Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying. The word of prophecy, as the Targum: this is a distinct prophecy from the former, though it may be connected with it; it referring to the destruction threatened in the latter part of the preceding chapter.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the first prophecy of the series Jeremiah 18:0, the fate of Jerusalem was still undetermined; a long line of kings might yet reign there in splendor, and the city be inhabited forever. This was possible only so long as it was still undecided whether Josiah’s efforts would end in a national reformation or not, and before Jehoiakim threw the weight of the kingly office into the opposite balance. In the present prophecy mercy is still offered to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, but they reject it Jeremiah 18:11-12. They have made their final choice: and thereupon follows the third prophecy of “the broken vessel” Jeremiah 19:1-15 in which the utter overthrow of city and kingdom is foretold. We should thus place this prophecy of the potter very early in the reign of Jehoiakim; and that of the broken vessel at the commencement of his fourth year. This internal evidence is confirmed by external proof.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVIII
The type of the potter's vessel, and its signification, 1-10.
The inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem exhorted to repentance,
11;
but on their refusal, (which is represented to be as unnatural
as if a man should prefer the snowy Lebanon or barren rock to a
fruitful plain, or other waters to the cool stream of the
fountain,) their destruction is predicted, 12-17.
In consequence of these plain reproofs and warnings of
Jeremiah, a conspiracy is formed against him, 18.
This leads him to appeal to God for his integrity, 19, 20;
who puts a most dreadful curse in the mouth of his prophet,
strongly indicative of the terrible fate of his enemies, 21-23.
NOTES ON CHAP. XVIII
