2 | Did Jeremiah have a wife and kids? | Gen 1:1 | Makarios | 7072 | ||
According to Jeremiah 16:2, Jeremiah himself was forbidden to marry. I believe that he was never married, since his call (Ch. 1) came to him as a reluctant young man, yet he is "set over the nations, to to pluck up and to break down, and to build and to plant"! Forbidding him of marriage is bitter to his tender and affectionate nature, since his imagination was haunted by his lost home happiness (Jer. 7:34,16:9,25:10,33:11). He was bound to be a man of sorrows. | ||||||
