This and the next chapter contain, as we shall see, a most profitable truth; and that the people might be the more attentive, God introduced these prophecies by a preface. Jeremiah spoke many things which afterwards, as it has elsewhere appeared, had been collected and inserted in one volume by the priests and Levites; but God reminds us in these words, that the prophecies which are to follow respecting the liberation of the people, were especially to be remembered. There is, however, another circumstance to be noticed. We have seen that such was the stubbornness of the people, that Jeremiah spent his labor among them in vain, for he addressed the deaf, or rather stocks and stones, for they were so possessed by stupor that they understood nothing, for God had even blinded them, a judgment which they fully deserved. Such was the condition of the people. We must further bear in mind the comparison between the doctrine of Jeremiah and the fables of those who fed the miserable people with flatteries, by giving them the hope of a return after two years. God knew what would be the event; but the people ceased not to entertain hope and to boast of a return at the end of two years. Thus they despised God’s favor, for seventy years was a long period: “What! God indeed promises a return, but after seventy years who of us will be alive? Hardly one of us will be found then remaining, therefore so cold a promise is nothing to us.” They, at the same time, as I have said, were filled with a false confidence, as with wind, and behaved insolently towards God and his prophets, as though they were to return sound and safe in a short time. But profane men always run to extremes; at one time they are inflated with pride, that is, when things go on prosperously, or when a hope of prosperity appears, and they carry themselves proudly against God, as though nothing adverse could happen to them; then when hope and false conceit disappoint them, they are wholly disheartened, so that they will receive no comfort, but plunge into the abyss of despair. God saw that this would be the case with the people, except he came to their aid. Hence he proposes here the best and the fittest remedy — that the Prophet, as he had effected nothing by speaking, should write and convert as it were into deeds or acts what he had spoken, (1) so that after the lapse of two years they might gather courage, and afterwards acknowledge that they had been deceived by unprincipled men, and thus justly suffered for their levity, so that they might at length begin to look to God and embrace the promised liberation, and not wholly despond. This, then, is the reason why the Prophet was commanded to write the words which he had before declared with his mouth. Now, as we understand the design of God, let us learn that when it happens that we go astray and wander after false imaginations, we are not on that account to cast away the hope of salvation; for we see that God here stretches forth his hand to those who had erred, and who had even wilfully cast themselves into ruin, for they had been more than enough admonished and warned by true and faithful prophets; their ears they had stopped; their hearts they had hardened; and yet when they had sought as it were designedly to ruin themselves, we see how God still recalled them to himself. (1) “In a book:” the אל before “book” is in some copies על , as in other places when preceded by “write.” It may be more literally rendered, “on a roll;” but if אל be retained, the rendering may be, “for a record,” or memorial. Venema thinks that these two chapters were written after the destruction of Jerusalem, and that as there were no people to be addressed, Jeremiah was bidden to commit to writing what he had often previously delivered by word of mouth. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"

이 장과 다음 장에는 우리가 보게 될 것처럼 매우 유익한 진리가 담겨 있다. 백성이 더 주의를 기울이도록 하나님은 이 예언들을 서문으로 시작하셨다. 예레미야는 많은 것들을 말하였고, 그것들은 나중에 다른 곳에서 볼 수 있듯이 제사장들과 레위인들에 의해 하나의 책으로 수집되어 편입되었다. 그러나 하나님은 이 말씀들로 포로에서의 해방에 관한 다음의 예언들이 특별히 기억되어야 한다는 것을 우리에게 상기시키신다.

그러나 주목해야 할 또 다른 사항이 있다. 우리는 백성이 그토록 완악하여 예레미야가 그들 사이에서 헛되이 수고하였다는 것을 보았다. 그가 귀머거리들에게 말하였고, 더 나아가 통나무와 돌들에게 말하는 것과 같았다. 그들이 무감각에 사로잡혀 아무것도 이해하지 못하였기 때문이다. 하나님이 그들을 눈멀게 하셨는데, 이는 그들이 충분히 받을 만한 심판이었다. 이것이 백성의 상태였다.

더욱이 예레미야의 가르침과 거짓 선지자들의 꾸며낸 이야기들 사이의 비교를 염두에 두어야 한다. 거짓 선지자들은 2년 후에 귀환의 소망을 줌으로써 비참한 백성을 아첨으로 먹였다. 하나님은 어떤 결과가 있을지 아셨다. 그러나 백성은 2년 후에 귀환이 있을 것이라는 소망을 품고 자랑하기를 그치지 않았다. 그들은 그와 동시에 하나님의 은혜를 멸시하였다. 70년은 긴 기간이기 때문이었다.

따라서 선지자는 이제 가장 좋고 가장 적합한 치료책을 제시한다. 그것은 선지자가 말로 아무것도 이루지 못하였기 때문에 기록하여, 말로 선언한 것을 말하자면 행위로 전환시키는 것이었다. 그래서 2년이 지나면 그들이 용기를 얻고, 나중에는 자신들이 몰염치한 자들에게 속았다는 것을 인정하여, 그들의 경솔함에 대한 처벌을 마땅히 받았다는 것을 알고, 마침내 하나님을 바라보고 약속된 해방을 받아들이며 전혀 절망하지 않도록. 이것이 선지자가 이전에 입으로 선언한 것들을 기록하도록 명 받은 이유다.

He says that God had commanded him to write in a book all the words which he had heard; and the reason follows, For, behold, come shall the days, saith Jehovah, in which I will restore the captivity of my people Israel and Judah (2) There is to be understood a contrast between the restoration mentioned here and that of which the false prophets had prattled when they animated the people with the hope of a return in a short time; for, as I have said, that false expectation, when the Jews sought unseasonably to return to their own country, was a sort of mental inebriety. But when they found that they had been deceived, despair only remained for them. Hence the Prophet recalls them here to a quietness of mind, even that they might know that God would prove faithful after they found out that they had rashly embraced what impostors had of themselves proclaimed We then see that there is here an implied comparison between the sure and certain deliverance which God had promised, and the false and stolid hope with which the people had been inebriated: come, then, shall the days Now it appears that two years had taken away every expectation; for they believed the false prophets who said that God would restore them in two years; after the end of that time all the hope of the people failed. Therefore the Prophet here removes that erroneous impression which had been made on their minds, and he says that the days would come in which God would redeem his people; and thus he indirectly derides the folly of the people, and condemns the impiety of those who had dared to promise so quick a return. (2) The words literally are, “For behold the days coming, saith Jehovah, when I shall restore the migration of my people, Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will restore them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall inherit it.” To render ו when, when preceded by a participle, is what may be done, and ought, in my view, to be commonly done. The word שבות means a migration, as given in the Targum, rather than captivity. It is rendered by the Sept. ἀποικία , removal from home. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"

그는 하나님이 그에게 들은 모든 말씀을 책에 기록하도록 명하셨다고 말한다. 그 이유가 이어진다. 보라, 그 날들이 오리라, 여호와가 말씀하신다, 내가 내 백성 이스라엘과 유다의 포로를 회복하리라. 여기서 언급된 회복과, 거짓 선지자들이 짧은 시간 안에 귀환의 소망으로 백성을 격려하며 재잘거린 회복 사이에 대조가 내포되어 있다고 이해해야 한다.

그 거짓된 기대가 사라지고 나면 절망만이 그들에게 남아 있었다. 따라서 선지자는 여기서 그들의 마음의 평정으로 그들을 불러들인다. 그들이 사기꾼들이 스스로 선포한 것을 경솔하게 받아들였다는 것을 발견한 후에 하나님이 신실하심을 증명하실 것임을 알게 하기 위함이었다. 그때 오리라, 그 날들이라고 말한다. 2년이 모든 기대를 빼앗아 갔음이 분명하다. 따라서 선지자는 여기서 그들의 마음에 만들어진 그 잘못된 인상을 제거하고, 하나님이 그분의 백성을 구원하실 날들이 올 것이라고 말한다.

We now, then, see why he says, come shall the days; for every hope after two years would have been extinguished, had not God interposed. Come, then, shall the days in which I wll restore the captivity of Israel and Judah The ten tribes, we know, had been already led into exile; the tribe of Judah and the half tribe of Benjamin only remained.

우리는 이제 그가 그 날들이 오리라고 말한 이유를 본다. 2년 후에는 모든 소망이 꺼졌을 것이기 때문이다. 이스라엘과 유다의 포로를 내가 회복하리라. 열 지파는 이미 포로로 끌려갔다는 것을 우리는 안다. 유다 지파와 베냐민 반 지파만이 남아 있었다. 따라서 열 지파, 즉 이스라엘 왕국 전체가 먼저 언급된다. 이스라엘의 포로 생활은 유다의 것보다 훨씬 더 길었다.

Both Jews and Christians pervert this passage, for they apply it to the time of the Messiah; and when they hardly agree as to any other part of Scripture, they are wonderfully united here; but, as I have said, they depart very far from the real meaning of the Prophet. They all consider this as a prophecy referring to the time of the Messiah; but were any one wisely to view the whole context, he would readily agree with me that the Prophet includes here the sum of the doctrine which the people had previously heard from his mouth. In the first clause he shews that he had spoken of God’s vengeance, which rested on the people. But it is briefly that this clause touches on that point, because the object was chiefly to alleviate the sorrow of the afflicted people; for the reason ought ever to be borne in mind why the Prophet had been ordered to commit to writing the substance of what he had taught, which was, to supply with some comfort the exiles, when they had found out by experience that they had been extremely perverse, having for so long a time never changed nor turned to repentance. The Prophet had before spoken at large of the vices of the people, and many times condemned their obstinacy, and also pointed out the grievous and dreadful punishment that awaited them. The Prophet then had in many a discourse reproved the people, and had been commanded daily to repeat the same thing, though not for his own sake, nor mainly for the sake of those of his own age, or of the old. But after God had destroyed the Temple and the city, his object was to sustain their distressed minds, which must have otherwise been overwhelmed with despair. This, then, is the reason why the Prophet here touches but slightly on the vengeance which awaited the people. There is, however, as we shall see, great force in this brevity; but he is much fuller as to the second part, and for this end, that the people might not succumb under their calamities, but hope in the midst of death, and even begin to hope while suffering the punishment which they deserved. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"

유대인들과 그리스도인들 양쪽이 이 구절을 잘못 이해하여 메시아 시대에 적용한다. 그들이 성경의 다른 부분에서는 거의 동의하지 않으면서 여기서는 놀랍게 하나가 된다. 그러나 내가 말한 것처럼 그들은 선지자의 진정한 의미에서 매우 멀리 벗어난다.

