Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:5

Will he reserve his anger for ever? - Why should not wrath be continued against thee, as thou continuest transgression against the Lord? read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6

The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king - This is a new discourse, and is supposed to have been delivered after the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah. Here the prophet shows the people of Judah the transgressions, idolatry, obstinacy, and punishment of their brethren, the ten tribes, whom he calls to return to the Lord, with the most gracious promises of restoration to their own country, their reunion with their brethren of Judah, and every degree of prosperity in... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:2

Verse 2 As the Prophet had charged the Jews with being wanton in a loose and promiscuous manner, as it is the case with abandoned women, after having cast away all shame, that they might not evade the charge and object, that they were not conscious of any crime, he makes them in a manner the judges themselves, Raise up, he says, thine eyes to the high places and see; that is, “I bring forward witnesses sufficiently known to thee; there is no hill in the land where thou hast not been connected... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:3

Verse 3 Jeremiah proceeds with his severe reproof, — that the Jews were wholly given to wickedness, for they had altogether devoted themselves to superstitions, and also to unlawful alliances, and had in both instances despised God. He now shews how great and how strong was their obstinacy. Restrained, he says, have been the rains, there has not been the latter rain; yet the front of a harlot has been thine; as though he had said, that the Jews had not in any degree been subdued by punishment.... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:4

Verse 4 God, after having set forth the wickedness of his people, and severely reproved them as they deserved, now kindly invites them to repentance, Wilt thou not say to me hereafter, he says, My Father! Some incorrectly render the words, “Wilt thou say to me, My Father,” as though God would reject what they said: and they give the meaning, — that the Jews would act dishonestly in thus glorying in God’s name, from whom they were so alienated. But very different is the meaning of the Prophet:... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:5

Verse 5 God shews that it was the fault of the Jews, that he did not receive them into favor. And here he takes the argument from his own nature, and speaks of himself in the third person; and it is the same as though the Prophet had interposed this reasoning, “God is not inexorable, for he is as ready to forgive as he is long — suffering: now, then, what prevents you from living happily again under his government? for he will spare you, provided he finds in you genuine repentance.” We now then... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6

Verse 6 Here the Prophet enters on a new discourse: he relates what God had committed to him, and mentions the time, even in the reign of Josiah. It is indeed well known, that the land was then cleansed from superstitions; for that pious king labored to restore the true worship of God, and to remove all the filth and defilements, by which the temple and the whole of religion had been corrupted. He strenuously exerted himself, and no doubt there was an improved appearance of religion throughout... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-5

Sin Law Grace. We have here represented to as— I. SIN IN ITS MOST AWFUL FORM . It was the sin of idolatry . This was especially grievous in the sight of God, since Israel was designed to give light to all other nations. They were raised up for the very purpose that through them the knowledge of God might flow forth to the whole world. The destinies of humanity depended on them. Hence if the light that was in them were darkness, "how great," etc.! Their corruption was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:2

Lift up thine eyes , etc. No superficial reformation can be called "returning to Jehovah." The prophet, therefore, holds up the mirror to the sinful practices which a sincere repentance must extinguish. The high places ; rather, the bare hills (comp. on Jeremiah 2:20 ). In the ways hast thou sat for them. By the roadside (comp. Genesis 38:14 ; Proverbs 7:12 ). As the Arabian in the wilderness . So early was the reputation of the Bedouin already won (comp. 6:1-40 .). Jerome ad... read more
