Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 9:2

_ _ lodging-place — a caravanseral for caravans, or companies travelling in the desert, remote from towns. It was a square building enclosing an open court. Though a lonely and often filthy dwelling, Jeremiah would prefer even it to the comforts of Jerusalem, so as to be removed from the pollutions of the capital (Psalms 55:7, Psalms 55:8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 9:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 9:2

A lodging place — Some retiring place, though it were but some mean hut in the wilderness.
