Jeremiah 5:13

_ _ Continuation of the unbelieving language of the Jews.

_ _ the prophets — who prophesy punishment coming on us.

_ _ the word — the Holy Spirit, who speaks through true prophets, is not in them [Maurer]. Or else, “There is no word (divine communication) in them” (Hosea 1:2) [Rosenmuller].

_ _ thus, etc. — Their ill-omened prophecies shall fall on themselves.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 5:10-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 5:13

Became wind — A proverbial expression, all the prophet's threats shall come to nothing. The word — The prophet's words are not from God. Thus — It shall fall upon their own heads that have thus threatened us.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 5:13

And the prophets shall become (l) wind, and the word [is] (m) not in them: thus shall it be done to them.

(l) Their words will be of no effect, but vain.

(m) They are not sent from the Lord, and therefore that which they threaten to us will come on them.