누군가가 전체 문맥을 현명하게 바라본다면, 선지자가 여기서 백성이 이전에 그의 입에서 들은 가르침의 요약을 포함한다는 것에 쉽게 동의할 것이다. 첫 번째 절에서 그는 백성 위에 안식한 하나님의 보복에 대해 말하였다는 것을 보여준다. 그러나 이 첫 번째 절이 그 점을 간략하게 다루는 것은 목적이 주로 고통받는 백성의 슬픔을 완화하는 것이었기 때문이다. 선지자가 기록하도록 명 받은 이유를 항상 염두에 두어야 한다. 그것은 포로들이 오랜 기간 결코 변하지도 회개하지도 않는 자신들이 얼마나 극도로 완악하였는지를 경험으로 깨달았을 때, 어느 정도의 위로로 그들을 채워주기 위함이었기 때문이다.

Now he says, Thus saith Jehovah, A cry, or, the voice of trembling , or of fear , have we heard. The word חרדה , cherede, is thought to mean properly that dread which makes the whole body to tremble, and is therefore rendered trembling. God speaks, and yet in the person of the people. Why? In order to expose their insensibility; for as they were obstinate in their wickedness, so they were not terrified by threatenings, however many and dreadful. God dictated words for them, for they were altogether void of feeling. We now see why God assumed the person of those who were secure, though Jeremiah daily represented to them God’s vengeance as near at hand. The meaning is, that though the people were asleep in their sins, and thought themselves beyond the reach of danger, even when God was displeased with them, yet the threatenings by which God sought to lead them to repentance would not be in vain. Hence God says, We have heard the voice of fear; that is, “Deride and scoff as you please, or remain insensible in your delusions, so as to disregard as the drunken what is said, being destitute of feeling, reason, and memory, yet God will extort from you this confession, this voice of trembling and fear.” return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"

이제 그는 말한다. 여호와가 이같이 말씀하신다, 우리가 들었다, 두려움의 목소리를. 하나님이 말씀하시되 백성의 인격으로 하신다. 왜? 그들의 무감각을 드러내기 위함이다. 그들이 자신들의 악에서 완악하였으므로 아무리 많고 두려운 위협에도 두려워하지 않았기 때문이다. 하나님이 그들을 위한 말들을 받아쓰게 하셨다. 그들이 완전히 느낌이 없었기 때문이다.

우리는 이제 왜 하나님이 안일한 자들의 인격을 취하셨는지 본다. 예레미야가 매일 그들에게 하나님의 보복이 가까이 있음을 표현하였음에도 자신들의 죄 안에서 잠들어 있었던 자들의. 의미는 백성이 자신들의 미혹 속에서 잠들어 있고 위험에서 벗어나 있다고 생각하며 하나님이 그들과 불쾌하실 때도 하나님의 위협들을 농담처럼 비웃고 있었지만, 예레미야가 그들을 회개로 이끌려 했던 위협들은 헛되지 않을 것이라는 것이다.

He then adds, and not of peace This is emphatically subjoined, that the Prophet might shake off from the people those foolish delusions with which they were imbued by the false prophets. He then says, that they in vain hoped for peace, for they could not flee from terror and fear. He enhances this fear by saying, Inquire and see whether a man is in labor? Some one renders this absurdly, “Whether a man begets?” by which mistake he has betrayed a defect of judgment as well as ignorance; he was indeed learned in Hebrew, but ignorant of Latin, and also void of judgment. For the Prophet here speaks of something monstrous; but it is natural for a man to beget. he asks here ironically, “Can a man be in labor?” because God would put all men in such pains and agonies, as though they were women travailing with child. As, then, women exert every nerve and writhe in anguish when bringing forth draws nigh, so also men, all the men, would have their hands laid on their loins, on account of their terror and dread. Then he says, and all faces are turned into paleness; that is, God would terrify them all. We now understand the meaning of the Prophet; for as the Jews did not believe God’s judgment, it was necessary, as the Prophet does here, to storm their hardness. If he had used a common mode of speaking, they would not have been moved. Hence he had respect to their perverseness; and it was on this account that he was so vehement. Inquire, then, he says, and see whether a man is in labor? God would bring all the men to a condition not manly, such as that of a woman in labor, when in her last effort to bring forth, when her pain is the greatest and the most bitter. Men would then be driven into a state the most unbecoming, strange, and monstrous. It follows: — return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"

The Prophet goes on in this verse to describe the grievousness of that punishment for which the people felt no concern, for they disregarded all threatenings, as I have already said, and had now for many years hardened themselves so as to deem as nothing so many dreadful things. This, then, was the reason why he dwelt so much on this denunciation, and exclaimed, Alas! great is that day: “great” is to be taken for dreadful; and he adds, so that there is none like it It was a dreadful spectacle to see the city destroyed, and the Temple partly pulled down and partly consumed by fire: the king, with all the nobility, was driven into exile, his eyes were put out, and his children were slain; and he was afterwards led away in a manner so degraded, that to die a hundred times would have been more desirable than to endure such indignity. Hence the Prophet does not say without reason, that that day would be great, so that none would be like it: and he said this, to shake away the torpidity of the people, for they thought that the holy city, which God had chosen for his habitation, could not fall, nor the Temple perish, he further says, that it would be a time of distress to the people. But at the end of the verse he gives them a hope of God’s mercy, even deliverance from this distress. We now, then, see the design of the Prophet in these verses. (3) — There will be no Lecture tomorrow on account of the Consistory. (3) “That day” in this verse, and “that day” in the following verse, seem to be the same. Then הוי must not be rendered “Alas,” but “Ho!” or “Hark!” according to its most common meaning. The passage from verse the 4 th ( Jeremiah 30:4 ,) to the end of this, including the beginning of the 8 th ( Jeremiah 30:8 ), may be thus rendered, — 4. Even these are the words which Jehovah hath said respecting Israel and respecting Judah: 5. Verily thus hath Jehovah said — (The voice of trembling have we heard, Of fear and not of peace: 6. Ask ye now and see, Does a man travail with child? How is it? I see every man With his hands on his loins like a woman in travail, And turned are all faces to paleness:) 7. Hark! for great shall be that day, none like it; Though a time of distress shall be to Jacob, Yet from it shall he be saved: 8. And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, That I shall break, etc.. etc.. The parenthesis accounts for what is said at the end of the 7 th verse ( Jeremiah 30:7 ) and is intended as a contrast with the great day of deliverance that is promised. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"

Jeremiah proceeds with what he touched upon in the last verse, even that the Lord, after having chastised his people, would at length shew mercy to them, so as to receive them into favor. He says, in short, that their captivity would not be perpetual. But we must remember what we have before stated, that is, that deliverance is only promised to the faithful, who would patiently and resignedly submit to God and not disregard his paternal correction. If, then, we desire God to be propitious to us, we must suffer ourselves to be paternally chastised by him; for if we resist when goaded, no pardon can by any means be expected, for we then, as it were, wilfully provoke God by our hardness. He therefore says, in that day, that is, when the appointed time was completed. The false prophets inflamed the people with false expectation, as though their deliverance was to take place after two years. God bade the faithful to wait, and not to be thus in a hurry; he had assigned a day for them, and that was, as we have seen, the seventieth year. He then mentions the yoke, that is, of the king of Babylon, and taking another view, the chains The yoke was what Nebuchadnezzar laid on the Jews; and the chains of the people were those by which Nebuchadnezzar had bound them. At last he adds, And rule over them shall no more strangers The verb עבד , obed, is to be taken here in a causative sense; even the form of the sentence shews this, and they who render the words, “and strangers shall not serve them,” wrest the meaning; for it could not be a promise; and this is inconsistent with the context, and requires no confutation, as it is evidently unsuitable. If the verb be taken in the sense of serving, then “strangers” must be in the dative case. We have seen before a similar phrase in Jeremiah 25:14 , where the Prophet says that neither kings nor strong nations would any longer rule over the Jews. The same verb is used, and the same form of expression. Strangers, then, shall make them serve no more; that is, they shall not rule over them so as slavishly to oppress them. (4) We now perceive the design of the Prophet; he exhorts the Jews to patience, and shews that though their exile would be long, yet their deliverance was certain. It follows, — (4) I render the verse as follows, — 8. And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, That I shall break his yoke from thy neck, And thy chains will I burst: And make him to serve shall strangers no more: 9. But serve shall they Jehovah, etc.. The transition from the second to the third person, “thy” and “him,” and from the singular to the plural, “him” and “they,” is very common in the Prophets.

예레미야는 마지막 절에서 잠깐 언급한 것, 즉 주님이 그분의 백성을 징책하신 후에 마침내 그들에게 자비를 보이시고 은혜로 그들을 받으실 것을 계속 이야기한다. 그는 간단히 말하면, 그들의 포로 생활이 영구적이지 않을 것이라고 말한다.

