Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-34

The prophet shows that the happiness of Israel and Judah, united in one prosperous nation, will rest upon the consciousness that their chastisement has been the result of sins which they have themselves committed, and that God’s covenant depends not upon external sanctions, but upon a renewed heart.Jeremiah 31:27So rapid shall be the increase that it shall seem as if children and young cattle sprang up out of the ground.Jeremiah 31:29, Jeremiah 31:30A sour grape - Better, sour grapes. The idea... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:31-32

Jeremiah 31:31-32. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord The latter days, or the times of the gospel, are here intended, as is evident from the apostle’s applying the following promises to those times, and quoting this whole passage as a summary of the covenant of grace, Hebrews 8:8-10. I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah The benefits of this covenant were first offered to the Jews, as being the completion of that covenant which God had made with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:23-40

A new city and a new age (31:23-40)Jeremiah has a vision of Jerusalem as a city of righteousness and Judah as a land of contentment. It is a vision that gives him the satisfaction of a pleasant dream (23-26). God had been responsible for the devastation of their land in the past, but he will also be responsible for its productivity in the future (27-28). The people by then will have learnt the lessons of their captivity. They will no longer blame their forefathers for their misfortunes, but... read more

that I made. Reference to Pentateuch (Exodus 24:3-8 ). App-92 . I took them by the hand, &c. Reference to Pentateuch (Exodus 19:4 .Deuteronomy 1:31 ; Deuteronomy 32:11 , Deuteronomy 32:12 ). App-92 . although I was an husband unto them. The Hebrew ba'al is a Homonym with two meanings: (1) to be lord, or master, hence to be a husband; (2) to disdain, or reject. If it be the latter here, the last clause will read, "and I rejected (or abhorred)them, declareth Jehovah". So the Syriac... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:32

"Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah.""Which my covenant they brake ..." (Jeremiah 31:32). The significance of this is beyond all calculation. Israel did not merely strain the covenant, they broke it! Furthermore, there were not any of the promises of that covenant which were designed to be valid unless Israel... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 31:31-34

Jeremiah 31:31-34. Behold, the days come, &c.— The covenant here spoken of Jeremiah calls a new covenant; Jer 31:31 and what kind of covenant? Not such a one as was made with their fathers; Jeremiah 31:32. This was declarative enough of its nature; yet, to prevent mistakes, he gives as well a positive as a negative description of it. This shall be the covenant,—I will put my law in their inward parts, &c. Jer 31:33 that is to say, "This law shall be spiritual, as the other given to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:32

32. Not . . . the covenant that I made with . . . fathers—the Old Testament covenant, as contrasted with our gospel covenant (Hebrews 8:8-12; Hebrews 10:16; Hebrews 10:17, where this prophecy is quoted to prove the abrogation of the law by the gospel), of which the distinguishing features are its securing by an adequate atonement the forgiveness of sins, and by the inworking of effectual grace ensuring permanent obedience. An earnest of this is given partially in the present eclectic or elect... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 31:31-34

The New Covenant 31:31-34Many commentators believe that Jeremiah’s revelation of the New Covenant was his greatest theological contribution. They view it as the high point of the book, the climax of the prophet’s teaching."The prophecy of Jeremiah marks a watershed in Hebrew religious and cultic life. From this point onwards there is a significant divergence between what has obtained in the past and what will characterize the future religious observances of Israel." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah... read more
