Jeremiah 22:6
_ _ Though thou art as beautiful as Gilead, and as majestic in Mine eyes (before Me) as the summit of Lebanon, yet surely (the Hebrew is a formula of swearing to express certainly: “If I do not make thee ... believe Me not ever hereafter”: so “as truly as I live,” Numbers 14:28; “surely,” Numbers 14:35). The mention of Gilead may allude not only to its past beauty, but covertly also to its desolation by the judgment on Israel; a warning now to Judah and the house of David. “Lebanon” is appropriately mentioned, as the king’s house was built of its noble cedars.
_ _ cities — not other cities, but the different parts of the city of Jerusalem (2 Samuel 12:27; 2 Kings 10:25) [Maurer]. |
Jeremiah 22:6
Gilead — Gilead was a country fertile for pastures; upon which account the Reubenites and Gadites, being men whose estate lay in cattle, begged it of Moses for their portion. Lebanon also was a very pleasant place: they were both in the lot of Gad and Manasseh. Perhaps God compares the king of Judah's house to these places, in regard of the height and nobleness of the structure, or for the pleasantness and delightfulness of it. |
Jeremiah 22:6
For thus saith the LORD to the king's house of Judah; Thou [art] (c) Gilead to me, [and] the head of Lebanon: [yet] surely I will make thee a wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not inhabited.
(c) He compares Jerusalem to Gilead which was beyond Jordan and the beauty of Judea to Lebanon. |

Song of Songs 5:15 His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

- Thou:
- Gilead was the most fertile part of the country, and renowned for its rich pastures; and Lebanon was the highest mountain in Israel, celebrated for its stately cedars; and both were, therefore, proper emblems of the reigning family. "But though thou art the richest and most powerful, I, who raised thee up, can bring thee down, and make thee a wilderness."

For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
