Jeremiah 11:19
_ _ lamb — literally, a “pet lamb,” such as the Jews often had in their houses, for their children to play with; and the Arabs still have (2 Samuel 12:3). His own familiar friends had plotted against the prophet. The language is exactly the same as that applied to Messiah (Isaiah 53:7). Each prophet and patriarch exemplified in his own person some one feature or more in the manifold attributes and sufferings of the Messiah to come; just as the saints have done since His coming (Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:10; Colossians 1:24). This adapted both the more experimentally to testify of Christ.
_ _ devices — (Jeremiah 18:18).
_ _ tree with ... fruit — literally, “in its fruit” or “food,” that is, when it is in fruit. Proverbial, to express the destruction of cause and effect together. The man is the tree; his teaching, the fruit. Let us destroy the prophet and his prophecies; namely, those threatening destruction to the nation, which offended them. Compare Matthew 7:17, which also refers to prophets and their doctrines. |
Jeremiah 11:19
Let us destroy — We have no other mention of this conspiracy, but it is plain both from this verse, and what follows, that the men of Anathoth (which was Jeremiah's own town) were offended at his prophesying, and had conspired to kill him. Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof — Let us not only put an end to his prophesying, but to his life. |
Jeremiah 11:19
But I [was] like a lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised plots against me, [saying], Let us (o) destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
(o) Let us destroy the prophet and his doctrine. Some read "Let us corrupt his meat with wood", meaning poison. |
