JEREMIAH'S LAMENTATION FOR THE JEWS' SINS AND CONSEQUENT PUNISHMENT. (Jer. 9:1-26) This verse is more fitly joined to the last chapter, as Jer 9:23 in the Hebrew (compare Isa 22:4; Lam 2:11; Lam 3:48).
Quelle öffnen ↗Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,.... Or, "who will give to my head water, and to mine eyes a fountain of tears?" as the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Arabic versions. The prophet wishes that his head was turned and dissolved into water, and that tears might flow from his eyes as water issues out from a fountain; and he suggests, that could this be, it would not be sufficient to deplore the miserable estate of his people, and to express the inward grief and sorrow of his mind on account of it. That I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people; the design of all this is to set forth the greatness and horribleness of the destruction, signifying that words were wanting to express it, and tears to lament it; and to awaken the attention of the people to it, who were quite hardened, insensible, and stupid. The Jewish writers close the eighth chapter with this verse, and begin the ninth with the following.
Quelle öffnen ↗Jer 9:1. "Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfarers! then would I leave my people, and go away from them. For they be all adulterers, a crew of faithless ones. Jer 9:2. They bend their tongue like their bow with lying; and not according to faithfulness do they manage in the land, but go on from evil to evil, and me they know not, saith Jahve. Jer 9:3. Beware each of his neighbour, and trust not in any brother; for every brother supplanteth, and every friend goeth slandering. Jer 9:4. And one overreaCheth the other, and truth they speak not; they teach their tongue to speak lies, to deal perversely they weary themselves. Jer 9:5. Thy dwelling is in the midst of deceit; in deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jahveh. Jer 9:6. Therefore thus hath spoken Jahveh of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how should I deal in regard to the daughter of my people? Jer 9:7. A deadly arrow is their tongue; they speak deceit; with his mouth one speaketh peace with his neighbour, and inwardly within him he layeth ambush. Jer 9:8. Shall I not visit this upon them? saith Jahveh; or on such a people as this shall not my soul take vengeance?" Jeremiah would flee into the wilderness, far away from his people; because amidst such a corrupt, false, and cunning people, life had become unbearable, Jer 9:1. מי יתּנני, as in Isa 27:4, equivalent to מי יתּן לי, Psa 55:7 : who would give me = Oh that I had! The "lodging-place" is not a resting-place under the open sky, but a harbour for travellers - a building (khan) erected on the route of the caravans, as a shelter for travellers. Adultery and faithlessness are mentioned as cardinal sins. The first sin has been rebuked in Jer 5:7, the second is exposed in Jer 9:2-4. בּוגד, faithless either towards God or one's fe…
Quelle öffnen ↗The prophet, being commissioned both to foretel the destruction coming upon Judah and Jerusalem and to point out the sin for which that destruction was brought upon them, here, as elsewhere, speaks of both very feelingly: what he said of both came from the heart, and therefore one would have thought it would reach to the heart. I. He abandons himself to sorrow in consideration of the calamitous condition of his people, which he sadly laments, a one that preferred Jerusalem before his chief joy and her grievances before his chief sorrows. 1. He laments the slaughter of the persons, the blood shed and the lives lost (Jer 9:1): "O that my head were waters, quite melted and dissolved with grief, that so my eyes might be fountains of tears, weeping abundantly, continually, and without intermission, still sending forth fresh floods of tears as there still occur fresh occasions for them!" The same word in Hebrew signifies both the eye and a fountain, as if in this land of sorrows our eyes were designed rather for weeping than seeing. Jeremiah wept much, and yet wished he could weep more, that he might affect a stupid people and rouse them to a due sense of the hand of God gone out against them. Note, It becomes us, while we are here in this vale of tears, to conform to the temper of the climate and to sow in tears. Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted hereafter; but let them expect that while they are here the clouds will still return after the rain. While we find our hearts such fountains of sin, it is fit that our eyes should be fountains of tears. But Jeremiah's grief here is upon the public account: he would weep day and night, not so much for the death of his own near relations, but for the slain of the daughter of his people, the multitudes of his co…

Wenn ihr aber nicht darauf hören wollt, so wird meine Seele im Verborgenen weinen wegen eures Hochmuts, mein Auge wird unaufhörlich weinen und in Tränen zerfließen, weil die Herde des HERRN gefangen weggeführt wird.
Deshalb sage ich: Schaut weg von mir, denn ich muß bitterlich weinen; gebt euch keine Mühe, mich zu trösten über den Untergang der Tochter meines Volkes!
Meine Augen sind ausgeweint, mein Inneres kocht; mein Herz schmilzt in mir wegen des Zusammenbruches der Tochter meines Volkes, weil die jungen Kinder und Säuglinge auf den Gassen verschmachtet sind!
Gürte einen Sack um dich, o Tochter meines Volkes, und wälze dich in der Asche; traure wie um einen einzigen Sohn, halte bittere Klage! Denn plötzlich wird der Verwüster über uns kommen.
Meine Seele dürstet nach Gott, nach dem lebendigen Gott: Wann darf ich kommen und erscheinen vor Gottes Angesicht?
Darum weine ich mit den Weinenden von Jaeser um den Weinstock von Sibma, ich benetze dich, Hesbon und Eleale, mit meinen Tränen; denn über deinen Herbst und in deine Weinlese ist ein Jauchzen der Feinde gefallen!
Auch das sollst du ihnen sagen: Meine Augen zerfließen in Tränen Tag und Nacht, ohne Aufhören; denn schwer verwundet ist die Jungfrau, die Tochter meines Volkes, durch einen sehr gefährlichen Schlag.
Tränenströme fließen aus meinen Augen, weil man dein Gesetz nicht befolgt.
Mein Leib, mein Leib, wie tut er mir so weh! O ihr Wände meines Herzens! Mein Herz tobt in mir; ich kann nicht schweigen! Denn der Posaune Ton habe ich vernommen, meine Seele Kriegsgeschrei.
