Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 22:28

_ _ broken idol — Coniah was idolized once by the Jews; Jeremiah, therefore, in their person, expresses their astonishment at one from whom so much had been expected being now so utterly cast aside.

_ _ vessel ... no pleasure — (Psalms 31:12; Hosea 8:8). The answer to this is given (Romans 9:20-23; contrast 2 Timothy 2:21).

_ _ his seed — (See on Jeremiah 22:29).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 22:20-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 22:28

Is this — The prophet speaks this in the person of God, affirming that this prince, who was the idol of the people, was now become like a broken idol. A vessel — So cracked, or so tainted, that they can make no use of it.

2 Timothy 2:20-21 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. ...
