Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Jeremiah 19:1-9
By the type of breaking an earthen vessel, Jeremiah is to predict the destruction of Judah. Verses 1-9 The prophet must give notice of ruin coming upon Judah and Jerusalem. Both rulers and ruled must attend to it. That place which holiness made the joy of the whole earth, sin made the reproach and shame of the whole earth. There is no fleeing from God's justice, but by fleeing to his mercy.
