Jeremiah 6:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

This Chapter is as the former, and but a continuation of the same sermon. It contains the Lord's expostulation with his people for their sins and transgressions.

Jeremiah 6:1

There is somewhat particular, and worth notice in this personal direction to Benjamin. Distinguishing mercies are sweet mercies. Beth-haccerem means the house of vineyards. The Church is called, a vineyard of red wine. Isaiah 27:1-2. I do not say as much, but I would humbly ask, may not the expression without violence be supposed to refer to Christ as the defense?

Jeremiah 6:1

1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
