Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
mourneth unto me--that is, before Me. EICHORN translates, "by reason of Me," because I have given it to desolation (Jer 12:7).
because no man layeth it to heart--because none by repentance and prayer seek to deprecate God's wrath. Or, "yet none lays it to heart"; as in Jer 5:3 [CALVIN]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Desolate - The force of the protest lies in this word. Thrice the prophet uses it.
Layeth it to heart - Rather, laid it "to heart." The desolate land must put up its silent cry to God, because the people had refused to see the signs of the coming retribution. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| They - Heb. He hath made it desolate: but it cannot be meant of God, for it is God that speaketh, and God is he mentioned in the next words; it must therefore either be understood of Nebuchadnezzar, the instrumental cause; or (one number being put for another) of the people or the rulers as the meritorious cause, and in that rueful state into which their sins had brought it, it cried onto God. Because - And one great cause of this sore judgment was, the peoples not seriously considering what God had done or was doing against it. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| No man layeth it to heart - Notwithstanding all these desolations, from which the land every where mourns, and which are so plainly the consequences of the people's crimes, no man layeth it to heart, or considereth that these are God's judgments; and that the only way to have them removed is to repent of their sins, and turn to God with all their hearts. |
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].
7 I have forsaken [05800] mine house [01004], I have left [05203] mine heritage [05159]; I have given [05414] the dearly beloved [03033] of my soul [05315] into the hand [03709] of her enemies [0341].
