■ 예레미야 21장
1. 시드기야 왕이 말기야의 아들 바스훌과 제사장 마아세야의 아들 스바냐를 보내어 예레미야에게 말하기를 바벨론 왕 느부갓네살이 우리를 치니 청컨대 너는 우리를 위하여 여호와께 간구하라 여호와께서 혹시 그 모든 기사로 우리를 도와 행하시면 그가 우리를 떠나리라 하던 그 때에 여호와께로부터 예레미야에게 말씀이 임하니라
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord , when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah , and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest , saying ,
2. _
Enquire , I pray thee, of the Lord for us ; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the Lord will deal with us according to all his wondrous works , that he may go up from us.
3. 예레미야가 그들에게 대답하되 너희는 시드기야에게 이같이 말하라
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah :
4. 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 보라 너희가 성밖에서 바벨론 왕과 또 너희를 에운 갈대아인과 싸우는 바 너희 손에 가진 병기를 내가 돌이킬 것이요 그들을 이 성 중에 모아 들이리라
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel ; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands , wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon , and against the Chaldeans , which besiege you without the walls , and I will assemble them into the midst of this city .
5. 내가 든 손과 강한 팔 곧 노와 분과 대노로 친히 너희를 칠 것이며
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm , even in anger , and in fury , and in great wrath .
6. 내가 또 이 성에 거주하는 자를 사람이나 짐승이나 다 치리니 그들이 큰 염병에 죽으리라 하셨다 하라
And I will smite the inhabitants of this city , both man and beast : they shall die of a great pestilence .
7. 여호와께서 또 말씀하시되 그 후에 내가 유다 왕 시드기야와 그 신하들과 백성과 및 이 성읍에서 염병과 칼과 기근에서 남은 자를 바벨론 왕 느부갓네살의 손과 그 대적의 손과 그 생명을 찾는 자들의 손에 붙이리니 그가 칼날로 그들을 치되 아끼지 아니하며 긍휼히 여기지 아니하며 불쌍히 여기지 아니하리라 하셨느니라
And afterward , saith the Lord , I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah , and his servants , and the people , and such as are left in this city from the pestilence , from the sword , and from the famine , into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon , and into the hand of their enemies , and into the hand of those that seek their life : and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword ; he shall not spare them, neither have pity , nor have mercy .
8. 여호와께서 가라사대 너는 또 백성에게 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하신다 하라 보라 내가 너희 앞에 생명의 길과 사망의 길을 두었노니
And unto this people thou shalt say , Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I set before you the way of life , and the way of death .
9. 이 성에 거주하는 자는 칼과 기근과 염병에 죽으려니와 너희를 에운 갈대아인에게 나가서 항복하는 자는 살리니 그의 생명은 노략한 것 같이 얻으리라
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword , and by the famine , and by the pestilence : but he that goeth out , and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live , and his life shall be unto him for a prey .
10. 나 여호와가 말하노라 내가 나의 얼굴을 이 성으로 향함은 복을 위함이 아니요 화를 위함이라 이 성이 바벨론 왕의 손에 붙임이 될 것이요 그는 그것을 불로 사르리라
For I have set my face against this city for evil , and not for good , saith the Lord : it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon , and he shall burn it with fire .
11. 유다 왕의 집에 대한 여호와의 말을 들으라
And touching the house of the king of Judah , say, Hear ye the word of the Lord ;
12. 나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 다윗의 집이여 너는 아침마다 공평히 판결하여 탈취 당한 자를 압박자의 손에서 건지라 그리하지 아니하면 너희는 악행을 인하여 내 노가 불 같이 일어나서 사르리니 능히 끌 자가 없으리라
O house of David , thus saith the Lord ; Execute judgment in the morning , and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor , lest my fury go out like fire , and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings .
13. 나 여호와가 이르노라 골짜기와 평원 반석의 거민아 보라 너희가 말하기를 누가 내려와서 우리를 치리요 누가 우리의 거처에 들어오리요 하거니와 나는 네 대적이라
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley , and rock of the plain , saith the Lord ; which say , Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations ?
14. 내가 너희 행위대로 벌할 것이요 내가 또 수풀에 불을 놓아 그 사경을 사르리라 여호와의 말이니라
But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings , saith the Lord : and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

【렘21:1 JFB】렘21:1-44. Zedekiah Consults Jeremiah What Is to Be the Event of the War: God's Answer.
