Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(37) Thus shalt thou say to the prophet . . .--The verse repeats Jeremiah 23:35, with the one difference that men are to use this, the simpler form of language, when they come to the prophet, as well as when they are speaking one to another. The affectation of big words was equally out of place in either case. In modern phraseology, the whole passage is a protest against the hypocrisy which shows itself in cant--i.e., in the use of solemn words that have become hollow and unmeaning.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThusכֹּ֥ה (kōh)AdverbStrong's 3541: Like this, thus, here, nowyou are to sayתֹאמַ֖ר (ṯō·mar)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, saytoאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe prophet:הַנָּבִ֑יא (han·nā·ḇî)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5030: A spokesman, speaker, prophet‘Whatמֶה־ (meh-)InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whathas the LORDיְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelanswered you?’עָנָ֣ךְ (‘ā·nāḵ)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular | second person masculine singularStrong's 6030: To answer, respondand, ‘Whatוּמַה־ (ū·mah-)Conjunctive waw | InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whathas the LORDיְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelspoken?’דִּבֶּ֖ר (dib·ber)Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1696: To arrange, to speak, to subdueJump to PreviousLord's Prophet What