The former promise would have been defective had not this clause been added; for it would not be enough for men to live as they please, and to have liberty promised them, except a regular order be established. It would, indeed, be better for us to be wild beasts, and to wander in forests, than to live without government and laws; for we know how furious are the passions of men. Unless, therefore, there be some restraint, the condition of wild beasts would be better and more desirable than ours. Liberty, then, would ever bring ruin with it, were it not bridled and connected with regular government. I therefore said that this verse was added, that the Jews might know that God cared for their welfare; for he promises that nothing would be wanting to them. It is then a true and real happiness, when not only liberty is granted to us, but also when God prescribes to us a certain rule and sets up good order, that there may be no confusion. Hence Jeremiah, after having promised a return to the people into their own country, and promised also that the yoke would be shaken off from their neck, makes this addition, that having served strangers they would be now under the government of God and of their own king. Now this subjection is better than all the ruling powers of the world; that is, when God is pleased to rule over us, and undertakes the care of our safety, and performs the office of a Governor. We hence see that the design of the Prophet was to comfort the faithful, not only with the promise of liberty, but also with this addition, that in order that nothing might be wanting to their complete happiness, God himself would rule over them. Serve, then, shall they their God The word king is added, because God designed that his people should be governed by a king, not that the king would sit in the place of God, but added as his minister. Now this was said a long time after the death of David; for David was dead many years before Jeremiah was born: nor did he live again in order that he might rule over the people; but the name of David is to be taken here for any one that might succeed him. Now, as God had made a covenant with David, and promised that there would be always one of his posterity to sit on his throne, hence the Prophet here, in mentioning David, refers to all the kings until Christ: and yet no one after that time succeeded him, for the kingdom was abolished before the death of Jeremiah; and when the people returned into their own country there was no regal power, for Zerubbabel obtained only a precarious dignity, and by degrees that royal progeny vanished away; and though there were seventy chosen from the seed of David, yet there was no scepter, no crown, no throne. It is therefore necessary to apply this prophecy to Christ; for the crown was broken and trodden under foot, as Ezekiel says, until the lawful king came. He intimated that there was no king to be for a long time, when he said, “Cast down, cast down, cast down the crown.” ( Ezekiel 21:27 ) He therefore commanded the name of a king to be abolished, together with all its symbols, and that not for a short time but for ages, even until he came forth who had a just right to the crown or the royal diadem. We hence see that this passage cannot be otherwise explained than by referring to Christ, and that he is called David, as the Jews were always wont to call him before Christ appeared in the world; for they called the Messiah, whom they expected, the Son of David. We now understand the meaning of the Prophet. But we may hence gather a very useful doctrine, even this, — that nothing is better for us than to be in subjection to God; for our liberty would become that of wild beasts were God to allow us to live according to our own humor and inclinations. Liberty, then, will ever be destructive to us, until God undertakes the care of us, and prepares and forms us, that we may bear his yoke. Hence, when we obey God, we possess true and real happiness. When, therefore, we pray, let us learn not to separate these two things which ought necessarily to be joined together, even that God would deliver us from the tyranny of the ungodly, and also that he would himself rule over us. And this doctrine is suitable to our time: for if God were now only to break down the tyranny of the Pope and deliver his own people, and suffer them to wander here and there, so as to allow every one to follow his own will as his law, how dreadful would be the confusion! It is better that the devil should rule men under any sort of government, than that they should be set free without any law, without any restraint. Our time, indeed, sufficiently proves, that these two things have not, without reason, been joined together; that is, that God would become the liberator of his people, so as to shake off the yoke of miserable bondage and to break their chains, and also that he would be a king to govern his people. But we ought also carefully to notice what follows, — that God would not otherwise govern his Church than by a king. He designed to give an instance, or a prelude, of this very thing under the Law, when he chose David and his posterity. But to us especially belongs this promise; for the Jews, through their ingratitude, did not taste of the fruit of this promise: God deprived them of this invaluable benefit, which they might justly and with certainty have expected. As the favor which they have lost has now been transferred to us, what Jeremiah teaches here, as I have said, properly belongs to us; that is, that God is not our king except we obey Christ, whom he has set over us, and by whom he would have us to be governed. Whosoever, then, boast that they willingly bear the yoke of God, and at the same time reject the yoke of Christ, are condemned by this very prophecy; for it is not God’s will to rule uninterveniently, so to speak, his Church; but his will is that Christ, called here David, should be king; unless, indeed, we accuse Jeremiah of stating an

이전의 약속은 이 절이 더해지지 않았다면 불완전하였을 것이다. 사람들이 마음대로 살고 자유가 약속된 것만으로는 충분하지 않았을 것이기 때문이다. 정규적인 질서가 확립되지 않으면. 오히려 숲에서 방황하는 야수가 되는 것이 정부와 법 없이 사는 것보다 나을 것이다. 우리는 사람의 정욕이 얼마나 맹렬한지 알기 때문이다.

따라서 나는 이 절이 더해진 것은 유다 사람들이 하나님이 자신들의 안녕을 위해 돌보신다는 것을 알게 하기 위함이라고 말하였다. 그분이 그들에게 아무것도 부족하지 않을 것이라고 약속하시기 때문이다. 따라서 자유가 우리에게 허락될 뿐 아니라 하나님이 우리에게 일정한 규범을 제시하시고 선한 질서를 세우셔서 혼란이 없을 때, 그것이 참되고 실제적인 행복이다.

따라서 예레미야는 백성이 자신들의 나라로 돌아올 것이라는 약속을 한 후에 멍에가 그들의 목에서 벗겨질 것이라는 약속을 하고, 이 첨가를 한다. 그들이 이방인들을 섬긴 후에 이제 하나님과 자신들의 왕의 통치 아래 있게 될 것이라는 것이다.

그는 더한다. 그들의 왕 다윗을 섬기리라. 왕이라는 말은 하나님이 그분의 백성에게 왕으로 다스리도록 설계하셨다는 것이기 때문에 더해진다. 왕이 하나님의 자리에 앉는다는 의미가 아니라 그분의 청지기로 더해졌다는 것이다. 이것은 다윗이 죽은 지 오래 후에 말해진 것이다. 다윗이 다시 살아나서 백성을 다스리기 위해서가 아니라, 여기서 다윗의 이름은 그를 이을 어떤 사람을 의미하는 것으로 이해해야 한다.

이제 하나님이 다윗과 언약을 맺으시고 그의 후손 중에서 항상 한 사람이 그의 보좌에 앉을 것이라고 약속하셨으므로, 선지자는 여기서 다윗을 언급할 때 그리스도까지의 모든 왕들을 가리킨다. 따라서 이 예언은 그리스도에게 적용되어야 한다. 면류관이 적법한 왕이 오실 때까지 깨어지고 밟힐 것이기 때문이다. 이 구절이 그리스도를 언급하는 것 외에 다른 방식으로 설명될 수 없다는 것을 본다.

The Prophet enforces his doctrine by an exhortation; for it would not be sufficient simply to assure us of God’s paternal love and goodwill, unless we were encouraged to hope for it, because experience teaches us how backward and slow we are to embrace the promises of God. This, then, is the reason why the Prophet exhorts and encourages the faithful to entertain hope. Were there in us that promptitude and alacrity which we ought to have, we should be content even with one word; for what can be wished for beyond God’s testimony respecting his favor? But our listlessness renders many goads necessary. Hence, when doctrine precedes, it is necessary to add exhortations to stimulate us; and these confirm the doctrine, so that the grace of God may flourish effectually in our hearts. He addresses “Jacob” and “Israel;” but they mean the same, as in many other places. These duplicates, as they are called, are common, we know, in the Hebrew language; for the same words are repeated for the sake of emphasis. So, in this passage, there is more force when Jeremiah mentions two names, than if he had said only, “Fear not thou, Jacob, and be not afraid.” He then says, Fear not thou, Jacob; and Israel, be not thou afraid (5) And he does this, that the Jews might remember that God had not only been once propitious to their father Jacob, but many times; for from the womb he bore a symbol of that primogeniture which God had destined for him; and he afterwards had, for the sake of honor, the name of Israel given to him. As, then, God had in various ways, and in succession, manifested his goodness to Jacob, the people might hence entertain more hope. He calls him his servant; not that the Jews were worthy of so honorable a title; but God had regard to himself, and his gratuitous adoption, rather than to their merits. He did not then call them servants, because they were obedient, for we know how contumaciously they rejected both God and his Prophets; but because he had adopted them. So when David says, “I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid,” ( Psalms 116:16 ) he does not boast of his obedience, nor claim to himself any deserving virtue, but, on the contrary, declares, that before he was created in the womb, he was God’s servant through his gratuitous adoption. Hence, he adds, “I am the son of thine handmaid,” as though he had said, “I belong to thee by an hereditary right, because I am descended from that nation which thou hast been pleased to choose for thy peculiar people.” We now then see that the name servant, ought not to be understood as intimating the merits of the people, and that their obedience is not here commended, as though they had truly and faithfully responded to the call of God, but that their gratuitous adoption is alone extolled. He adds, Behold, I will save thee from far He first declares that he would be ready to save the people when the suitable time came; for behold here intimates certainty. And he subjoins, from far, lest the people should fail in their confidence; for they had been driven into distant exile; and distance is a great obstacle. Were any one to promise to us an advantageous retreat, without calling us away to some unknown country, we could more easily embrace the promise; but were any one to say, “I promise to you the largest income in Syria, and you shall have there whatever may be deemed necessary to make your life happy;” would you not reply, “What! shall I pass over the sea, that I may live there? it is better for me to live here in comparative poverty than to be a king there.” As, then, a difficulty might have presented itself to the Jews, when they saw that they had been driven away into very remote countries, the Prophet adds, that this circumstance would be no obstacle so as to prevent God to save them: I will save you then from far; as though he had said, that his hands were long enough, so that he could extend them as far as Chaldea, and draw them from thence. He then adds, and thy seed from the land of their captivity As the expectation of seventy years was long, God refers what he promises to their seed. There is no doubt but that the Prophet reminded the Jews, that the time determined by God was to be waited for in patience, as was the case with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for though they knew that they would be strangers in the land which God had promised them, yet they did not on that account despise or disregard the favor promised them. Abraham received in faith what he had heard from God’s mouth, “I will give thee this land;” and yet he knew that he would be there a stranger and a sojourner. ( Genesis 12:7 ) His children had to exercise the same patience. Abraham had indeed been warned of a very long delay; for God had declared that his seed would be in bondage for four hundred years. ( Genesis 15:13 ) Here, then, the Prophet exhorts the people of his time to entertain hope, according to the example of their father, and not to despise God’s favor, because its fruit did not immediately appear; for Abraham did not enjoy the land as long as he lived, and yet he preferred it to his own country; Isaac did the same; and Jacob followed the example of his fathers. This, then, is the reason why the Prophet mentions seed, as though he had said, “If the fruit of redemption will not come to you, yet God will not disappoint your hope, for your posterity shall find that he is true and faithful.” If any one had then objected, and said, “What is that to me?” the objection would have been preposterous; for why had God promised to their posterity a return to their own country? was it not thus to testify his love towards them? And whence came their freedom, and whence God’s paternal love, except from the covenant? We hence see that the salvation of the fathers was included in the benefit which their sons enjoyed. And therefore, though the fruition of that benefit was not visibly granted to the fathers, yet they partook in part of the fruit, for it was made certain

그는 야곱과 이스라엘에게 말한다. 그러나 그것들은 여러 다른 곳에서처럼 같은 것을 의미한다. 이런 반복들은 히브리 언어에서 강조를 위해 흔한 것임을 우리는 안다. 따라서 이 구절에서 예레미야가 두 이름을 언급할 때 그가 단지 "야곱아 두려워하지 말라, 놀라지 말라"고만 말했을 때보다 더 많은 힘이 있다.

그런 다음 그는 더한다. 나는 그들의 하나님의 종이라고 부른다. 유다 사람들이 그토록 명예로운 칭호를 받을 가치가 있어서가 아니다. 하나님이 그들의 공로보다는 자신을 그리고 그분의 거저 주시는 입양을 돌아보셨기 때문이다.

그는 또 더한다. 보라, 내가 멀리서 너를 구원하리라. 그는 먼저 적절한 때가 오면 백성을 구원할 준비가 되어 있다고 선언한다. 보라는 확실성을 나타내기 때문이다. 그리고 그는 덧붙인다. 멀리서라고, 그렇지 않으면 자신들의 신뢰에서 실패할 수 있었기 때문이다. 그들이 아주 먼 곳으로 쫓겨났기 때문이다. 그리고 거리는 큰 장애물이다.

따라서 이렇게 흩어진 후에 하나님이 그들을 모으실 수 없다는 것이 믿을 수 없게 보일 수 있었다. 선지자는 그들에게 멀리서 구원하리라고 말함으로써 이것에 대응한다. 마치 그분의 손들이 그들을 갈대아에서 끌어낼 만큼 충분히 길다는 것을 말하는 것 같다.