Written probably when, after having repulsed the Egyptians who brought succors to the Jews (렘37:5-8; 왕하24:7), the Chaldees were a second time advancing against Jerusalem, but were not yet closely besieging it (렘21:4, 13) [Rosenmuller]. This chapter probably ought to be placed between the thirty-seventh and thirty-eight chapters; since what the "princes," in 렘38:2, represent Jeremiah as having said, is exactly what we find in 렘21:9. Moreover, the same persons as here (렘21:1) are mentioned in 렘37:3; 38:1, namely, Pashur and Zephaniah. What is here more fully related is there simply referred to in the historical narrative. Compare 렘52:24; 왕하25:18 [Maurer].
1. Zedekiah—a prince having some reverence for sacred things, for which reason he sends an honorable embassy to Jeremiah; but not having moral courage to obey his better impulses.
Pashur—son of Melchiah, of the fifth order of priests, distinct from Pashur, son of Immer (렘20:1), of the sixteenth order (대상24:9, 14).
Zephaniah—of the twenty-fourth order. They are designated, not by their father, but by their family (대상24:18).
【렘21:1 CWC】[MESSAGES IN ZEDEKIAH'S REIGN]
These chapters furnish a convenient unit, as they are apparently a group of discourses delivered in Zedekiah's reign -- the king of the captivity period.
The first, and one of the most interesting, is that concerning the siege (c. 21). Note the occasion (vv. 1, 2) and observe that "Pashur" was not he of the last lesson. The siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar had begun and the king of Judah hoped the prophet would have some encouraging word from God for him and the nation. But the opposite was the case (vv. 3-7). The message to the people (vv. 8-10), was the theme Jeremiah had to proclaim for the greater part of his ministry down until the event occurred.
Chapter 22 is chiefly about the previous kings of Judah in Jeremiah's time. They need not weep for Josiah whom the Lord had taken to Himself (v. 10), but for Shallum (v. 11), another name for Jehoahaz (see margin), the son of Josiah who had been carried to Egypt as we saw in the book of Kings. They should not lament for Jehoiakim, now dead, for he was unworthy of it (vv. 13-19). "Coniah," the fourth king (vv. 24-30), is another name for Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, taken captive by the Babylonians, whose story we were made familiar with in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles.
The twenty-third chapter contains one of those beautiful messages of the future redemption of Judah and Israel with which we have become acquainted in the Psalms and Isaiah (vv. 1-8). Observe the Messianic allusion in verses 5 and 6. And do not overlook God's testimony to His own Word that follows, coupled with the judgment pronounced on the false teachers who put their own word instead of it.
Chapter 24, the type of the good figs and the bad, explains itself. The Jews carried into captivity earlier than Zedekiah's time would have an opportunity to return from Babylon after a while, but those now in the land and to be carried away later would not have such opportunity.
Questions.
1. What is the title of this lesson and why is it given?
2. On what theme is the first discourse?
3. State the circumstances.
4. What four former kings of Judah are referred to?
5. What name is given our Lord Jesus Christ in chapter 23?
6. Can you tell the story of the good and bad figs?
MESSAGES IN JEHOIAKIM'S REIGN
Chapters 25, 26
Having just considered discourses in Zedekiah's reign, and now returning to that of Jehoiakim (25:1), it can be seen that the chapters are not arranged chronologically.
The first message is that of the seventy years captivity. We are familiar with that period as Judah's forced stay in Babylon, and it is interesting to see the place where it was definitely predicted (vv. 11, 12).
Note what leads up to the prediction, God's patience and faithfulness towards His people in their sin (vv. 3-7); and His choice of Babylon as the Gentile power, into whose hands he is pleased for the time being, in judgment on Judah, to commit the sovereignty of the earth (vv. 8, 9). Note what follows. Babylon's motive is selfish, and her time of punishment will surely come (vv. 12-14). Practically all the nations are now included in the coming judgment (vv. 15, to the end). The complete fulfillment is at the end of the age.
Some will be more interested in the next chapter, where the prophet because of his boldness (vv. 1-7) is arrested and threatened with death (vv. 8, 9). In this case the priests, the prophets and the people are against him, but not the princes (v, 10). This is the method God adopted in the execution of His original promise to Jeremiah (1:17-19). That is. He did not permit all of his enemies to be united against him at the same time.
The prophet has a hearing (vv. 12-15). The princes express their opinion (v. 16). The elders give their judgment (vv. 17-19). A case is cited of a prophet who, unlike Micah, lost his life as the result of his fidelity (vv. 20-23). But happily that was not true of Jeremiah (v. 24).
【렘21:1 MHCC】 The only way of deliverance is to be surrendering to the Babylonians. (렘21:1-10) The wickedness of the king and his household. (렘21:11-14)
렘21:1-10 When the siege had begun, Zedekiah sent to ask of Jeremiah respecting the event. In times of distress and danger, men often seek those to counsel and pray for them, whom, at other times, they despise and oppose; but they only seek deliverance from punishment. When professors continue in disobedience, presuming upon outward privileges, let them be told that the Lord will prosper his open enemies against them. As the king and his princes would not surrender, the people are exhorted to do so. No sinner on earth is left without a Refuge, who really desires one; but the way of life is humbling, it requires self-denial, and exposes to difficulties.
