I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Jeremiah 23, the LORD pronounces woe upon the pastors who scatter his sheep; and tells them that he will bring the evil of their doings upon them; and he will regather his flock and give them caring shepherds who will supply their needs (1-4). From the line of David the LORD will raise up a king called the BRANCH who will save Judah and Israel; he will be called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS; and the day will come when they will speak, not of their deliverance from Egypt but of their deliverance from the north country (5-8). Jeremiah responds with expressions of horror because the land is filled with adulterers, liars, and profane and wicked prophets and priests; their paths will be slippery and dark, and they will be driven into the year of their visitation (9-12). The LORD has seen the folly of their Baal worship, their adultery, their lies, their help of evildoers, and their unrepentant ways; so they will be like Sodom and Gomorrah to him and be fed with wormwood and gall because of their profaneness (13-15). The LORD warns the people not to listen to the prophets because they confirm the people in their evil and prophesy lies of peace to those who walk after the imagination of their own heart, telling them that no evil will come upon them (16-17). The LORD then asks who is listening, because a whirlwind of the LORD's fury will fall grievously on the head of the wicked and will not return until it accomplishes his will (18-20). The LORD says he did not send the prophets who speak in his name but do neither stand in his counsel nor speak his words,but instead cause others to continue in their evil ways and their evil deeds (21-22). God says that none can hide from him because he is a God who is near and fills heaven and earth; he has heard the lies of the prophets who try to cause his people to forget his name by recounting their dreams; they will be like chaff; the LORD will be like fire; the LORD will be like a hammer that breaks the rock; and he will be against those who steal his words from his people with lies (23-32). The LORD tells Jeremiah that when the people or the prophet ask to hear the burden or the word of the LORD, Jeremiah shall tell them that their own words will be their burden because they have perverted God's words; so God will forget them and cast them out of his presence and bring upon them an everlasting reproach and a perpetual shame which will not be forgotten (33-40).

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
