Jeremiah 8:20 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. The harvest is past - The siege of Jerusalem lasted two years; for Nebuchadnezzar came against it in the ninth year of Zedekiah, and the city was taken in the eleventh; see 2 Kings 25:1-3. This seems to have been a proverb: "We expected deliverance the first year - none came. We hoped for it the second year - we are disappointed; we are not saved - no deliverance is come."

Jeremiah 8:20

20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
