Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersXVI.(1) The word of the Lord came also unto me.--The formula introduces a new and distinct message, extending to Jeremiah 17:18, and it is one even more terrible in its threatenings than any that have preceded it. There is nothing in its contents to fix the date with any certainty, but we may think of it as probably about the close of the reign of Jehoiakim, when that king was trusting in an alliance with Egypt (Jeremiah 17:13), and the people taunted the prophet with the non-fulfilment of his predictions (Jeremiah 17:15).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen the wordדְבַר־ (ḏə·ḇar-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1697: A word, a matter, thing, a causeof the LORDיְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelcameוַיְהִ֥י (way·hî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, beto me:אֵלַ֥י (’ê·lay)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toJump to PreviousWord
