Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I sink in deep mire - Margin, as in Hebrew, "the mire of the depth." This would denote either mire which was itself so deep that one could not extricate himself from it; or, mire found in a deep place, as at the bottom of a pit. Compare the notes at Psa 40:2. An illustration of this might be drawn from the case of Joseph, cast by his brethren into a deep pit Gen 37:24; or from the case of Jeremiah, thrown into a deep dungeon: "And they let down Jeremiah with cords; and in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire," Jer 38:6.
Where there is no standing - No solid ground; nothing for the foot to rest on. "I am come into deep waters." Margin, as in Hebrew, "depth of waters." That is, waters where he could not touch the bottom - an image of some peril that threatened his life.
Where the floods overflow me - The waters. They break over my head. My life is "in danger." |
6 Then took [03947] they Jeremiah [03414], and cast [07993] him into the dungeon [0953] of Malchiah [04441] the son [01121] of Hammelech [04428], that was in the court [02691] of the prison [04307]: and they let down [07971] Jeremiah [03414] with cords [02256]. And in the dungeon [0953] there was no water [04325], but mire [02916]: so Jeremiah [03414] sunk [02883] in the mire [02916].
24 And they took [03947] him, and cast [07993] him into a pit [0953]: and the pit [0953] was empty [07386], there was no water [04325] in it.
2 He brought me up [05927] also out of an horrible [07588] pit [0953], out of the miry [03121] clay [02916], and set [06965] my feet [07272] upon a rock [05553], and established [03559] my goings [0838].
