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] |
hurt--the spiritual wound.
slightly--as if it were but a slight wound; or, in a slight manner, pronouncing all sound where there is no soundness.
saying--namely, the prophets and priests (Jer 6:13). Whereas they ought to warn the people of impending judgments and the need of repentance, they say there is nothing to fear.
peace--including soundness. All is sound in the nation's moral state, so all will be peace as to its political state (Jer 4:10; Jer 8:11; Jer 14:13; Jer 23:17; Eze 13:5, Eze 13:10; Eze 22:28). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Healed - Rather, "tried to heal."
Of the daughter - These words are omitted by a majority of manuscripts, but found in most of the versions.
Slightly - literally, "according to," i. e., as if it were, a "trifle: making nothing" of it. This cry of "peace" was doubtless based upon Josiah's reforms. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| They have - This refers peculiarly to the prophets; making light of these threatenings, daubing over the misery and danger that was coming on the people, by persuading them, that it should not come, or if it did, it would be easily cured. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly - Of the daughter is not in the text, and is here improperly added: it is, however, in some MSS.
Peace, peace - Ye shall have prosperity - when there was none, and when God had determined that there should be none. Here the prophets prophesied falsely; and the people continued in sin, being deceived by the priests and the prophets. |
28 And her prophets [05030] have daubed [02902] them with untempered [08602] morter, seeing [02374] vanity [07723], and divining [07080] lies [03577] unto them, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], when the LORD [03068] hath not spoken [01696].
10 Because, even because they have seduced [02937] my people [05971], saying [0559], Peace [07965]; and there was no peace [07965]; and one built up [01129] a wall [02434], and, lo [02009], others daubed [02902] it with untempered [08602] morter:
5 Ye have not gone up [05927] into the gaps [06556], neither made up [01443] the hedge [01447] for the house [01004] of Israel [03478] to stand [05975] in the battle [04421] in the day [03117] of the LORD [03068].
17 They say [0559] still [0559] unto them that despise [05006] me, The LORD [03068] hath said [01696], Ye shall have peace [07965]; and they say [0559] unto every one that walketh [01980] after the imagination [08307] of his own heart [03820], No evil [07451] shall come [0935] upon you.
13 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! behold, the prophets [05030] say [0559] unto them, Ye shall not see [07200] the sword [02719], neither shall ye have famine [07458]; but I will give [05414] you assured [0571] peace [07965] in this place [04725].
11 For they have healed [07495] the hurt [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] slightly [07043], saying [0559], Peace [07965], peace [07965]; when there is no peace [07965].
10 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! surely [0403] thou hast greatly [05377] deceived [05377] this people [05971] and Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Ye shall have peace [07965]; whereas the sword [02719] reacheth [05060] unto the soul [05315].
13 For from the least [06996] of them even unto the greatest [01419] of them every one is given [01214] to covetousness [01215]; and from the prophet [05030] even unto the priest [03548] every one dealeth [06213] falsely [08267].
