Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 6:26

_ _ wallow ... in ashes — (Jeremiah 25:34; Micah 1:10). As they usually in mourning only “cast ashes on the head,” wallowing in them means something more, namely, so entirely to cover one’s self with ashes as to be like one who had rolled in them (Ezekiel 27:30).

_ _ as for an only son — (Amos 8:10; Zechariah 12:10).

_ _ lamentation — literally, “lamentation expressed by beating the breast.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 6:18-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 6:26

Gird thee — The prophet calls upon them to mourn in the deepest manner.
