unto them--that is, in reference to them.
a nation--The word usually applied to the Gentile nations is here applied to the Jews, as being east off and classed by God among the Gentiles.
nor receiveth correction-- (Jer 5:3).
truth . . . perished-- (Jer 9:3). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
A nation - The "nation." Israel holds so unique a position among all nations that for it to disobey God is marvelous.
Truth ... - Fidelity to God. Though they have the name of Yahweh often upon their lips and swear by Him Jer 5:2, yet it is only profession without practice. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Hence the prophet will be bound to say to them: This is the people that hath not hearkened to the voice of God. On this Chr. B. Mich. makes this remark: Etsi adhortationibus tuis non obedient, tamen, ut sciant quales sint et quae paenae ipsos maneant, dicas eis. Perished or gone is faithfulness, and cut off out of their mouth. They have violated the fidelity they owed to God, by not hearkening to His voice, by breaking all His commandments (cf. Jer 7:23 and Jer 7:9). "Out of their mouth" is used instead of "out of the heart," because they continually make profession with their mouth of their devotion to God, e.g., swear by Jahveh, but always lyingly, Jer 7:2. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Cut off - There is no believing them in any thing they say. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Nor receiveth correction - They have profited neither by mercies nor by judgments: blessings and corrections have been equally lost upon them. |
3 And they bend [01869] their tongues [03956] like their bow [07198] for lies [08267]: but they are not valiant [01396] for the truth [0530] upon the earth [0776]; for they proceed [03318] from evil [07451] to evil [07451], and they know [03045] not me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
3 O LORD [03068], are not thine eyes [05869] upon the truth [0530]? thou hast stricken [05221] them, but they have not grieved [02342]; thou hast consumed [03615] them, but they have refused [03985] to receive [03947] correction [04148]: they have made their faces [06440] harder [02388] than a rock [05553]; they have refused [03985] to return [07725].
2 And though they say [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416]; surely they swear [07650] falsely [08267].
2 Stand [05975] in the gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], and proclaim [07121] there this word [01697], and say [0559], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], all ye of Judah [03063], that enter in [0935] at these gates [08179] to worship [07812] the LORD [03068].
9 Will ye steal [01589], murder [07523], and commit adultery [05003], and swear [07650] falsely [08267], and burn incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], and walk [01980] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] whom ye know [03045] not;
23 But this thing [01697] commanded [06680] I them, saying [0559], Obey [08085] my voice [06963], and I will be your God [0430], and ye shall be my people [05971]: and walk [01980] ye in all the ways [01870] that I have commanded [06680] you, that it may be well [03190] unto you.
