Commentaries on Jeremiah 29:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32I will punish Shemaiah - He shall have no posterity to succeed him. His family, i.e., relations, etc., shall not be found among those whom I shall bring back from captivity. Nor shall he himself see the good that I shall do for my people. And all this shall come upon him and his because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord.

Nehelamite--a name derived either from his father or from a place: alluding at the same time to the Hebrew meaning, "a dreamer" (compare Jr 29:8).Read the comment
