Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) Void of counsel.--Literally, perishing in counsels, or, perhaps, spoiling the plans of Jehovah. Yet they said, "Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet" (Jeremiah 18:18).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewIsraelהֵ֑מָּה (hêm·māh)Pronoun - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1992: Theyis a nationג֛וֹי (ḡō·w)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1471: A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locustsdevoidאֹבַ֥ד (’ō·ḇaḏ)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular constructStrong's 6: To wander away, lose oneself, to perishof counselעֵצ֖וֹת (‘ê·ṣō·wṯ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6098: Advice, plan, prudencewith noוְאֵ֥ין (wə·’ên)Conjunctive waw | AdverbStrong's 369: A non-entity, a negative particleunderstandingתְּבוּנָֽה׃ (tə·ḇū·nāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 8394: Intelligence, an argument, capriceamong them.בָּהֶ֖ם (bā·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew Jump to PreviousCounsel Counsels Discernment Lacking Nation Sense Understanding Void Wisdom
