Jeremiah 25:34
_ _ shepherds — princes (Jeremiah 22:22). Here he returns to the Jews and their rulers, using the same image as in Jeremiah 25:30, “pasture” (see on Jeremiah 25:30).
_ _ wallow yourselves — Cover yourselves as thickly with ashes, in token of sorrow, as one who rolls in them (Jeremiah 6:26; Ezekiel 27:30) [Maurer].
_ _ principal — leaders. The Septuagint translates “rams,” carrying out the image (compare Isaiah 14:9, Margin; Zechariah 10:3).
_ _ days of your slaughter ... of ... dispersions — rather, “your days for slaughter (that is, the time of your being slain), and your dispersions (not ‘of your dispersions’), are accomplished (are come).”
_ _ pleasant vessel — Ye were once a precious vessel, but ye shall fall, and so be a broken vessel (see on Jeremiah 22:28). “Your past excellency shall not render you safe now. I will turn to your ignominy whatever glory I conferred on you” [Calvin]. |
