This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_4:19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Ver. 19. My bowels, my bowels!] So, "My head, my head"; {2Ki_4:19} "My leanness, my leanness." {Isa_24:16} Thus the prophet here, to express his inexpressible grief for the calamities of his people.
I am pained.] As a woman in travail; Doleo instar parturientis.
At the very heart.] Heb., At the walls of my heart; scil., to see, in spirit, the city walls surprised.
My heart maketh a noise in me.] Saltitat et palpitat, ut in pavidis et perculsis fieri solet, leaps and throbs.
I cannot hold my peace.] Heb., I will not.
Because thou hast heard,] i.e., I have heard in the spirit, and am affected with it, as if already come.
