Jeremiah 18:6
_ _ Refuting the Jews’ reliance on their external privileges as God’s elect people, as if God could never cast them off. But if the potter, a mere creature, has power to throw away a marred vessel and raise up other clay from the ground, a fortiori God, the Creator, can cast away the people who prove unfaithful to His election and can raise others in their stead (compare Isaiah 45:9; Isaiah 64:8; Romans 9:20, Romans 9:21). It is curious that the potter’s field should have been the purchase made with the price of Judas’ treachery (Matthew 27:9, Matthew 27:10 : a potter’s vessel dashed to pieces, compare Psalms 2:8, Psalms 2:9; Revelation 2:27), because of its failing to answer the maker’s design, being the very image to depict God’s sovereign power to give reprobates to destruction, not by caprice, but in the exercise of His righteous judgment. Matthew quotes Zechariah’s words (Zechariah 11:12, Zechariah 11:13) as Jeremiah’s because the latter (Jeremiah 18:1-19:15) was the source from which the former derived his summary in Zechariah 11:12, Zechariah 11:13 [Hengstenberg]. |
Jeremiah 18:6
Cannot I do — That God hath an absolute sovereign power to do what he pleases with the work of his hands: but he acts as a just judge, rendering to every man according to his works. |
Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make [ it].
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
Daniel 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [ be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
Matthew 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
