Jer. 9:1 Jeremiah is often called the “weeping prophet” based on this verse, but this nickname does not do justice to his overall ministry. He cares deeply for Judah, but he does much more than weep.
Jer. 9:2 Despite his compassion, Jeremiah understands the people are all adulterers and treacherous men. They swear covenant faithfulness but sin against God and neighbor. He wishes to flee from them.
Jer. 9:3 The Israelites have no saving knowledge of God (2:8; 8:7; see Judg. 2:10; Hos. 4:6; John 1:10; 14:17; 16:3; 1 John 2:3).
Jer. 9:12–14 The wise man knows the land is ruined because the people of Judah have forsaken God’s law, followed their own hearts, and followed their fathers in worshiping Baal (see 2:23).
Jer. 9:15 Bitter food . . . poisonous water refer to both bitter hearts that prefer disobedience (Deut. 29:18) and bitter experiences related to defeat (Lam. 3:15, 19).
Jer. 9:23–24 The truly wise man (4:22; 8:8–9; 9:12–14) learns what God teaches. He knows why Judah will fall and is grieved and humbled by that knowledge. Thus, he will not boast in his wisdom. Knowing God means knowing his steadfast love (covenant faithfulness), justice (right judgment), and righteousness (right behavior, especially in keeping his promises). See Ex. 34:6–7; Ps. 103:8; Joel 2:12–14; Jonah 3:9–4:2. let him who boasts boast in this. Compare 1 Cor. 1:31; 2 Cor. 10:17.
Jer. 9:25–26 In coming days God will punish all people who are uncircumcised in heart (see 4:3–4).
