Contextual Overview

1The word of Yahweh also came to me saying, 2"You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place." 3For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and daughters born in this place and concerning their mothers who bear them and their fathers who beget them in this land: 4"They will die of deadly diseases; they will not be lamented or buried; they will be as dung on the surface of the ground and come to an end by sword and famine, and their carcasses will become food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth." 5For thus says Yahweh, "Do not enter the house of the funeral meal, or go to lament or to console them; for I have withdrawn My peace from this people," declares Yahweh, "My lovingkindness and compassion. 6Both great men and small will die in this land; they will not be buried; they will not be lamented, nor will anyone gash himself or shave his head for them. 7Men will not break bread in mourning for them, to comfort anyone for the dead, nor give them a cup of comforting to drink for anyone's father or mother. 8Moreover you shall not go into a house of feasting to sit with them to eat and drink." 9For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I am going to cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of rejoicing and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice 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.

NOTES ON CHAP. XVI

Verse Jeremiah 16:1. The word of the Lord came also unto me — This discourse Dahler supposes to have been delivered some time in the reign of Jehoiakim.
