CONTINUATION OF THE SUBJECT AT THE CLOSE OF THE ELEVENTH CHAPTER. (Jer. 12:1-17) (Psa 51:4). let me talk, &c.--only let me reason the case with Thee: inquire of Thee the causes why such wicked men as these plotters against my life prosper (compare Job 12:6; Job 21:7; Psa 37:1, Psa 37:35; Psa 73:3; Mal 3:15). It is right, when hard thoughts of God's providence suggest themselves, to fortify our minds by justifying God beforehand (as did Jeremiah), even before we hear the reasons of His dealings.
Відкрити джерело ↗Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee,.... The six first verses of this chapter properly belong to the preceding, being of the same argument, and in strict connection with the latter part of it. Jeremiah appears to be under the same temptation, on account of the prosperity of the wicked, as Asaph was, Psa 73:1 only he seems to have been more upon his guard, and less liable to fall by it; he sets out: with this as a first principle, an undoubted truth, that God was righteous, and could do nothing wrong and amiss, however unaccountable his providences might be to men: he did not mean, by entering the list with him, or by litigating this point, to charge him with any unrighteousness this he took for granted, and was well satisfied of, that the Lord was righteous, "though", says he, "I plead with thee" (t); so some read the words. De Dieu renders them interrogatively, "shall I plead with thee?" shall I dare to do it? shall I take that boldness and use that freedom with thee? I will. The Targum is the reverse, "thou art more just, O Lord, than that I should contend before thy word:'' yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments; not of his laws, statutes, word, and ordinances, sometimes so called; but rather of his providences, which are always dispensed with equity and justice, though not always manifest; they are sometimes unsearchable and past finding out, and will bear a sober and modest inquiry into them, and debate concerning them; the people of God may take the liberty of asking questions concerning them, when they are at a loss to account for them. So the Targum, "but I will ask a question of judgments before thee.'' The words may be rendered, "but I will speak judgments with thee" (u); things that are right; that are agreeable to the word of God and sound…
Відкрити джерело ↗The prophet's displeasure at the prosperity of the wicked. - The enmity experienced by Jeremiah at the hands of his countrymen at Anathoth excites his displeasure at the prosperity of the wicked, who thrive and live with immunity. He therefore beings to expostulate with God, and demands from God's righteousness that they be cut off out of the land (Jer 12:1-4); whereupon the Lord reproves him for this outburst of ill-nature and impatience by telling him that he must patiently endure still worse. - This section, the connection of which with the preceding is unmistakeable, shows by a concrete instance the utter corruptness of the people; and it has been included in the prophecies because it sets before us the greatness of God's long-suffering towards a people ripe for destruction. Jer 12:1 "Righteous art Thou, Jahveh, if I contend with Thee; yet will I plead with Thee in words. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper, are all secure that deal faithlessly? Jer 12:2. Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; grow, yea, bring forth fruit. Near art Thou in their mouth, yet far from their reins. Jer 12:3. But Thou, Jahveh, knowest me, seest me, and triest mine heart toward Thee. Tear them away like sheep to the slaughter, and devote them for a day of slaughter. Jer 12:4. How long is the earth to mourn and the herb of the field to wither? For the wickedness of them that dwell therein, gone are cattle and fowl; for they say: He sees not our end. Jer 12:5. If with the footmen thou didst run and they wearied thee, how couldst thou contend with the horses? and if thou trustest in the land of peace, how wilt thou do in the glory of Jordan? Jer 12:6. For even thy brethren and they father's house, even they are faithless towards thee, yea, they call after thee with full…
Відкрити джерело ↗The prophet doubts not but it would be of use to others to know what had passed between God and his soul, what temptations he had been assaulted with and how he had got over them; and therefore he here tells us, I. What liberty he humbly took, and was graciously allowed him, to reason with God concerning his judgments, Jer 12:1. He is about to plead with God, not to quarrel with him, or find fault with his proceedings, but to enquire into the meaning of them, that he might more and more see reason to be satisfied in them, and might have wherewith to answer both his own and others' objections against them. The works of the Lord, and the reasons of them, are sought out even of those that have pleasure therein. Psa 111:2. We may not strive with our Maker, but we may reason with him. The prophet lays down a truth of unquestionable certainty, which he resolves to abide by in managing this argument: Righteous art thou, O Lord! when I plead with thee. Thus he arms himself against the temptation wherewith he was assaulted, to envy the prosperity of the wicked, before he entered into a parley with it. Note, When we are most in the dark concerning the meaning of God's dispensations we must still resolve to keep up right thoughts of God, and must be confident of this, that he never did, nor ever will do, the least wrong to any of his creatures; even when his judgments are unsearchable as a great deep, and altogether unaccountable, yet his righteousness is as conspicuous and immovable as the great mountains, Psa 36:6. Though sometimes clouds and darkness are round about him, yet justice and judgment are always the habitation of his throne, Psa 97:2. When we find it hard to understand particular providences we must have recourse to general truths as our first principles, and abide b…
Відкрити джерело ↗12:1-4 Jeremiah wondered why a just God did not immediately punish the wicked. Jeremiah could not stand the continued wickedness, yet he also grieved for the terrible human suffering that he saw coming (10:19-25). 12:1 Jeremiah affirmed the Lord’s justice when dealing with him in the past. However, since he was obedient, he could not understand why his life was being threatened. By contrast, those who were wicked and evil seemed to be prosperous and happy.

А тепер ми вважаємо пи́шних щасли́вими, і ті, хто вчиня́є безбожне, буду́ються та випробо́вують Бога, і втікають“.
Замишляє лукавство язик твій, як та бритва наго́стрена ти, що чиниш обману!
Тобі, Господи, справедливість, а нам сором на обличчя, як цього дня для юдея, і для ме́шканців Єрусалиму, і для всього Ізраїля, близьки́х та далеких, по всіх тих края́х, куди Ти їх вигнав за їхнє спроневі́рення, що допустилися його перед Тобою.
Тому то Зако́н припиня́ється, і не виходить до чину наза́всіди право, бо несправедливий вигу́блює праведного, тому правосуддя вихо́дить покри́вленим.
Серед нього Госпо́дь справедливий, — Він кривди не чинить, щора́нку дає Своє право на со́няшне світло, не бра́кне його, але кри́вдник не ві́дає со́рому.
Спокійні намети грабіжників, і безпечність у тих, хто Бога гніви́ть, у то́го, хто ніби то Бога прова́дить рукою своєю.
Але, Господи Саваоте, Ти Суддя сраведливий, що досліджуєш ни́рки та серце, — хай над ними побачу я по́мсту Твою, бо справу свою я дові́рив Тобі!
Господи, Боже Ізраїлів, Ти праведний, бо ми позоста́лися останком, як цього дня. Ось ми в провині своїй перед лицем Твоїм, бо не всто́яти нам за це перед лицем Твоїм!“
Бо також твої бра́ття та дім твого ба́тька — і вони тебе зраджують, і криком кричать за тобою, — не вір їм, коли й добре тобі говори́тимуть!
