Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 23:9

9 ¶ Mine heart within me is broken, because of the prophets, all my bones shake : I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of the LORD , and because of the words of his holiness .

The Prophet having denounced the Wrath of God against the wicked Rulers of Iudah under the Notion of Pastors, cometh here to discharge the like trust with reference to those orders of Persons amongst the Iews, whose office it was, or at least who took upon them to Reveal the Mind and Will of God to people, and who were upon that account called Prophets, for these he declares a great passion and trouble; either for their sake in prospect of that Vengeance of God which he saw was like to be poured out upon them, or for the Peoples sake who had been deceived by their unfaithful Revelations of the Divine Will, and led into wickedness by their vile Examples. For this he saith his heart was broken, his bones shaked.

And he was even astonished and stupified, and like a drunken man he knew not what he did; he was so stricken at the apprehensions of the Wrath of the Lord ready to be revealed against them.

And to consider what words the holy God had put into his mouth, to speak against them.
