Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - Speak, Thus saith the Lord. These words are in three important respects contrary to the style of Jeremiah: (1) such a prefix as "speak" is unique; (2). such a phrase as כה נאם is also unique m Jeremiah; (3) when our prophet does use the formula נאם it is not at the beginning of a verse. . . .

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Speak, Thus saith the Lord.--The abrupt opening indicates a new prediction, coming to him unbidden, which he is constrained to utter as a message from Jehovah.As the handful.--The reaper gathered into swathes, or small sheaves, what he could hold in his left hand, as he went on cutting with his sickle. These he threw down as they became too big to hold, and they were left strewn on the field till he returned to gather them up into larger sheaves. So should the bodies of the dead be strewn, the prophet says, on the open field, but there should be none to take them up and bury them.
