Scofield Reference Notes

[1] saying

The sign of the unmarried prophet is interpreted by the context. The whole social life of Judah was about to be disrupted and cease from the land. But note the promises of verses Jer 16:14-16 17:7,8.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

CHAPTER 16

Jer 16:1-21. Continuation of the Previous Prophecy.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:1-9 The prophet must conduct himself as one who expected to see his country ruined very shortly. In the prospect of sad times, he is to abstain from marriage, mourning for the dead, and pleasure. Those who would convince others of the truths of God, must make it appear by their self-denial, that they believe it themselves. Peace, inward and outward, family and public, is wholly the work of God, and from his loving-kindness and mercy. When He takes his peace from any people, distress must follow. There may be times when it is proper to avoid things otherwise our duty; and we should always sit loose to the pleasures and concerns of this life.


Jeremiah 15:21 "So I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, And I will redeem you from the grasp of the violent."
Jeremiah 16:2 "You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place." (NASB ©1995)

Word


The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,

1 The prophet, under the types of abstaining from marriage, from houses of mourning and feasting, foreshews the utter ruin of the Jews;
10 because they were worse than their fathers.
14 Their return from captivity shall be stranger than their deliverance out of Egypt.
16 God will doubly recompense their idolatry.

The word. 1:2,4 2:1
