Subject: understanding of these verses? |
Bible Note: Hi John Thanks for the input, but Gill's exposition is not a clarification of the verses, his words are nothing more than a recounting of the same items contained in the verses. On to the ESV Notes. These notes are good as a brief history of the events in Israel of the time, and of the future for Israel (Judah). They come down to a rewording of the same events, ie a more vivid description of the Jeremaic process. But in actuality it says the same as (NASB) Sorry but neither one quite clarify. I thought it was more obvious as to what I was seeing. Jer.23:2,3 2.) Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: ("You have scattered My flock and driven them away,) and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to (D)attend to you for the (E)evil of your deeds," declares the LORD. 3.) ("Then I Myself will (F)gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them) and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. Vintage68 |
