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
