make void the counsel--defeat their plans for repelling the enemy (Ch2 32:1-4; Isa 19:3; Isa 22:9, Isa 22:11). Or their schemes of getting help by having recourse to idols [CALVIN].
in this place--The valley of Hinnom was to be the place of the Chaldean encampment; the very place where they looked for help from idols was to be the scene of their own slaughter. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Make void - The verb used here is that from which "bottle" Jer 19:1 is derived, and as it represents the sound made by the water running out, it would be better translated, "pour out." Jeremiah perhaps carried the bottle to Tophet full of water, the symbol in the East of life Isa 35:6; Isa 41:18, and at these words emptied it before the assembled elders. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| In this place - In this place, among others, I will make void all the counsels that the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, have taken to escape my righteous judgments. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
I will make void the counsel of Judah - Probably this refers to some determination made to proclaim themselves independent, and pay no more tribute to the Chaldeans.
To be meat for the fowls - See on Jer 7:33 (note). |
11 Ye made [06213] also a ditch [04724] between the two walls [02346] for the water [04325] of the old [03465] pool [01295]: but ye have not looked [05027] unto the maker [06213] thereof, neither had respect [07200] unto him that fashioned [03335] it long ago [07350].
9 Ye have seen [07200] also the breaches [01233] of the city [05892] of David [01732], that they are many [07231]: and ye gathered together [06908] the waters [04325] of the lower [08481] pool [01295].
3 And the spirit [07307] of Egypt [04714] shall fail [01238] in the midst [07130] thereof; and I will destroy [01104] the counsel [06098] thereof: and they shall seek [01875] to the idols [0457], and to the charmers [0328], and to them that have familiar spirits [0178], and to the wizards [03049].
1 After [0310] these things [01697], and the establishment [0571] thereof, Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came [0935], and entered [0935] into Judah [03063], and encamped [02583] against the fenced [01219] cities [05892], and thought [0559] to win [01234] them for himself.

4 So there was gathered [06908] much [07227] people [05971] together [06908], who stopped [05640] all the fountains [04599], and the brook [05158] that ran [07857] through the midst [08432] of the land [0776], saying [0559], Why should the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] come [0935], and find [04672] much [07227] water [04325]?
18 I will open [06605] rivers [05104] in high places [08205], and fountains [04599] in the midst [08432] of the valleys [01237]: I will make [07760] the wilderness [04057] a pool [098] of water [04325], and the dry [06723] land [0776] springs [04161] of water [04325].
6 Then shall the lame [06455] man leap [01801] as an hart [0354], and the tongue [03956] of the dumb [0483] sing [07442]: for in the wilderness [04057] shall waters [04325] break out [01234], and streams [05158] in the desert [06160].

33 And the carcases [05038] of this people [05971] shall be meat [03978] for the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and for the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776]; and none shall fray them away [02729].