He repeats in other words what we have already stated, but for the purpose of giving fuller support to trembling and wavering minds. God then promises that he would be present with his people to save them. Now as this could not easily be believed, and as the Jews looking only on their state at that time could not but despair, the Prophet added this comparison between them and the Gentiles. The Chaldeans and the Assyrians flourished seventy years in every kind of wealth, in luxuries, in honor — in short, they possessed every thing necessary for an earthly happiness. What, then, could the Jews have thought, but that unbelievers and God’s enemies were happy, but that they were miserable, being oppressed by hard servitude and loaded with many reproaches, and living also in poverty, and counted as sheep destined for the slaughter? When, therefore, all these things were plain before their eyes, what but despair must have laid hold on their minds? Therefore God obviates this evil; (7) And he says that he would make a consummation among the nations, as though he had said, “When I begin to punish the Gentile nations, I will destroy them with an utter destruction, no hope will remain for them. But as to thee, I will not make a consummation.” Thus he makes a difference between the punishment inflicted on the reprobate and ungodly and that by which he would chastise the sins of his people; for the punishment he would inflict on the wicked would be fatal, while the punishment by which he would chastise his Church would be only for a time; it would therefore be to it for medicine and salvation. We now, then, perceive what the Prophet had in view: he mitigated the bitterness of grief as to the faithful, for God would not wholly cast them away. And he shews that their scourges ought to be patiently borne, because they were to hope for an end of them; but that it would be different when he visited the reprobate, because he would leave them without any hope. In short, he says, that he would be a severe judge to the last degree as to the unbelieving, but that he would chastise his own people as a Father. Other passages seem, however, to militate against this view; for God declares that he would make a consummation as to his chosen people, as in Isaiah 10:23 , and in other places. But the explanation is obvious; for there he refers to the whole body of the people, which were alienated from him; but here his word is addressed to the faithful, “the remnant of grace,” as Paul calls them, ( Romans 11:5 ) We ought, therefore, ever to consider who those are whom the Prophets address; for at one time they refer to the promiscuous mass, and at another time they address apart the faithful, and promise them salvation. Thus, then, we have before seen that God would make a consummation as to his people, that is, the reprobate; but the Prophet here turns his discourse to the Church and the seed which God would preserve in safety among a people apparently cut off and lost. Whenever, therefore, the devil would drive us to despair, whenever we are harassed in our minds when God deals with us more severely than we expect, let this consolation be remembered, that God will not make a consummation with us; for what is here said of the Church may and ought to be applied to every individual believer. God, indeed, handles them often roughly when he sees it necessary for them, but he never wholly consumes them. I will not make, he says, a consummation with thee, but I will chastise thee in judgment Here the copulative ought to be taken as an adversative particle, and “judgment” has the sense of moderation, as we have seen in Jeremiah 10:24 , “Chastise me, O Lord, but not in thy wrath;” he had mentioned “judgment” before. In this sense is judgment used here, that is, for that moderation which God adopts towards his chosen, for he is ever mindful of his mercy, and regards not what they deserve, but what they can bear. When, therefore, God withholds his hand and gently chastises his people, he is said to punish them in judgment, that is, moderately. For judgment is not to be taken here for rectitude, because God never exceeds due limits so as to be subject to the charge of cruelty; judgment is also opposed to just rigor, and it is often opposed to injustice; but in this place we are to understand that the contrast is between judgment and the just rigor of God. Then judgment is nothing else but the mitigation of wrath. At last he adds, By cleansing I will not cleanse thee, or, “by cutting down I will not cut thee down.” The verb, נקה , nuke, means sometimes to cleanse, or to render innocent; and it means also intransitively to be pure and harmless; but it is to be taken here transitively. It cannot, then, be rendered otherwise than “by cleansing I will not cleanse thee,” or, “I will not cut thee down;” for it has also this meaning, and either of the two senses is suitable. If we read, “I will not cut thee down,” it is the continuation of the same subject; “I will chastise thee in judgment, and I will not therefore cut thee down,” that is, I will not make a consummation. It would then be, as it is evident, a very suitable connection, and it would run smoothly were we to read, “I will not cut thee down.” But the other version is also appropriate, though it may admit of a twofold meaning; some take it adversatively, “Though I shall not make thee innocent;” that is, though I shall not spare thee, but chastise thee moderately; and this intimation was very seasonable; for the flesh ever seeks impunity. Now God sees that it is not good for us to escape unpunished when we offend; it is then necessary to bear in mind this doctrine, that though God will not allow us to be exempt from punishment, nor indulge us, but smite us with his rods, he is yet moderate in his judgment towards us. But others refer to this passage in Isaiah, “I made thee to pass through the furnace and refined thee, but not as silver, otherwise thou wouldest have been consum

The design of the Prophet is first to be noticed: he was fighting with those impostors who gave hope of a return in a short time to the people, while seventy years, as it has been said, were to be expected. The Prophet then wished to shew to the people how foolishly they hoped for an end to their evils in so short a time. And this is what ought to be carefully observed, for it was not without reason that the Prophet dwelt much on this point; for nothing is more difficult than to lead men to a serious acknowledgment of God’s judgment. When any thing adverse happens, they are tender and sensitive as to the evils they endure; but at the same time they look not to God, and comfort themselves with vain imaginations. It was therefore necessary for the Prophet to dwell on his doctrine at large; for he saw that the Israelites promised to themselves a return after two years, though they had been warned by the Prophets that they were to bear the scourge of God for seventy years. This is the reason why the Prophet speaks here of the grievousness of evils, not because the Israelites were insensible, but because they had been credulous, and were still hoping for a return, so that they deceived themselves with false comfort. He therefore says, that the breaking was grievous; some give this rendering, “Unhealable, or hopeless, is thy bruising.” But אנוש , anush, is here a substantive, for it is followed by the preposition ל , lamed; nor can what the Prophet says be rendered otherwise than in this manner, “Grievousness is to thy bruising,” or breaking. He afterwards adds that the wound was grievous, that is, difficult to be healed; for so I understand the passage. (9) But the end was to be hoped for; yet the people were not to think it near at hand; they were, on the contrary, to prepare themselves for patient waiting until the end prescribed by God had come. It follows, — (9) The ל in Hebrew is sometimes the, κατὰ in Greek; it means, as to, with regard to; so here, — Incurable as to thy bruise, Grievous has been thy stroke. Or we may give this rendering, inverting the order, — As to thy bruise, it is incurable; Grievous has been thy stroke. The “bruise” occasioned by the “grievous stroke” was incurable, that is, by human means. The effect is mentioned first, “the bruise;” then the cause, “the stroke.” — Ed . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"

The Prophet speaks first without a figure, then he illustrates the simple truth by a metaphor. He says that there was no one to undertake the cause of the people; as though he had said, that they were destitute of every aid. This was, indeed, in a measure already evident; but so supine was the security of the people, that they daily formed for themselves some new hopes. Then Jeremiah declared what had already in part happened and was still impending; and thus he proved the folly of the people, who still flattered themselves while they were involved in evils almost without a remedy. “Thou seest,” he says, “that there is no one to stretch forth a hand to thee, or who is ready to help thee; and yet thou thinkest that thou wilt soon be free: whence is this vain expectation?” He then comes to a metaphor, There is no one to apply medicine for thy healing In one sentence he includes the whole first chapter of Isaiah, who handles the subject, but explains more fully his meaning. There is, however, nothing obscure when the Prophet says that there was no one to heal the evils of the people. (10) We must ever bear in mind his object, that is, that the people were too easily deceived, when they hoped to return shortly to their own country. But we may hence gather a general truth, — that men never understand the favor of God until they are subdued by many and severe reproofs: for they always shun God’s judgment, and then they become blind to their own sins, and foolishly flatter themselves. And, further, when they only in words confess that they have sinned, they think that they have done abundantly enough. They ought therefore to be urged to the practice and duty of repentance. It afterwards follows — (10) According to Calvin, the verse reads thus, — No one undertakes thy cause; For a cure, medicines and healing thou hast not. This division is made by the Sept., though not by the other versions, nor the Targ. Venema adopts it. The word מזור , rendered above “cure,” means evidently a wound. It only occurs here, and Obadiah 1:7 , and twice in Hosea 5:13 , where it is rendered “wound.” It comes from זור , in the sense of compressing or binding up; but the noun taken passively, signifies what is compressed or bound up, and that is a wound. Then the literal rendering would be — None is pleading thy cause; As to the wound, medicatives, binding up, none to thee; or in other words, — As to the wound, thou hast no medicatives, no binding up. The word רפאות means medicatives or medicaments, rather than medicines, as it designates here, and in most places, outward applications to wounds and bruises. The order, as in the foregoing verse, is reversed, the medicaments are put before the binding up. See Ezekiel 30:21 . — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"

