Contextual Overview

19 Ah my belly, ah my belly shalt thou crie, howe is my heart so sore? my heart panteth within me, I can not be styll, for I haue hearde the crying of the trumpettes, and peales of warre. 20 They crye murther vpon murther, the whole lande shall perishe: Immediatly my tentes were destroyed, and my hanginges in the twincklyng of an eye. 21 Howe long shall I see the tokens of warre, and heare the noyse of the trumpettes? 22 [Neuerthelesse, this shall come vpon them,] because my people is become foolishe, and hath not knowen me: they are the children of foolishnesse, and without any discretion: To do euyll, they haue wit inough: but to do well, they haue no wisdome. 23 I haue loked vpon the earth, and see it was waste and voyde: I loked towarde heauen, and it had no shine. 24 I behelde the mountaynes, and lo, they trembled, and all the hylles were in a feare. 25 I loked about me, and there was no body: and all the birdes of the ayre were away. 26 I marked well, and the plowed fielde was become waste, yea all their cities were broken downe at the presence of the Lord and indignation of his wrath. 27 For thus hath the Lorde saide: The whole lande shalbe desolate, yet wyll I not then haue done. 28 And therfore shall the earth mourne, and the heauen be sorie aboue: for the thyng that I haue spoken to the prophetes, purposed, and taken vpon me to do, shall not repent me, and I wyll not go from it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Destruction upon destruction is cried;.... Or, "breach upon breach" g; as soon as one affliction is over, another comes on; and upon the news of one calamity, tidings are brought of another, as in Job's case: it signifies, that distress and troubles would come thick and fast, and that there would be no end of them, until there was an utter destruction, as this phrase signifies, and the following words show. Kimchi interprets it of the destruction of the ten tribes which came first, and of the destruction of Judah that came now.

For the whole land is spoiled, or "wasted" h; that is, the land of Judea:

suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment: meaning either the armies of his people, which dwelt in tents, and were destroyed at once; or the cities, towns, and habitations of his countrymen, which he compares to tents, as being easily beat down or overthrown; and so the Targum interprets it of cities; and the prophet seems to intimate that this destruction would reach to Anathoth, where his tent; cottage, and curtains were. So sudden destruction some times comes, when men are crying Peace, peace, 1 Thessalonians 5:3.

g שבר על שבר "contritio super contritionem", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius. h שדדה "vastata", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Destruction ... - Or, breaking upon breaking Jeremiah 4:6. The news of one breaking, one violent calamity, follows close upon another.

My curtains - The curtains of the tent, put here for the tents themselves. tents were the ordinary habitations of the Israelites.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 4:20. Destruction upon destruction — Cities burnt, and their inhabitants destroyed.

My tents spoiled — Even the solitary dwellings in the fields and open country do not escape.
