Jeremiah 18:21
_ _ pour out their blood by the force of the sword — literally, “by the hands of the sword.” So Ezekiel 35:5. Maurer with Jerome translates, “deliver them over to the power of the sword.” But compare Psalms 63:10, Margin; Isaiah 53:12. In this prayer he does not indulge in personal revenge, as if it were his own cause that was at stake; but he speaks under the dictation of the Spirit, ceasing to intercede, and speaking prophetically, knowing they were doomed to destruction as reprobates; for those not so, he doubtless ceased not to intercede. We are not to draw an example from this, which is a special case.
_ _ put to death — or, as in Jeremiah 15:2, “perish by the death plague” [Maurer].
_ _ men ... young men — Horsley distinguishes the former as married men past middle age; the latter, the flower of unmarried youth. |
Jeremiah 18:21
Therefore — But is it lawful for God's servants to pray for evil against their enemies? It is not lawful for Christians. It is doubtless our duty, to pray for the conversion, forgiveness, and eternal salvation of our worst enemies. |
Jeremiah 18:21
Therefore (i) deliver their children to the famine, and pour out their [blood] by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and [be] widows; and let their men be put to death; [let] their young men [be] slain by the sword in battle.
(i) Seeing the obstinate malice of the adversaries, who grew daily more and more, the prophet being moved with God's Spirit, without any carnal affection prays for their destruction because he knew that it would be to God's glory, and profit of his Church. |