The Prophet again repeats, that nothing remained for Israel as coming from men, for no one offered to bring help. Some, indeed, explain the words as though the Prophet had said, that friends, as it is usually the case, concealed themselves through shame on seeing the condition of the people hopeless: for as long as friends can relieve the sick, they are ready at hand, and anxiously exert themselves, but when life is despaired of, they no longer appear. But the Prophet, I have no doubt, condemns here the Jews for the false confidence with which they had been long fascinated; for we know, that at one time they placed hope in the Egyptians; at another in the Assyrians; and thus it happened that they brought on themselves many calamities. And we have seen elsewhere, in many passages, that these confederacies are compared to impure lusts; for when the people sought at one time the friendship of the Egyptians, at another, that of the Assyrians, it was a kind of adultery. God had taken the Jews under his care and protection; but unbelief led them astray, so that. they sought to strengthen themselves by the aid of others. Hence, everywhere in the Prophets the Egyptians and the Assyrians are compared to lovers. And this view will suit well here; for it was not enough to point out the miseries of the people, without making known the cause of them. Then the Prophet refers to those false counsels which the Jews had adopted, when they thought themselves secure and safe while the Egyptians, or the Assyrians, or the Chaldeans were favorable to them. For this reason he says, that all their friends had forgotten them, and also that they did not inquire for them, that is, that they had cast off every care for them. And he adds the reason, because God had smitten, the people with an hostile wound Here the Prophet summons them again to God’s tribunal, that they might learn to consider that these evils did not happen by chance, but that they were the testimonies of God’s just wrath. God then comes forth here, and declares himself the author of all those calamities; for the Prophet would have spoken to no purpose of the miseries of the people, had not this truth been thoroughly impressed on their minds, — that they had to do with God. Now, that God calls himself an enemy, and compares himself to a cruel enemy, must not be so understood as that the covenant had been abolished by which he had adopted the children of Abraham as his own; for he, through his mercy, always reserved some remnants. Nor ought we to understand that there was excess in God’s severity, as though he raged cruelly against his people, when he executed his judgments: but this ought to be understood according to the common perceptions of men. God also calls elsewhere the Israelites his enemies, but not without lamentation, “Alas!” he says, “I will take vengeance on my enemies.” ( Isaiah 1:24 ) He assumed there the character of one grieving, as though he had said, that he unwillingly proceeded to so much rigor, for he would have willingly spared the people, had not necessity forced him to such severity. But, as I have already said, when God calls himself the enemy of his people, it ought to be understood of temporal punishment, or it ought to be explained of the reprobate and lost, who had wholly alienated themselves from God’s favor, and whom God had also cut off from the body of his Church as putrid members. But as the Prophet here addresses the faithful, there is no doubt but that God calls himself an enemy, because, according to the state of things at that time, the Jews could not have otherwise thought than that God was angry with them. With regard to cruel one, we have already said, that excess is thereby denoted, as though too much rigor or severity were ascribed to God: but the Jews could not have been otherwise awakened to consider their sins, nor be sufficiently terrified so as to be led seriously to acknowledge the judgment of God. And God himself, in what follows, sufficiently proves, that though he compares himself to a severe or cruel man, yet nothing wrong could be found in his judgments. For he adds, for the multitude of thine iniquity, because thy sins have prevailed Though the Jews thought that God acted severely, when he threatened them with long exile, here their mouth was closed by the multitude of their iniquity; as though he had said, “Set in a balance on one side, the weight of the punishment of which ye complain, and on the other side the heap of sins by which ye have often, and for a long time, provoked my wrath against you.” God then, by multitude of iniquity, shews that it could not be ascribed to him as a fault that he so severely punished the Jews, because they deserved to be so punished. And he confirms the same thing in other words, not that there was anything ambiguous in what he had said, but because the Prophet saw that he had to do with perverse men. That he might then reprove their indifference, he says, that their sins had grown strong (11) It follows — (11) It is better to retain the literal word “lovers,” than “friends,” as rendered by the Sept., the Syr., and the Targ., though not by the Vulg. The particle על is commonly a preposition, but not when preceding a verb, as here; and that רב is a verb here is proved by the sentence which follows, which is in apposition; and it is so rendered by Blayney. The verse may be thus rendered — 14. All thy lovers have forgotten thee, Thee they seek not: Verily with the stroke of an enemy have I struck thee, — With a violent correction; Because multiplied had thine iniquity, Grown strong had thy sins, etc. The word for “violent,” or cruel, is so construed in the early versions; the Targ. alone countenances our version. The last line conveys a different idea from the preceding. The verb, indeed, means strong in number as well as strong in power; but as number is expressed in the previous line, we may justly consider that power is meant here: their sins were not only ma

선지자는 이스라엘에게 사람에게서 오는 것이 아무것도 남아 있지 않다는 것을 다시 반복한다. 손을 뻗어 도움을 가져올 자가 아무도 없기 때문이다.

선지자는 여기서 유다 사람들이 오랫동안 매혹되어 있던 거짓된 신뢰를 책망한다는 것을 의심할 여지없다. 우리는 그들이 한때는 이집트 사람들에게, 다른 때는 앗수르 사람들에게 소망을 두었다는 것을 안다. 이것이 예언서들에서 이 연합들이 불순한 정욕들에 비교되는 이유다. 하나님이 유다 사람들을 그분의 보호 아래 두셨지만, 불신앙이 그들을 멀리 이끌어 다른 사람들의 도움으로 자신들을 강화하려 하였다.

이것이 선지자가 그들의 모든 친구들이 그들을 잊었다고 말하는 이유다. 그리고 그는 이유를 더한다. 하나님이 백성을 적대적인 상처로 치셨기 때문이다. 선지자는 다시 그들을 하나님의 심판석으로 불러들인다. 이 악들이 우연히 일어난 것이 아니라 하나님의 정당한 진노의 증거라는 것을 알게 하기 위함이다.

The Prophet now anticipates an objection, lest the Jews should expostulate with God; for it sufficiently appears that they always complained of God’s extreme severity, when they indulged themselves in their vices. As soon then as God treated them as they deserved, they became exasperated and enraged against him. Hence the Prophet now meets their perverse and unjust complaints, and asks, why they cried out for their bruising, as though he had said, that these clamors were much too late, when they had passed by the season for repentance. For God had suspended his extreme threatenings until the people had betrayed so much obstinacy, that there was no room for mercy. When, therefore, the people’s wickedness had become unhealable, the Prophet, as we have seen, proclaimed their exile. Now, indeed, he derides their late crying, for they had been too long torpid in their contempt of God: Why, then, dost thou cry for thy bruising? grievous is thy sorrow, or, grievousness is to thy sorrow; (12) but for the multitude of thine iniquity, and because thy sins have grown strong, have I done these things to thee Here God frees himself from the calumnies of the people, and shews that those who murmured or made a clamor, acted unjustly, having not considered what they merited: for they were worthy of the heaviest punishment, because they not only in one way brought ruin on themselves, and more and more kindled God’s vengeance, but had also for many years hardened themselves in their sins; and they had, besides, given themselves up, in various ways, to every kind of wickedness, so that the Prophet justly upbraided them with a multitude of iniquity, and also with a mass of sins. God then says, that he had not exceeded the limits of moderation in the punishment he inflicted on the people, because their desperate wickedness and perverseness compelled him. But consolation is immediately subjoined, — (12) Rather “sore,” or wound. The word מכאב indeed means sometimes the soreness or wound of the mind, that is, sorrow or grief; but here, no doubt, it retains its primary idea, correspondently with stroke, bruise, and wound. The Targ. retains this meaning, while the versions go all astray. Then it is, “Miserable is thy sore.” The rest of the verse is as follows, — Because multiplied had thine iniquity, Grown strong had thy sins, Have I done these things to thee. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"

선지자는 이제 이의를 예상한다. 유다 사람들이 하나님의 극도의 심각함에 대해 항의하지 않도록 하기 위함이다. 그들이 자신들의 악에 탐닉하면서 항상 하나님의 극도의 심각함에 대해 불평하였다는 것이 충분히 나타나기 때문이다. 따라서 선지자는 이제 그들의 완악하고 부당한 불평들을 만나서, 마치 그들이 회개의 때를 지나쳐버린 후에 그런 외침들은 너무 늦었다는 것을 말하는 것처럼, 왜 그들의 파열에 대해 외치느냐고 묻는다.

왜 네 파열 때문에 외치느냐? 그러나 네 죄악의 많음과 네 죄가 강해졌기 때문에 내가 이것들을 너에게 행하였다. 하나님은 여기서 불평하거나 외치는 자들이 자신들이 받을 만한 것을 고려하지 않아 부당하게 행하였다는 것을 보여줌으로써 비방들에서 자신을 자유케 하신다.

Here, again, the Prophet promises that God would be gracious to his people, but after a long time, when that perverseness would be subdued, which could not be soon cured. We ought, then, ever to bear in mind the difference between the promise of favors, of which Jeremiah was a witness and a herald, and those vain boastings, by which the false prophets deceived the people, when they encouraged them to expect a return in a short time, and said that the term of deliverance was at hand. And this difference ought to be noticed on this account, because a most useful doctrine may hence be gathered: the unprincipled men who basely pretend God’s name, have this in common with his true and faithful servants, — that they both hold forth the favor of God: but those who falsely use God’s name bury the doctrine of repentance; for they seek only to soothe people with flatteries: and as they hunt for favor, they wholly omit the doctrine that may offend, and is in no way sweet and pleasant to the flesh. Jeremiah did not, indeed, deal so severely with the people, but that he gave them some hope of pardon, and always mitigated whatever severity there was in the doctrine of repentance: but at the same time he did not, by indulgence, cherish the vices of the people, as was wont to be done by the false prophets. But what did these do? they boasted that God was merciful, slow to wrath, and ready to be reconciled to sinners: hence they concluded that exile would not be long; and at the same time, as we have said, they perfidiously flattered the people. So then, it ought to be borne in mind, that we are not fit to receive the favor of God, nor are capable of it, so to speak, until all the pride of the flesh be really subdued, and also all self-security be corrected and removed. We now see why the Prophet subjoined the promise of favor, after having spoken of the dreadful judgment of God. But the illative, לכן laken, does not seem suitable; for how can this verse be connected with the threatenings which we have noticed? Therefore they who devour thee shall be devoured But therefore refers to what he had before said. (13) It is not then strange, that he draws the inference, — that God having taken vengeance on the wickedness of the people, would also execute vengeance on their enemies. Then the illative is not unsuitable, because the time of mercy had arrived when the Jews became subdued, so as to humble themselves before God and to repent of their sins. But there is here a common doctrine which we meet with everywhere in the Prophets, even that God, after having made a beginning with his Church, becomes then a judge of all nations; for if he by no means spares his elect, his own family, how can he leave aliens unpunished? And it is the perpetual consolation of the Church, that though God employs the wicked as scourges to chastise his people, vet their condition is not better, for when they have triumphed for a moment, God will soon bring them to judgment. There is, therefore, no reason why the faithful should envy their enemies when they are chastened by God’s hand, and when their enemies exult in their pleasures; for their prosperity will soon come to an end, and with the same measure will God mete unto them the reward of the wrong done to his people. Whosoever, then, devours thee shall be devoured, and all thine enemies, yea, all, shall go into captivity; and, lastly, they who plunder thee, etc., which is rendered by some, “they who tread thee shall be for treading.” But as the verb means plundering, to avoid repetition, I prefer the former meaning: “They, then, who spoil thee shall become a spoil, and they who plunder thee shall be for plunder.” The reason follows, — (13) What seems to be his meaning is, that as God had punished his people, therefore he would punish the nations. The versions and the Targ. render it “therefore;” but Lowth gives “yet surely;” and Blayney, “afterwards.” But we may render it “therefore,” or for this reason, as anticipative of what is contained at the end of the next verse, “Because an outcast have they called thee. Sion, whom no one seeks.” Venema, apprehending this to be the sense of the passage, supposed that the two verses have been transposed: but this kind of construction is not unfrequent in Scripture. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"

When God promised favor to the Jews, he referred to their enemies; for it would have been a grievous temptation, which would have otherwise not only disturbed and depressed their minds, but also extinguished all faith, to see their enemies enjoying all they could wish, and successful in everything they attempted, had not this consolation been granted them, — that their enemies would have at length to render an account for the wickedness in which they gloried. But now the main thing is here expressed, — that God, when reconciled to his people, would heal the wounds which he had inflicted; for he who inflicts wounds on us, can alone heal us. He exercises judgment in punishing, he afterwards undertakes the office of a Physician, to deliver us from our evils. It is, therefore, the same as though the Prophet had said, “When the right time shall pass away, which God has fixed as to his people, deliverance is to be hoped for with certainty; for the Lord has decreed to punish his people only for a time, and not wholly to destroy them.” Iwill bring thee, he says, healing, and will heal thee of thy wounds And this admonition was very necessary, for the Jews had nearly rotted in their exile when God delivered them. They might have then been a hundred times overwhelmed with despair; but God bids them here to raise upwards their minds, so as to expect help from heaven, for there was none on earth. And he adds, because they called thee, Zion, an outcast whom no one seeketh; that is, of whom, or of whose welfare, no one is solicitous. He confirms what I have before said, — that the extreme evils of the people would be no hinderance when God came to deliver them, but, on the contrary, be the future occasion of favor and mercy. When, therefore, the people should become so sunk in misery as to make all to think their deliverance hopeless, God promises that he would then be their Redeemer. And this is what we ought carefully to notice: for we look around us here and there, whenever we hope for any help; but God shews that he will be then especially propitious to us, when we are in a hopeless state according to the common opinion of men.

