Jeremiah 23:10
_ _ adulterers — spiritual, that is, forsakers of God, Israel’s true Husband (Isaiah 54:5) for idols, at the instigation of the false “prophets” (Jeremiah 23:9, Jeremiah 23:15). Literal adultery and fornication, the usual concomitants of idolatry, are also meant.
_ _ swearing — Maurer, etc., translate, “Because of the curse (of God on it), the land mourneth” (Deuteronomy 27:15-26; Deuteronomy 28:15-68; Isaiah 24:6). More than usual notoriety had been given to the curses of the law, by the finding and reading of it in Josiah’s time (2 Kings 22:11, etc.). But Hosea 4:2, Hosea 4:3, favors English Version (compare Jeremiah 12:4). A drought was sent by God on the pastures (“pleasant places,” oases) in the desert, on account of the “profaneness” of the priests, prophets, and people (Jeremiah 23:11).
_ _ course ... evil — They (both prophets and people) rush into wickedness (Jeremiah 23:21; Isaiah 59:7).
_ _ force ... not right — Their powers are used not on the side of rectitude, but on that of falsehood. |
Jeremiah 23:10
Adulterers — Under this term all species of uncleanness are comprehended. Swearing — By false — swearing, or by idle and profane swearing. The pleasant places — The wrath of God was extended to all places whether more or less inhabited. Their courses — The prophets did not only err in single acts, but the whole course of their actions was evil, and particularly their power, rule and government, was not right. |
Jeremiah 23:10
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their (h) course is evil, and their force [is] not right.
(h) They run headlong to wickedness and seek vain help. |
