Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. This is God’s Word; he does not prophesy smooth things to the wicked, he does not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; Let him tell it as a dream, for it is nothing more than that. If he has dreamt it, let him say, “This is a dream that I have dreamed, but...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. Let him speak it as the Word of the Lord. Jer_23:28. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Man’s thoughts, man’s conceptions, at their very best, are but as chaff; only the Word of the Lord is the true wheat.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Borrowed sermons — pages of other people’s experience — fragments pulled from old or new divines — nothing of their own, nothing that God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. They have not any hearts; they only use their tongues. They say, “He saith,” as if God had said to them something which he has never said.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. See how heavily God deals with the false prophets of Jeremiah’s time; and he will deal...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. Too good to be lost. The prophets said much when they did not write, and this particular chapter and the next were to be carefully written down. God here begins to deal with his guilty...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. We believe in verbal inspiration; and, though some people treat with contempt the very idea of words being inspired, be you sure of this, if you have not inspired words, you are not...

For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. Souls get into captivity. God has ways of restoring them. Tonight I expect, and believe, that many captives will be...

For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will came them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. “Why” say you, “I thought you began to read words of comfort. Now there is a drop.” Yes, there always is. Whenever God is going to comfort a man, he first makes him see his need...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. God hears his people’s voices when they cry; he knows the tone and accent which they use; and, sometimes, when he is listening to them, he hears “a voice of trembling, of fear,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Everywhere, when the time of mercy came, it was a bad time, a dark time, a time of inward throbs, and throes, and travail.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble: but he shall be saved out of it. But he shall be saved out of it. What a flash of lightning across the black face of the cloud. “He shall be saved out of it.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: Here is a word for you tried ones.

But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