Jeremiah goes on with the same subject, and dwells on it more at large; for as it was difficult to lead the people seriously to repent, so it was difficult to raise up desponding minds after they had been subjected to a multitude of calamities. God then declares here again that he would come to restore his people from captivity. Behold, he says, I restore, etc., as though he was already prepared with an outstretched hand to liberate his people. Let it be noticed, that the Prophet did not in vain represent God as present; but he, no doubt, had regard to the want of faith in the people, and sought to remove this defect. Since then the Jews thought themselves wholly forsaken, the Prophet testifies that God would be present with them, and he introduces him as speaking, Behold, I restore, etc., as though he was already the liberator of the people. He names the restoration of tents and habitations, because they had been long sojourners in Chaldea and other countries, where they had been scattered. As then they had their own dwellings, the Prophet reminds them that they were yet but strangers among the nations, for God would restore them to their own country, which was their real dwelling-place. This is the reason why he speaks of tents and habitations. He, at the same time, points out the cause of their redemption, even mercy, so that the Jews might at length learn to flee to this their sole asylum, and know that there was no other remedy for their calamities than this, — that God should look on them according to his mercy, for he might have justly destroyed them altogether. In short, the Prophet reminds them that they must have perished for ever, had not God at length shewed mercy to them. He mentions a fuller display of his favor, — that he would again build Jerusalem upon its own heap, or hill, as some render it; for the situation of the city was high, and towered above other parts of Judea. But it seems to me that the Prophet means that the city would be built on its own foundations, for he calls here the ruins heaps, or piles. For the city had been destroyed in such a manner, that yet some ruins remained, and some vestiges of the walls. It is then the same as though he had said, that the city, however splendid and wealthy in former times, would yet be so restored, that its dignity would not be less than before. But he speaks of its extent when he says, that it would be built upon its heaps, that is, on its ancient foundations. And this point is confirmed by what immediately follows, the palace shall be set in its own form or station, על משפטו al meshephthu. The word שפט shepheth, properly means judgment, but it means also form, measure, manner, custom. Here, no doubt, the Prophet means that the king’s palace would be equally splendid to what it had been, and in the same place. Some think that ארמון armun, means the Temple; and this sense I do not reject; but as the Hebrews for the most part understand by this term a splendid, large, or high building, I prefer the former sense, that is, that he speaks of the royal palace: stand then will the king’s palace in its own form or place, as though it had never been destroyed. (14) In short, he promises such a restoration of the city and kingdom, that no less favor from God was to be expected in the second state of the Church, than it had formerly; for God would obliterate all memory of calamities when the Church again flourished, and the kingdom became so eminent in wealth, honor, power, and other excellencies, that it would evidently appear that God had only for a time been displeased with his Church. (14) The versions and the Targ. render the word for “palace,” temple; and as the former clause has “on its heap,” or, on its ruins, so in this the same preposition is used, and seems to require a similar construction, “on its former spot,” or, on its wonted place. The word משפט denotes what is customary or usual, as well as what is right and just. Then the two lines would read thus, — And built shall be the city on its ruins, And the palace on its wonted seat shall be fixed, (or shall stand.) But the versions and the Targ. vary the meaning of the preposition. The Vulg., with which the rest essentially agree, is, “And the temple according to its order, shall be founded.” Blayney renders the line thus, — And the palace shall be established upon its (former) plan. As in the previous line, the place is designated, it is probable that the place also is meant here. — Ed . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-19" class="com-number"

The Prophet confirms what he had said. We have stated that the Jews, while any hope remained for them, were perverse towards God, but that, after they were brought to extremities, they became extremely dejected; for they lost all hope as to their state, and became so desponding that they would receive no consolation. It was not therefore enough, slightly, or in a few words, to promise them restoration; it was necessary that the promise should be repeatedly confirmed. This then is now the subject of the Prophet; he promises that praise and the voice of joy would proceed from them. We ought to notice here the contrast between sighings, groanings, complaints, lamentations, and giving of thanks; for as long as they were detained in exile, no praise could have been heard among them. Sorrow is, indeed, no hinderance to prevent us to bless God in extreme misery; but we cannot with a full mouth, so to speak, bless God, except when some cause of joy is presented to us. Hence is that saying of James, “Is any joyful among you? let him sing.” ( James 5:13 ) As then the Prophet speaks of thanksgiving, he intimates that God’s favor would be so great as to remove every sorrow and sadness from the Jews. But he indirectly exhorts the faithful to celebrate God’s kindness. Had he only said, “Go forth from them shall the voice of joy,” it would, indeed, have been a complete sentence; but it was also necessary to remind the faithful for what end God would deal so kindly with his people, even that they might proclaim his goodness; for this is the design for which we receive every good from God’s hand. Thanksgiving is then usually connected with joy, when mention is made of the Church. But we have said that the faithful cannot with so much alacrity praise God, when they are pressed down by distresses, as when God makes their hearts to rejoice; for grief holds bound all the feelings of men; but joy, proceeding from a perception of God’s paternal favor, dilates as it were their souls; and hence also their tongues are set loose. For this reason it is said in Psalms 51:15 , “O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.” David there intimates that he had been for a time silent; when God hid from him his face, he could not taste of his paternal goodness. During that time David had his heart as it were bound and his mouth closed; but he prays the Lord to open his mouth, that is, to grant him joy that he might give him thanks. We now perceive the meaning of the Prophet: he intimates, that though the Jews would be in sorrow for a time, would groan and mourn, yet this condition would not be perpetual; for God would at length comfort them, so that they would not only rejoice, but also proclaim his mercy when liberated. He adds, I will increase them, and they shall not be lessened; I will adorn them, etc. Some render this also, “I will increase them:“ but the words are different; and כבד cebed, means sometimes to increase, and sometimes to adorn, to glorify, to honor. The words which follow are also different, מעת moth, and צער tsor. And though the Prophet meant to repeat nearly the same thing, yet there is no doubt but that he intended to set forth the favor of God by this variety, as though he had said, that so remarkable would be the mercy of God, that the Jews would acknowledge, that what had been promised to their father Abraham had been fillfilled to them, “Thy seed shall be as the sand of the sea, and as the stars of heaven.” ( Genesis 22:17 ) The perpetuity also, or the continuity of his favor is denoted, when he says, they shall not be lessened, they shall not be made small. It is possible for a people to increase for a short time; but such a thing is often of no long duration, for the form of this world passeth away. God then promises stability and perpetuity to his Church, for he would manifest his favor to it from day to day, and from year to year. (15) This is the meaning. It follows — (15) The meaning of the latter verbs in these clauses is to be ascertained by the preceding verbs: “I will multiply,” or increase “them;” then the opposite to this is, “and they shall not be lessened,” or decreased: and when it is said, “I will glorify,” or honor “them,” the corresponding contrast to this is, “they shall not be degraded,” or dishonored. The first clause refers to number, and the second to honor, dignity, or renown. Then the right version would be as follows, — And I will multiply them, and they shall not be lessened, I will also honor them, and they shall not be degraded. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-20" class="com-number"

This abundance of words which the Prophet employs is by no means useless; for we ought always to remember how hard were their temptations when no token of God’s favor appeared for seventy years. It was hence necessary to sustain minds overwhelmed with evils by many supports, so that they might not wholly faint; and he adds promises to promises, that the Jews might see as it were a spark of light from the deep abyss. And hence, also, we may gather a useful admonition: Though the Lord may favor us today, so that we are not exercised by very grievous trials, yet every one knows by his own experience, how prone we are to despond; and then when we once begin to faint, how difficult it is to be raised up to the confidence of hope. Let us then learn to join promises to promises, so that if one will not suffice, another may. He now says that their children would be as from the beginning Some give this refined explanation, that the children of the Church would be as from the beginning, that is, before the Law; for the covenant of grace was made by God with Abraham before the Law was proclaimed: they hence think that the abrogation of the Law is here denoted, as though he had said, that the Church would be free when Christ came, and that the servile yoke of the Law would then be removed. But this kind of refinement I cannot approve; for I do not think that such a notion ever entered into the mind of the Prophet. I have then no doubt but that the reference here is to the kingdom of David, as though the Prophet had said, that the state of the Church would be no less prosperous and happy under Christ than formerly under David. Were any one to object and say, that Christ’s kingdom is much more happy than that of David: this I grant; but the prophets ever compare the kingdom of Christ with the kingdom of David, and they were content with this way of teaching, as it exceeded the hope of the people; for the Jews thought it not credible that they could ever attain their ancient renown. When, therefore, he says here, that the children of Judah would be as at the beginning, there is no doubt with me but that he had a regard to that promise, which declares that the seed of David would be for ever on his throne, as long as the sun and moon shone in the heavens. ( Psalms 89:37 ) The meaning is, that though the kingdom would through a dreadful ruin become extinct, together with all its dignity, the Jews would yet, through Christ, recover what they had lost through their sins, ingratitude, and perverseness. He afterwards adds, His seed shall be established before my face, and I will visit all his oppressors Here again God confirms the promise concerning the perpetuity of his Church. He therefore says that the assembly of the people would be established before him, (16) by which words he bids the Jews to look upwards, for in the world nothing was to be found but despair. God then calls the attention of the Jews to himself, when he says that the Church would be established before his face. And as the power of enemies was so great, that the faithful might justly object and say, that every avenue was closed up against God’s favor, he adds, that God on the other hand had sufficient power to destroy and to reduce to nothing all their enemies; and he mentions all, because the Chaldean monarchy was widely extended and consisted of many nations; and there was no part of it which was not most hostile to the Jews. As, then, the miserable exiles saw that not only the Chaldeans were inimical to them, but also other nations, so that they were hated almost by the whole world, God here comes to their aid, and declares that he had power enough to destroy all their enemies. A useful doctrine may be hence deduced: The Church was in such a manner perpetual, that its condition was yet variable; for it often seemed good to God to break off the course of his favor before the coming of Christ. What then happened we may accommodate to our own time. As, then, the Prophet says here, that the children of the Church would be as at the beginning, we need not wonder when the Church happens at any time to be scattered, as indeed the case was under the Papacy. For the Church was not only dead, but also buried, and was not only as a putrid carcase, but like the dust it had wholly vanished; for what remnants could have been found fifty years ago? We hence see that what happened under the Law has also taken place under the kingdom of Christ; for the Church has sometimes been overwhelmed with troubles, and has been hid without any glory or beauty. But, in the meantime, we embrace this promise, that the children of the godly shall be as formerly; for as the kingdom of Christ in former times flourished, so we ought to feel assured that there is sufficient power in God to restore to the Church its glory, so that Christ’s kingdom may again rise up, and all God’s blessings shine forth in it. But as many enemies surround the Church on everyside, and the Devil ever excites everywhere commotions and disturbances, let us know that there is another clause added, even that God will be the defender of his people; so that how much soever the whole world may attempt to tread under foot his favor, he will yet not suffer them to accomplish their fury; for he has the power not only to restrain their assaults, but also wholly to destroy them and to obliterate their memory; for this is what is implied in the word visiting. It then follows — (16) It would be better to observe the order of the original, “And his assembling before me shall be confirmed,” or according, to the Vulg. and Syr., “shall continue.” The reference is to the assembling at the stated festivals. The verb means to be confirmed, to be fixed, to be made certain; so that “continue” conveys the right idea: the assembling was to be made fixed, so as to become permanent; and it is said to be before God, in order to distinguish it from any other kind of assembling· — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="

