Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.--These were probably, as a body, identical with those named in Jeremiah 36:12, but the party opposed to the prophet were now apparently stronger than they had been. Neither they nor Irijah would listen to the prophet's denial of the accusation. The fact that the siege had been raised by the Chaldaeans may have given fresh strength to the party of resistance. Possibly also many of the prophet's friends had shared the captivity of Jehoiakim.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“That is a lie,”שֶׁ֗קֶר (še·qer)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 8267: Deception, disappointment, falsehoodJeremiahיִרְמְיָ֜הוּ (yir·mə·yā·hū)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3414: Jeremiah -- 'Yah loosens', the name of a number of Israelitesreplied.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“I am notאֵינֶ֤נִּי (’ê·nen·nî)Adverb | first person common singularStrong's 369: A non-entity, a negative particledesertingנֹפֵל֙ (nō·p̄êl)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 5307: To fall, lietoעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe Chaldeans!”הַכַּשְׂדִּ֔ים (hak·kaś·dîm)Article | Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 3778: Chaldeans -- a region of southern Babylon and its inhabBut Irijahיִרְאִיָּיה֙ (yir·’î·yāyh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3376: Irijah -- 'Yah sees', an Israelite of Jeremiah's timewould notוְלֹ֥א (wə·lō)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nolistenשָׁמַ֖ע (šā·ma‘)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlyto him;אֵלָ֑יו (’ê·lāw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toinstead, he arrestedוַיִּתְפֹּ֤שׂ (way·yiṯ·pōś)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 8610: To manipulate, seize, chiefly to capture, wield, to overlay, to use unwarrantablyJeremiahבְּיִרְמְיָ֔הוּ (bə·yir·mə·yā·hū)Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3414: Jeremiah -- 'Yah loosens', the name of a number of Israelitesand tookוַיְבִאֵ֖הוּ (way·ḇi·’ê·hū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gohim toאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe officials.הַשָּׂרִֽים׃ (haś·śā·rîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 8269: Chieftain, chief, ruler, official, captain, princeJump to PreviousArrested Babylonians Chaldaeans Chaldeans Chalde'ans Deserting Ear Fall Falling Falsehood Hearkened Hold Irijah Iri'jah Jeremiah Laid Officials Princes Prisoner Rulers Seized That's True.
