<p class="tab-1">The same melancholy theme is the subject of this chapter that was of those foregoing—the approaching ruin of Judah and Jerusalem for their sins. This Jeremiah had often foretold; here he has particularly full orders to foretel it again. I. He must set their sins in order before them, as he had often done, especially their idolatry, <a class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.4,Jer.19.5" href="/passage/?search=Jer.19.4,Jer.19.5"><span class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.4">Jer. 19:4</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.5">5</span></a>. II. He must describe the particular judgments which were now coming apace upon them for these sins, <a class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.6-Jer.19.9" href="/passage/?search=Jer.19.6-Jer.19.9">Jer. 19:6-9</a>. III. He must do this in the valley of Tophet, with great solemnity, and for some particular reasons, <a class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.2,Jer.19.3" href="/passage/?search=Jer.19.2,Jer.19.3"><span class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.2">Jer. 19:2</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.3">3</span></a>. IV. He must summon a company of the elders together to be witnesses of this, <a class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.1" href="/passage/?search=Jer.19.1">Jer. 19:1</a>. V. He must confirm this, and endeavour to affect his hearers with it, by a sign, which was the breaking of an earthen bottle, signifying that they should be dashed to pieces like a potters vessel, <a class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.10-Jer.19.13" href="/passage/?search=Jer.19.10-Jer.19.13">Jer. 19:10-13</a>. VI. When he had done this in the valley of Tophet he ratified it in the court of the temple, <a class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.14,Jer.19.15" href="/passage/?search=Jer.19.14,Jer.19.15"><span class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.14">Jer. 19:14</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Jer.19.15">15</span></a>. Thus were all likely means tried to awaken this stupid senseless people to repentance, that their ruin might be prevented; but all in vain.</p>
