This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_16:2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
Ver. 2. Thou shalt not take thee a wife, &c.] It is very likely that this befell the prophet in a vision. Or, if otherwise, it was but for a sign, and in regard of the great calamity impendent, that he is here forbidden marriage, otherwise lawful enough, and in some cases necessary. The contrary doctrine (such as was that of the Tatian heretics and Popish canonists) is a doctrine of devils. {1Ti_4:1}
