Jeremiah 45:10

Let us then learn from this passage, that whenever God reproves us, not only in words, but in reality, and reminds us of our sins, we do not so suffer for one fault as to be free for the future, but that until we from the heart repent, he ever sounds in our ears these words, Still God will contend with you: and a real contention is meant; for Jeremiah speaks not of naked doctrine, but intimates that the Jews were to be led before God's tribunal, because they ceased not to provoke his wrath: and he declares the same thing respecting their children and the third generation. It afterwards follows -- Gataker thinks that it was verbal pleading: "It is as if he had said, I have argued the case with your forefathers already, let me debate the matter a little further with you, and let your posterity also consider well what I now say, (see Deuteronomy 31:19, 21.) And so is the same word afterwards used for debating the case or pleading, verse 29 (Jeremiah 2:29)." Henry, Adam Clarke, and Blayney, take the same view; but Scott seems to agree with Calvin The verb rvv, followed as it is here by 't, ever means a verbal dispute or contention. See Numbers 20:13; Nehemiah 13:11, 17; Proverb 25:9; Isaiah 45:9. — Ed Jeremiah 2:10-11 10. For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. 10.

[Bible] 44:29. And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil. 44:30. Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Nechao king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the land of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life. Jeremias Chapter 45 The prophet comforts Baruch in his affliction. 45:1. The word that Jeremias the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerias, when he had written these words in a book, out of the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, saying: 45:2. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to thee, Baruch: 45:3. Thou hast said: Woe is me, wretch that I am, for the Lord hath added sorrow to my sorrow: I am wearied with my groans, and I find no rest. 45:4. Thus saith the Lord: Thus shalt thou say to him: Behold, them whom I have built, I do destroy: and them whom I have planted, I do pluck up, and all this land. 45:5. And dost thou seek great things for thyself? Seek not: for behold I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord! but I will give thee thy life, and save thee in all places whithersoever thou shalt go. Jeremias Chapter 46 A prophecy against Egypt. The Jews shall return from captivity. 46:1. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the Gentiles, 46:2. Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda. 46:3. Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth to battle. 46:4. Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on coats of mail.

Anointing was in particular practised on festal occasions; and oil was accordingly a mark of joy ( Psalm 23:5 ; Psalm 45:7 ; Psalm 92:10 ; Isaiah 61:3 ; Ecclesiastes 9:8 ), while not to anoint oneself was a token of mourning ( 2 Samuel 14:2 ). but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph ] more lit., are not sick for the breach (or wound ) of Joseph . The words bring out the irony of their position: immersed themselves in a vortex of pleasure, they are unconcerned by the thought of the breach or wound in the body politic, i.e. the impending material ruin, the signs of which the prophet can only too clearly discern, though they are invisible to the self-satisfied political leaders of the nation. For the term breach (or wound ), applied to a nation, cf. Isaiah 30:26 ; Jeremiah 6:14 (“the breach of the daughter of my people”), Jeremiah 8:21 , Jeremiah 10:19 , Jeremiah 14:17 , Jeremiah 30:12 ; Jeremiah 30:15 ; Nahum 3:19 ; Lamentations 2:13 (A.V., R.V., often “hurt”).

2. In the argument from the nature of necessary existence, (the 2nd a priori,) the 7th point was : "There can be but one necessarily existent Being, for two necessarily existent Beings could in no respect whatever differ from each other; that is they would be one and the same Being." The nature of necessary existence therefore proves the unity of God. 5. The proofs we have thus far presented from nature for the unity of God are abundantly confirmed by the statements of Scripture. 1. The passages which declare explicitly that God is one. Deuteronomy 6:4. Mai. 2:10. "Hath not one God created us." Mark. ,12:29, 32. Galatians 3:20. 1. Tim. 2:5. Ephesians 4:6. James 2:19. 2. Those that assert that there is none else or none beside Him. Deuteronomy 4:35. 39. Deuteronomy 32:12. 1. Sam 2:2. 2. Sam. 7:22. 1. Kings 8.60. 1. Chron. 7:20. Isaiah 44:6.8. Isaiah 45:5.6.21.22. Isaiah 46:5. Joel 2:27. 3.
