Commentary on Jeremiah 23:29

Theological / Devotional

A fire. When the word of the Lord is expressed, it destroys the evil, purifies the good, and consumes as chaff the words of the false prophets (see Jer. 5:14; 20:9; Ps. 39:3; 1 Cor. 3:12, 13).

Like a hammer. Another graphic figure of speech (cf. Matt. 21:44; Heb. 4:12).
