Contextual Overview

¹ The worde of the Lorde came also vnto mee, saying, ² Thou shalt not take thee a wife, nor haue sonnes nor daughters in this place. ³ For thus sayeth the Lorde concerning the sonnes, and concerning the daughters that are borne in this place, & concerning their mothers that beare them, & concerning their fathers, that beget them in this land, ⁴ They shal die of deathes and diseases: they shal not be lamented, neither shal they be buried, but they shalbe as dung vpon the earth, and they shalbe consumed by the sword, & by famine, and their carkeises shall be meate for the foules of the heauen, and for the beasts of the earth. ⁵ For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither goe to lament, nor be moued for the: for I haue taken my peace, fro this people, saith the Lord, euen mercy & compassion. ⁶ Both the great, and the smal shal die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them nor cut themselues, nor make themselues balde for them. ⁷ They shal not stretch out the hands for the in the mourning to comfort them for the dead, neither shal they giue them the cup of consolation to drinke for their father or for their mother. ⁸ Thou shalt not also goe into the house of feasting to sit with them to eate and to drinke. ⁹ For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, euen in your dayes the voyce of myrth, and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word of the Lord came unto me, saying. The Targum is, the word of prophecy from the Lord: whether this is a new prophecy, or the former continued, is not certain; the latter seems probable. This introduction is omitted in the Septuagint and Arabic versions.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In this prophecy Jeremiah 16:1-18, the punishment of the people is set forth in even sterner terms than in the last. The whole land is likened to a desert covered with the bodies of the dead, who lie unbemoaned and uncared for; and the prophet himself is commanded to abstain from the common usages of mankind that his motto of life, as well as his words, may warn the people of the greatness of the approaching calamity. There is, however, to be finally a return from exile, but only after the idolatry of the nation has been severely punished. The prophecy was probably written about the close of Jehoiakim’s reign.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVI

On account of the evils which threatened his country, the

prophet is forbidden to encumber himself with a wife and

family, or to bear any share in the little joys and sorrows of

his neighbours, which were to be forgotten and absorbed in

those public calamities, 1-9,

which their sins should draw on them, 10-13.

A future restoration however is intimated, 14, 15,

after these calamities should be endured, 16-18;

and the conversion of the Gentiles is foretold, 19-21.
