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] |
let not . . . buyer rejoice--because he has bought an estate at a bargain price.
nor . . . seller mourn--because he has had to sell his land at a sacrifice through poverty. The Chaldeans will be masters of the land, so that neither shall the buyer have any good of his purchase, nor the seller any loss; nor shall the latter (Eze 7:13) return to his inheritance at the jubilee year (see Lev 25:13). Spiritually this holds good now, seeing that "the time is short"; "they that rejoice should be as though they rejoiced not, and they that buy as though they possessed not": Paul (Co1 7:30) seems to allude to Ezekiel here. Jer 32:15, Jer 32:37, Jer 32:43, seems to contradict Ezekiel here. But Ezekiel is speaking of the parents, and of the present; Jeremiah, of the children, and of the future. Jeremiah is addressing believers, that they should hope for a restoration; Ezekiel, the reprobate, who were excluded from hope of deliverance. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The day - Either of temporal or final judgment.
It was grievous for an Israelite to part with his land. But now the seller need not mourn his loss, nor the buyer exult in him gain. All should live the pitiful lives of strangers in another country. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Mourn - Men usually part with their estates grieving that they must transmit their right to others; but let them now think how little a while they could have kept them, and how little time they shall keep them who have bought them. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn - Such is now the state of public affairs, that he who through want has been obliged to sell his inheritance, need not mourn on the account; as of this the enemy would soon have deprived him. And he who has bought it need not rejoice in his bargain, as he shall soon be stripped of his purchase, and either fall by the sword, or be glad to flee for his life. |
43 And fields [07704] shall be bought [07069] in this land [0776], whereof ye say [0559], It is desolate [08077] without man [0120] or beast [0929]; it is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778].

15 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Houses [01004] and fields [07704] and vineyards [03754] shall be possessed again [07069] in this land [0776].
30 And [2532] they that weep [2799], as [5613] though they wept [2799] not [3361]; and [2532] they that rejoice [5463], as [5613] though they rejoiced [5463] not [3361]; and [2532] they that buy [59], as [5613] though they possessed [2722] not [3361];