렘21:11-14 The wickedness of the king and his family was the worse because of their relation to David. They were urged to act with justice, at once, lest the Lord's anger should be unquenchable. If God be for us, who can be against us? But if he be against us, who can do any thing for us?
【렘21:2 JFB】2. Nebuchadrezzar—the more usual way of spelling the name in Jeremiah than Nebuchadnezzar. From Persiac roots, meaning either "Nebo, the chief of the gods," or, "Nebo, the god of fire." He was son of Nabopolassar, who committed the command of the army against Egypt, at Carchemish, and against Judea, to the crown prince.
according to all his wondrous works—Zedekiah hopes for God's special interposition, such as was vouchsafed to Hezekiah against Sennacherib (왕하19:35, 36).
he—Nebuchadnezzar.
go up from us—rise up from the siege which he sat down to lay (렘37:5, 11, Margin;민16:24, 27; 왕상15:19, Margin).
【렘21:4 JFB】4. God of Israel—Those "wondrous works" (렘21:2) do not belong to you; God is faithful; it is you who forfeit the privileges of the covenant by unfaithfulness. "God will always remain the God of Israel, though He destroy thee and thy people" [Calvin].
turn back the weapons—I will turn them to a very different use from what you intend them. With them you now fight against the Chaldees "without the walls" (the Jewish defenders being as yet able to sally forth more freely, and defend the fountains outside the walls in the valley under Mount Zion; see 렘21:13; 렘19:6, 7); but soon ye shall be driven back within the city [Maurer], and "in the midst" of it, I will cause all your arms to be gathered in one place ("I will assemble them," namely, your arms) by the Chaldean conquerors [Grotius], who shall slay you with those very arms [Menochius].
【렘21:5 JFB】5. The Jews shall have not merely the Chaldees, but Jehovah Himself in wrath at their provocations, fighting against them. Every word enhances the formidable character of God's opposition, "I myself … outstretched hand … strong arm (no longer as in 출6:6, and in the case of Sennacherib, in your behalf, but) in anger … fury … great wrath."
【렘21:7 JFB】7. the people, and such—rather, explanatory, "the people," namely, "such as are left."
seek their life—content with nothing short of their death; not content with plundering and enslaving them.
smite with … sword—This was the fate of Zedekiah's sons and many of the Jewish nobles. Zedekiah himself, though not put to a violent death, died of grief. Compare as to the accurate fulfilment, 렘34:4; 겔12:13; 왕하25:6, 7.
【렘21:8 JFB】8. "Life," if ye surrender; "death," if ye persist in opposing the Chaldees (compare 신30:19). The individuality of Jeremiah's mission from God is shown in that he urges to unconditional surrender; whereas all former prophets had urged the people to oppose their invaders (사7:16; 37:33, 35).
【렘21:9 JFB】9. (렘38:2, 17, 18).
falleth to—deserts to.
life … a prey—proverbial, to make one's escape with life, like a valuable spoil or prey that one carries off; the narrowness of the escape, and the joy felt at it, are included in the idea (렘39:18).
【렘21:10 JFB】10. set … face against—determined to punish (See on 레17:10).
【렘21:12 JFB】12. house of David—the royal family and all in office about the king. He calls them so, because it was the greater disgrace that they had so degenerated from the piety of their forefather, David; and to repress their glorying in their descent from him, as if they were therefore inviolable; but God will not spare them as apostates.
in the morning—alluding to the time of dispensing justice (욥24:17; 시101:8); but the sense is mainly proverbial, for "with promptness" (시90:14; 143:8). Maurer translates, "every morning."
lest my fury … like fire—Already it was kindled, and the decree of God gone forth against the city (렘21:4, 5), but the king and his house may yet be preserved by repentance and reformation. God urges to righteousness, not as if they can thereby escape punishment wholly, but as the condition of a mitigation of it.
【렘21:13 JFB】13. inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain—Jerusalem personified; situated for the most part on hills, with valleys at the bottom of them, as the valley of Hinnom, &c.; and beyond the valleys and mountains again, a position most fortified by nature, whence the inhabitants fancied themselves beyond the reach of enemies; but since God is "against" them, their position will avail nothing for them. The "valley" between Mount Zion and Moriah is called Tyropœon. Robinson takes, "rock of the plain" as Mount Zion, on which is a level tract of some extent. It is appropriately here referred to, being the site of the royal residence of the "house of David," addressed (렘21:12).
