Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(33) They have turned unto me the back . . .--It will be remembered that this image was more or less a favourite one with the prophet. (See Notes on Jeremiah 2:27; Jeremiah 7:24.) The same holds good of the "rising up early." (See Notes on Jeremiah 7:13; Jeremiah 7:25.)Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThey have turnedוַיִּפְנ֥וּ (way·yip̄·nū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 6437: To turn, to face, appear, looktheir backsעֹ֖רֶף (‘ō·rep̄)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6203: The nape, back of the neck, the backtoאֵלַ֛י (’ê·lay)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toMe and notוְלֹ֣א (wə·lō)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, notheir faces.פָנִ֑ים (p̄ā·nîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 6440: The faceThough I taughtוְלַמֵּ֤ד (wə·lam·mêḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 3925: To exercise in, learnthemאֹתָם֙ (’ō·ṯām)Direct object marker | third person masculine pluralStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative caseagain and again,הַשְׁכֵּ֣ם (haš·kêm)Verb - Hifil - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 7925: To load up, to start early in the morningthey would notוְאֵינָ֥ם (wə·’ê·nām)Conjunctive waw | Adverb | third person masculine pluralStrong's 369: A non-entity, a negative particlelistenשֹׁמְעִ֖ים (šō·mə·‘îm)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlyor respondלָקַ֥חַת (lā·qa·ḥaṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 3947: To taketo discipline.מוּסָֽר׃ (mū·sār)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4148: Chastisement, reproof, warning, instruction, restraintJump to PreviousAccept Backs Betimes Discipline Early Ears Face Faces Getting Hearkened Hearkening Instruction Neck Often Open Persistently Receive Respond Rising Taught Teacher Teaching Turn Turned Turning
