Contextual Overview

1 Heare folowe the wordes of the Lorde to the prophete Ieremie, which he spake against [all] the gentiles. 2 These wordes folowing preached he in the Egyptians, concerning the hoast of Pharao Necho kyng of Egypt, when he was in Charchamis beside the water of Euphrates, what tyme as Nabuchodonozor the kyng of Babylon slue hym, in the fourth yere of Iehoakim the sonne of Iosias kyng of Iuda. 3 Make redy buckler and shielde, and go foorth to fight. 4 Harnesse your horses, and set your selues vpon them, set your sallets fast on, bryng foorth speares, scoure your swordes, and put on your brestplates. 5 But alas, howe happeneth it that I see you so afraide? why shrinke ye backe? Their worthyes are slayne, yea they runne so fast away that none of them looketh behinde hym: fearefulnesse is fallen vpon euery one of them saith the Lorde. 6 The lightest of foote shall not flee away, and the worthyes shal not escape: towarde the north by the water of Euphrates they dyd stumble and fall. 7 But what is he this that swelleth vp as it were a fludde, roaring and raging lyke the streames of water? 8 It is Egypt that ryseth vp lyke the fludde, and casteth out the waters with so great noyse: And he saide, I wyll go vp and wyll couer the earth, I wyll destroy the citie with them that are therin. 9 Get you vp ye horses, roule foorth ye charets, come foorth worthyes, ye Ethiopians, ye Libyans with your bucklers, ye Lydians with your bowes. 10 But this day of the Lorde God of hoastes, is a day of vengeaunce, that he may auenge him of his enemies: The sworde shall deuour, it shalbe satisfied and bathed in their blood, for the Lord God of hoastes shall haue a slayne offering towarde the north, by the water of Euphrates.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles. Or "nations"; distinguished from the Jews; not all the nations of the world, but some hereafter mentioned, as the Egyptians, Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Syrians, Arabians, Persians, and Chaldeans: or "concerning the nations" p; the above mentioned; though the prophecies delivered out concerning them are all against them, and not in their favour. Mention is made of Jeremiah's prophesying against all the nations in Jeremiah 25:13; after which follow the several prophecies contained in the next chapters in the Septuagint and Arabic versions, as they stand in the Polyglot Bible.

p על גוים "super gentes", Montanus; "de gentibus", Cocceius.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XLVI

The difference between the preceding and the subsequent

prophecies in point of composition is very remarkable; the

last excelling much in majesty and elegance. This chapter (of

which the first verse forms a general title to this and the

five chapters following) contains two distinct prophecies

relating to Egypt. The first was delivered previous to an

engagement between Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt, and

Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; in which the Egyptians were

routed in Carchemish with great slaughter, as here predicted.

The prophet sees the mighty preparations; but they are all

declared to be of no avail, as God had decreed their fall, 1-6.

The King of Egypt, however, is represented as marching with all

the confidence of victory, like a river overflowing its banks,

and threatening all around with its inundation, 7, 8.

But this immense armament of Pharaoh-necho, consisting of

various nations, shall, by a righteous judgment of God, receive

such a signal overthrow near the river Euphrates, that the

political consequence of Egypt shall be thereby irretrievably

ruined, and its remaining power become contemptible in the

sight of the nations, 9-12.

The other prophecy, beginning at the thirteenth verse, relates

to the memorable overthrow of the Egyptians by Nebuchadnezzar,

subsequent to his siege of Tyre, in the sixteenth year after

the destruction of Jerusalem, 13-26.

The promise, in the conclusion of the chapter, of preservation

to the Jews, (who have for many ages continued a distinct

people, when the various nations of antiquity who oppressed

them, or with whom they had any intercourse, have long ago

ceased to have any separate and visible existence,) has been

most remarkably fulfilled; and is a very signal act of

providence, and a pledge of the restoration of Israel to the

Divine favour, when the time of the Gentiles shall be

fulfilled, 27, 28.

NOTES ON CHAP. XLVI

Verse Jeremiah 46:1. The word of the Lor d -against the Gentiles — This is a general title to the following collection of prophecies, written concerning different nations, which had less or more connexion with the Jews, either as enemies, neighbours, or allies.

They were not written at the same time; and though some of them bear dates, yet it would be difficult to give them any chronological arrangement. Dahler's mode of ascertaining the times of their delivery may be seen in the table in the introduction.
