or rather, you shall have no … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Jeremiah 9:16”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19202\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: English Annotations on the Holy Bible by Matthew Poole<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
