The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:31-34

The new covenant. A prophecy which stands out from the rest of Jeremiah by its evangelical character, in which it strongly reminds us of parts of the second half of Isaiah. The doctrine of the covenant is "the thread which binds together the hopes and the fears of the prophet, his certainty of coming woe, his certainty of ultimate blessing." A covenant was granted of old, but that covenant had on man's side been broken. Still "the gifts and calling of God are not to be retracted" ( Romans... read more

The new covenant. I. THE GRANTING OF A NEW COVENANT . Hitherto the Messianic era with all its glories has been regarded as the development and perfection of earlier ages. Here, for the first time, it is revealed as the realization of an entirely new order. This is the first clear indication of the difference between the Law and the gospel which grew more distinct as the latter was better understood, till St. Paul accomplished his great work of finally severing the two. In these... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:31-34

The new covenant. Religion is only possible and of advantage as based upon an understanding between man and God. The perpetuation of the word covenant, in the New as well as in the Old Testament, shows how essential this idea is. And God's infinite mercy and royal condescension is shown in instituting a new covenant when the old was "ready to vanish away," I. AS RESULTING FROM THE OLD COVENANT . 1 . It was necessitated by past failure. The first covenant had been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:31-34

The new covenant. The consideration of this new covenant will enable us to understand how it is that, whilst many Christian men are at peace and content in regard to their justification before God and their acceptance with him, they are very far from content in regard to their attainment in Christian character and their ,practical sanctification. The reason is that, whilst they are content simply to look in faith to Christ for the former, they forget that this is precisely the condition of... read more

The new covenant add the old. I. THE LIGHT CAST ON THE OLD COVENANT . It would be a mistake to describe it as a covenant that failed. Paradoxical as the expression sounds, the very breaking of the covenant furnished the proof of its success. It made man's position clearer to him; it prepared the world for Christ. The old covenant had been broken in spite of all the teaching connected with it. "Know Jehovah" had been dinned into the ear, and doubtless many had a notion that... read more

Although I was an husband unto them . The translation of the Septuagint κἀγὼ ἠμέλησα αὐτῶν , is undoubtedly wrong, though adopted for consistency's sake by the author of Hebrews 8:9 . The phrase is the same as in Jeremiah 3:14 , where even the Septuagint has ἐγὼ κατακυριεύσω ὑμῶν read more

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.

Jeremiah 31:29-30. They shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, &c. “God had often declared that he would visit the sins of the fathers upon the children, and had particularly threatened to execute judgment upon the present generation for the idolatries and other sins of their forefathers. See note on Exodus 20:5, and chap. Jeremiah 15:4. This gave occasion to the proverb mentioned in this verse, which they that were in captivity applied to their own case, as if the... read more

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