선지자가 쓰는 말씀의 풍성함은 결코 쓸모없지 않다. 70년 동안 하나님의 은혜의 어떤 표시도 나타나지 않을 때 그들의 유혹들이 얼마나 힘든 것인지를 항상 기억해야 하기 때문이다. 따라서 악들로 압도된 마음들을 많은 지지로 유지하는 것이 필요하였다. 그래서 그들이 완전히 기진하지 않도록. 그는 약속들에 약속들을 더한다. 유다 사람들이 말하자면 깊은 심연에서 빛의 불꽃을 볼 수 있도록.

그는 이제 그들의 자녀들이 태초부터인 것처럼 될 것이라고 말한다. 나는 여기서 참고 문헌이 다윗의 왕국에 관한 것이라는 것을 의심하지 않는다. 마치 선지자가 교회의 상태가 이전에 다윗 아래에 있었던 것처럼 그리스도 아래에서도 번영하고 행복할 것이라고 말하는 것 같다.

그는 나중에 더한다. 그의 씨가 내 앞에서 세워지리라, 그리고 내가 그의 모든 억압자들을 방문하리라. 하나님은 여기서 다시 그분의 교회의 영속성에 관한 약속을 확인하신다. 따라서 그는 백성의 집회가 그분 앞에서 세워질 것이라고 말한다. 이 말씀들로 그는 유다 사람들에게 위를 바라보라고 명하신다. 세상에서는 절망 외에 아무것도 발견될 수 없었기 때문이다.

The Prophet, no doubt, explains here more at large what he had said of the restoration of the Church; for we know that the Jews had been so taught, that they were to place their whole confidence as to their salvation on David, that is, on the king whom God had set over them. Then the happiness and safety of the Church was always founded on the king; he being taken away, it was all over with the Church, as the Anointed is said to be the Lord, in whose spirit is our spirit. ( Lamentations 4:20 ) Hence God has even from the beginning directed the attention of his people to their king, that they might depend on him, not that David was able by his own power to save the people, but because he typically personated Christ. We have not now an earthly king who is Christ’s image; but it is Christ alone who vivifies the Church. But it was at that time set forth figuratively, that the king was, as it were, the soul of the community; and we have before seen, that when the Prophet animated the Jews with hope, he set before them David, and afterwards the Son of David. For the same reason, he says here, His valiant one, or, illustrious one, shall be from himself For we must remember the condition of that miserable and calamitous time when God took away every source of joy, by depriving the people of all the dignity with which they had been honored. It was the same then as though Jeremiah had promised the Jews a resurrection, for they were in their exile as dead men, as their hope of public safety had vanished when their king was destroyed. Here, then, he bids them to entertain good hope, because the Lord was able to raise them from death to life. And doubtless it was a wonderful resurrection when the Jews returned to their own country, a way having been opened for them; for they had been driven away, as it were, into another world. And who could have ever thought that so many obstacles could have been removed, when the Chaldeans extended their dominion even over Judea? The miserable exiles had certainly no refuge. It was not then to no purpose that Jeremiah testifies here, that the strong or valiant, that is, the king, would be from the people, and that there would come forth a Ruler from the midst of them. To come or go forth does not mean here to depart, as though the king would go elsewhere; but to go forth signifies here to proceed: Go forth then, or proceed, shall a Ruler from the midst of the people: how this took place it is well known. But Isaiah had foretold what his successor here confirms, saying, “Come forth shall a shoot from the root (or stem) of Jesse, and a rod shall spring up from the root of his tree.” ( Isaiah 11:1 ) He calls it there the house of Jesse, which was a private house: he would have dignified the favor with a more glorious name, had he mentioned David; but as there was then no kingdom, he refers to Jesse; for as David came forth as an unknown rustic from the folds of the sheep, so also the Lord would raise up a shoot from the stem of a tree that had been cut down. We hence see in what sense Jeremiah uses the expression, “Come forth;” for Christ rose up beyond the expectation of men, and rose up as a shoot when a tree is cut down, that is, when there was no resemblance of majesty among the people. He afterwards adds, I will cause him to draw near, and he will come to me This may be either confined to the head or extended to the whole body; and the second idea is what I mostly approve; for the people were a long time removed from the presence of God, even as long as they were exiled from their country. Hence God adds, “I will cause them again to draw nigh, and they shall come to me.” If, however, any one prefers to explain this of the head, or of the king himself, I offer no objection. Now, we are taught from this passage, that whenever God speaks of the restoration of the Church, he ever declares that he will be entreated by us; in short, that whenever he invites us to the hope of favor and salvation, we ought always to look to Christ; for except we direct all our thoughts to him, all the promises will vanish away, for they cannot be valid except through him; because in Christ only, as Paul says, they are yea and amen. ( 2 Corinthians 1:19 ) But as this truth often occurs in the Prophets, it is enough here to touch on it by the way, as I have handled it more fully elsewhere. As to the latter part of the verse, there is some ambiguity, — for who is he, this, etc There are two demonstrative pronouns, הוא זה hua, ze. Afterwards comes ערב oreb, fitting his heart. The verb ערב oreb, means to be a surety, and also to fit, to adapt, to accommodate, or to form, and sometimes to render sweet or pleasant; and on this account some have thus translated, “Who will allure his heart?” He then adds, that he may come to me, saith Jehovah? I have said that this passage is obscure, and it has hence been turned into various meanings by interpreters. Some apply the words to Christ, that he alone has of his own accord come to the Father. Others consider a negative to be understood, as though it was said, that no one prepares his heart to come to God. But there are some who regard the passage as an exhortation, “Who is he who will apply his heart that he may come to me?” Now, if we read it as expressing astonishment or wonder, it would be, in my view, its real meaning. I am not aware that any one has mentioned this; but the Prophet, I have no doubt, intended his words to be so understood. He said before, “I will cause him to draw nigh; that he may come to me.” I have already explained this of the people, who had been long rejected. God then promises here a gathering, as though he had said, “For a time I scattered the people here and there like chaff; I will now gather them again together, and they shall be under my care and protection as formerly.” Having said this, he now touches on the ingratitude of the people by this question, “Who is there who comes to me? who will frame his heart that he may

선지자는 의심할 여지없이 여기서 그가 교회의 회복에 대해 말한 것을 더 충분하게 설명한다. 우리는 유다 사람들이 그들의 왕, 즉 하나님이 그들 위에 세우신 왕에게 구원에 관한 모든 자신들의 신뢰를 두도록 가르침받았다는 것을 안다.

그가 더한다. 그의 용감한 자가 자신에게서 나오리라. 우리는 그 비참하고 재난적인 때의 조건을 기억해야 한다. 하나님이 그들을 존귀하게 하셨던 모든 위엄을 박탈함으로써 백성에게서 모든 기쁨의 근원을 빼앗으실 때. 그것은 유다 사람들에게 부활을 약속하는 것과 같았다. 그들이 포로 생활에서 마치 죽은 자들과 같았기 때문이다.

나는 그를 가까이 오게 하겠다, 그리고 그가 나에게 오리라. 이것은 머리나 전체 몸에 국한될 수 있다. 두 번째 생각이 내가 가장 승인하는 것이다. 백성이 오랫동안 하나님의 임재에서 제거되어 있었기 때문이다. 따라서 하나님이 더한다. "내가 그들을 다시 가까이 오게 하겠다, 그리고 그들이 내게 오리라."

이 구절에서 하나님이 그분의 교회의 회복에 대해 말씀하실 때마다 우리에게 간구받기를 선언하신다는 것을 배운다. 간단히 말하면 그분이 우리를 은혜와 구원의 소망으로 초대하실 때마다, 우리는 항상 그리스도를 바라보아야 한다. 그분 없이는 모든 약속들이 사라질 것이기 때문이다. 약속들은 그분을 통해서만 유효할 수 있기 때문이다.

As this verse and what occurs in the first verse of the next chapter are materially the same, they shall be both explained here. God then says that the Jews would become a people to him, and that he would become a God to them. This mode of speaking is what we meet with everywhere in the Prophets; and it is very expressive, and includes the whole of true happiness. For when have we life, except when we become the people of God? We ought also to bear in mind that saying of the Psalmist, “Blessed are the people whose God is Jehovah.” ( Psalms 144:15 ) It confirms what I have just said, that a happy life is complete in all its parts, when God promises to be a God to us and takes us as his people. The Prophets, therefore, do not without reason so often inculcate this truth; for though nothing else might be wanting to us that could be expected, yet until we feel assured that God is a Father to us, and that we are his people, whatever happiness we may have, it will only end in misery. But the Prophet expresses himself more fully, when he says, At that time, that is, when God restored his Church, will I be a God to all the families of Israel They had been so scattered, that they were not one body; but God promises the gathering of that Church, from which the ten tribes had fallen off, when they revolted from the family of David.

이 절과 다음 장 첫 절에 나타나는 것이 본질적으로 같으므로 여기서 둘 다 설명하겠다. 하나님이 유다 사람들이 그분에게 백성이 되고 그분이 그들에게 하나님이 되실 것이라고 말씀하신다. 이 말하는 방식은 우리가 예언서들에서 어디서나 만나는 것이다. 그리고 그것은 매우 표현적이며 참된 행복 전체를 포함한다. 우리가 하나님의 백성이 되지 않으면 언제 생명을 가지겠는가?

