Jeremiah 10:24-25
_ _ Since I (my nation) must be corrected (justice requiring it because of the deep guilt of the nation), I do not deprecate all chastisement, but pray only for moderation in it (Jeremiah 30:11; Psalms 6:1; Psalms 38:1); and that the full tide of Thy fury may be poured out on the heathen invaders for their cruelty towards Thy people. Psalms 79:6, Psalms 79:7, a psalm to be referred to the time of the captivity, its composer probably repeated this from Jeremiah. The imperative, “Pour out,” is used instead of the future, expressing vividly the certainty of the prediction, and that the word of God itself effects its own declarations. Accordingly, the Jews were restored after correction; the Babylonians were utterly extinguished.
_ _ know thee ... call ... on thy name — Knowledge of God is the beginning of piety; calling on Him the fruit.
_ _ heathen ... Jacob — He reminds God of the distinction He has made between His people whom Jacob represents, and the heathen aliens. Correct us as Thy adopted sons, the seed of Jacob; destroy them as outcasts (Zechariah 1:14, Zechariah 1:15, Zechariah 1:21). |
Jeremiah 10:24
Correct me — Seeing thou wilt punish us, let it be a correction only, not a destruction. Let it be in measure; in the midst of judgment remember mercy. Anger — Lest if thou shouldst let out thy fury upon me, thou wouldst utterly consume me. |
Jeremiah 10:24
O LORD, correct me, but with (q) judgment; not in thy anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
(q) Considering that God had revealed to him the certainty of their captivity (Jeremiah 7:16) he only prays that he would punish them with mercy which Isaiah calls in measure, (Isaiah 27:8) measuring his rods by their infirmity (1 Corinthians 10:13) for here by judgment is meant not only the punishment but also the merciful moderation of the same as in (Jeremiah 30:11). |
- correct:
Jeremiah 30:11 For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Psalms 6:1 [[To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.]] O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Psalms 38:1 [[A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.]] O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
