Jeremiah 6:29
_ _ bellows ... burned — So intense a heat is made that the very bellows are almost set on fire. Rosenmuller translates not so well from a Hebrew root, “pant” or “snort,” referring to the sound of the bellows blown hard.
_ _ lead — employed to separate the baser metal from the silver, as quicksilver is now used. In other words, the utmost pains have been used to purify Israel in the furnace of affliction, but in vain (Jeremiah 5:3; 1 Peter 1:7).
_ _ consumed of the fire — In the Chetib, or Hebrew text, the “consumed” is supplied out of the previous “burned.” Translating as Rosenmuller, “pant,” this will be inadmissible; and the Keri (Hebrew Margin) division of the Hebrew words will have to be read, to get “is consumed of the fire.” This is an argument for the translation, “are burned.”
_ _ founder — the refiner.
_ _ wicked ... not plucked away — answering to the dross which has no good metal to be separated, the mass being all dross. |
Jeremiah 6:29
The bellows — The prophet prosecutes his metaphor taken from refining of metals, intimating, that the prophets had spent their breath to no purpose, and their strength was consumed by their labour. The lead — The judgments which were heavy, as lead upon them, are all wasted, and do no good. In vain — Let the artist use his greatest skill and industry, yet is it all in vain. |
Jeremiah 6:29
The (x) bellows is burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
(x) All the pain and labour that has been taken with them is lost. |
- the founder:
Jeremiah 9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
Proverbs 17:3 The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.
Malachi 3:2-3 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: ... And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
|
- in vain:
Isaiah 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: [yet] surely my judgment [is] with the LORD, and my work with my God.
Ezekiel 24:13 In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
Hosea 11:7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