또한 시편 기자의 이 말씀을 염두에 두어야 한다. "여호와가 하나님이신 백성들은 복이 있다." 하나님이 우리에게 아버지가 되시고 우리가 그분의 백성이라는 확신이 있을 때까지 우리가 어떤 행복을 가지더라도 그것은 비참함으로 끝날 것이라는 것이다.

그러나 선지자는 더 충분하게 표현한다. 그 때, 즉 하나님이 그분의 교회를 회복하실 때, 나는 이스라엘의 모든 가족들에게 하나님이 되겠다고 말할 때. 그들이 너무 흩어져 한 몸이 되지 못하였지만, 하나님은 그 교회의 수집을 약속하신다. 열 지파가 다윗의 가족에서 반역하였을 때 그 교회에서 떨어져 나갔던.

The Prophet seems to speak abruptly; for nothing could be more delightful than the promise that God gives, that he would be a Father to the people; but he immediately adds, that there would arise an involving whirlwind, which would abide on the head of the wicked. These things, at the first view, seem not to harmonize. But the latter sentence may be applied to the heathens, or to any of the enemies of the Church; for whenever God appears as the Savior of his people, his vengeance goes forth, and is poured on the wicked. Hence such declarations as the following often occur, “The day of my vengeance is nigh, and the year of my visitation.” ( Isaiah 63:4 ) Isaiah joins both, the favor of God and his vengeance: and this is often done by the other Prophets, in order that we may see that God’s mercy cannot be clearly and distinctly perceived towards the faithful, except when his judgment on the other hand be made conspicuous as to the wicked. So this passage may be explained. But we may well thus connect the words of the Prophet, — that he kindly endeavored to allure the people by offering them God’s favor; but that having seen that it would be despised, as we stated yesterday, by the greater part of them, he now seasonably threatens them, that if they refused the favor offered them, such ingratitude could not be borne by God. And this is a mode of teaching common in Scripture. For God on his part thus manifests his kindness so as to stimulate men; but as he sees them not only slothful and tardy, but also wicked and ungrateful, he declares that they shall not be unpunished if they despise his favor. The former truth then well agrees with what the Prophet now says, — that the wrath of God would arise like a tempestuous storm. He afterwards adds, a whirling or involving tempest, properly, a tempest gathering itself. The verb is גור gur, in a reduplicate form and in Hithpael. A similar sentence is found in Jeremiah 23:19 ; but there the Prophet used another word as required by the subject. (19) Some render it “falling,” for גור , gur , means to fall; and this meaning is suitable, “a falling storm,” that is, impetuously descending, so as to abide on the head of the wicked. But the former sense has been more generally taken, and I am disposed to embrace it; for it tends to shake men with terror, when the storm is said to be like a whirlwind, for it turns and twists around, so that it cannot be avoided. The meaning then is, that God’s vengeance would be fatal to all the wicked. But we may take the wicked, רשעים reshoim, for the despisers of God, though boasting of his name, as well as for aliens: but I am inclined to include both, even domestic and foreign enemies of God; as though the Prophet had said, that no remedy remained, except they fled to the mercy of God. It afterwards follows, — (19) This verse is literally the same, word for word, with the passage referred to here, with the exception of the word that is noticed; and yet neither the early versions nor the Targum are the same: it is singular how they differ from themselves, so that we can have no confidence in their verbal accuracy. Instead of “the pregnant tempest” in Jeremiah 23:19 , we have here “the violent tempest;” it is a participle from a verb which means to agitate, to excite, to stir up; and being passive, it means what is agitated or in great commotion, and hence violent or turbulent. Many copies have ו here before סער , as in the former passage, where it is omitted only in one copy. — Ed. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-24" class="com-number"

선지자는 갑작스럽게 말하는 것처럼 보인다. 하나님이 그분의 백성에게 자신들의 아버지가 되시겠다는 약속보다 더 기쁜 것이 없기 때문이다. 그러나 그는 즉시 악인들의 머리 위에 머물 회오리바람이 일어날 것이라고 더한다. 처음 볼 때 이것들이 조화를 이루지 않는 것처럼 보인다. 그러나 후자의 문장은 이방인들에게, 또는 교회의 원수들 중 어느 누구에게도 적용될 수 있다. 하나님이 그분의 백성의 구원자로 나타나실 때마다 그분의 보복이 나가서 악인들 위에 쏟아지기 때문이다.

그는 또한 이 두 가지를 잘 연결하여 말한다. 그가 은혜를 제시함으로써 친절하게 백성을 끌어들이려 하였다. 그러나 대부분의 사람들이 그것을 멸시할 것을 보셨으므로, 이제 그들에게 위협한다. 그들이 제시된 은혜를 거부한다면 그런 배은망덕을 하나님이 용납하지 않으실 것이기 때문이다. 이것이 성경에서 공통된 가르침의 방식이다.

그런 다음 그는 더한다. 회오리바람 혹은 포함하는 폭풍. 여호와의 진노의 폭풍이 있다는 것이다.

He confirms the last sentence, and compares the wrath or the vengeance of God to a messenger or a minister, who is sent to carry a message, or to perform what has been commanded him. Of God’s word, that is, of his threatenings as well as of his promises, Isaiah speaks thus, “My word shall not return to me void.” ( Isaiah 55:11 ) The meaning is, that whatever God promises or threatens, is never without its effect. But they wrongly understand the passage who say that the word of God returns not void, because it brings forth fruit; for he speaks of the effect of the word, whether for salvation or for perdition. So now also God declares that his vengeance, when gone forth, shall not return until it fulfils what has been commanded. He then adds, and until he shall have confirmed, etc.; for so the verb הקימו ekimu, properly means: until God then shall have confirmed or established the thoughts of his heart The thoughts of his heart he calls the decrees or purposes of God; but it is a mode of speaking taken from men, and therefore metaphorical; for it is not consistent with what God is, either to think or to deliberate. But, as to the subject itself, there is nothing ambiguous; for the Prophet means, that when God sends forth his vengeance, all the wicked must perish, for so has God decreed, and his purposes can never be frustrated. Then he shews that God’s vengeance will be accomplished, because God has so determined. For God does not dissemble when he promises salvation to men, or denounces on them the punishment which they have deserved; but he executes the decrees or purposes of his heart. (20) Then the Prophet here condemns the stupidity of all those who thought that they could escape, though they had often heard that their guilt was so great that they must at last be visited with judgment. Though they had often heard this, yet they were deaf to all warnings; and it was for this reason that the Prophet spoke of the thoughts of God’s heart. At last he adds, At the extremity of days ye shall understand this This may be applied to the faithful no less than to the wicked. For though the faithful embraced God’s promises, and relied on them, yet, as they had to contend constantly with the heaviest trials, it was necessary to stimulate and animate them to patience. It might then be suitably said to them, “Ye shall understand this in the last days;” it being a kind of exhortation, as though he had said, “Ye indeed think the wicked happy, because God does not immediately punish them, because his vengeance does not instantly break forth in thunders against them; but patiently bear your miseries, and ye shall at length find that their destruction has not been in vain predicted; and ye shall also receive a reward for your faith and patience, if ye continue resigned to the last.” But the sentence may also be suitably applied to the wicked, because they were wont to form their judgment according to the present aspect of things. Hence the Prophet exposes the false opinion by which they deceived themselves, and says, that too late they would understand what they were then unwilling to perceive. If then we explain this sentence of the children of God, it is an exhortation to bear patiently their evils until God appeared as their defender: but if we apply it to the unbelieving, it is a derision of their insensibility, because they regarded as fables all threatenings; but the Prophet exclaims, “Ye shall at last become wise, but it will be too late.” Even experience becomes a teacher when there is no more opportunity to repent. (20) The verse is literally as follows, — Turn not away shall the burning of Jehovah’s wrath, Until his execution and until his completion Of the purposes of his heart: In the latter days ye shall understand it. A verb in the infinitive mood in Hebrew is used often as a noun, “his execution.” A similar form exists in Welsh, (lang. cy) nes gwneuthur ohono “Until he hath confirmed,” or “performed,” according to our version, is better rendered in the Vulg., “until he hath completed.” Here is the execution and the completion. — Ed . return to ' Top of Page ' Jeremiah Jer 29 Jeremiah Jer Jeremiah Jer 31 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.

그는 마지막 문장을 확인하며, 하나님의 진노를 하나님이 보내신 사신이나 청지기에 비교한다. 하나님의 말씀, 즉 그분의 위협들에 대해서뿐 아니라 그분의 약속들에 대해서도 이사야는 이렇게 말한다. "내 말은 헛되이 내게 돌아오지 않을 것이다." 의미는 하나님이 약속하거나 위협하는 것은 결코 효과 없이 있지 않다는 것이다.

그는 더한다. 그리고 그가 그분의 마음의 생각들을 세우기까지. 그분의 마음의 생각들이라는 것은 하나님의 작정들 또는 목적들을 의미한다. 그러나 그것은 사람들에게서 취한 말하는 방식이며 따라서 은유적이다. 하나님에 대해 생각하거나 숙고한다는 것이 일치하지 않기 때문이다. 그러나 주제 자체에 관해서는 모호한 것이 없다. 선지자가 하나님이 그분의 보복을 보내실 때 모든 악인들은 반드시 멸망한다는 것을 의미하기 때문이다. 하나님이 그렇게 결정하셨고 그분의 목적들은 결코 좌절될 수 없기 때문이다.

마지막으로 그는 더한다. 날들의 끝에 너희가 이것을 이해할 것이다. 이것은 신실한 자들에게뿐 아니라 악인들에게도 적용될 수 있다.

신실한 자들에게 말하자면 이것은 권면이다. 마치 그가 말하는 것 같다. "너희는 하나님이 그들을 즉시 처벌하지 않으시기 때문에 악인들이 행복하다고 생각한다. 그러나 너희 고통을 인내로 감내하라, 그러면 너희는 마침내 그들의 파멸이 헛되이 예언된 것이 아님을 발견할 것이다. 너희 또한 마지막까지 체념으로 지속한다면 믿음과 인내에 대한 보상을 받을 것이다."

그러나 그 문장은 또한 불신자들에게도 적절히 적용될 수 있다. 그들이 현재 사물의 모습에 따라 판단을 내리기 때문이다. 따라서 선지자는 그들이 스스로를 속이는 잘못된 견해를 드러내고, 그들이 이제 깨달으려 하지 않는 것을 너무 늦게 이해하게 될 것이라고 말한다. 경험이 회개할 기회가 더 이상 없을 때 선생이 된다.
