Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - An example of the "treachery" referred to in Ver. 1; a conspiracy against Jeremiah in his own family. Have called a multitude after thee; rather, have called aloud after thee, as one raises a hue and cry after a thief.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Thy brethren.--It is not certain whether we are to think actually of the sons of the same father, or only of the men of Anathoth (Jeremiah 11:23), as belonging to the same section of the priesthood. The language of Jeremiah 9:5 favours the more literal rendering. In any case, it is interesting to note that the proverb which our Lord more than once quotes, "A prophet is not without honour save in his own country and in his own house" (Matthew 13:57; Luke 4:24; John 4:44), probably had its origin in the sad experience of Jeremiah.They have called a multitude after thee.--Better, have shouted a full shout (in our English phrase, "have raised a hue and cry") after thee. . . .
