Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:40-44

Jeremiah 32:40-44. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them The Jewish covenant, even with respect to the ceremonial ordinances contained in it, is sometimes called an everlasting covenant; see Genesis 17:13; Leviticus 24:8; Isaiah 24:5; because those ordinances were to continue for a long succession of ages; but when this expression is applied to the gospel covenant, there is a peculiar emphasis contained in it, implying that it should never be abolished, or give way to any... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:16-44

God reassures Jeremiah (32:16-44)After buying the field, Jeremiah began to have doubts. It seemed to him almost too much to expect that God could allow such a worthless people ever to return to their land. He therefore prayed to God (16), seeking to reassure himself that nothing is too hard for a God who is so loving and powerful (17-19). He reminds God of his steadfast faithfulness and miraculous power, which had saved his people in the past (20-22). But the people have been disobedient and... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 32:38-40

He would reestablish a covenant relationship with them, give them all a faithful heart, and they would then always fear Him (cf. Jeremiah 31:31-34). The result would be blessing for them and for their descendants. His (new) covenant with them would be everlasting, a promise not mentioned in the New Covenant passage in the preceding chapter (cf. Ezekiel 36:24-32). He would always do them good, and they would always reverence Him, not just know Him (Jeremiah 31:34). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-44

This chapter forms the introduction to the most continuously historical part of the book, which describes incidents in the two years preceding the final destruction of Jerusalem, viz. chs.34-43. The first of these incidents is here given, viz. Jeremiah’s purchase with all legal formality of a field of which he had the right of redemption, in order to encourage the people while the Chaldeans were investing the city by showing thus his faith in the return which he foretells in these chs.1-5. The... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:40

(40) I will make an everlasting covenant . . .—The “covenant” thus promised is, it must be remembered, identical with that of Jeremiah 31:31—the “new covenant,” which shall never wax old and decay, but shall abide for ever. “My fear” is identical with “the fear of the Lord,” which is “the beginning of wisdom.” The curse of Israel had been that they had been without that fear to restrain them from evil, and that the mere dread of punishment had proved powerless to supply its place. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Evidences Sealed and Evidences Open Jeremiah 32:14 The placing of the deeds in an earthen vessel or vase was of course peculiar to this case. It was intended to preserve them from damp and decay in their secret hiding-place during the long years of the captivity, as Jerusalem ere many months would be destroyed by the King of Babylon. I. Consider this mode of the authentication of purchase of property as an illustration of one of the evidences of the truth of the Word of God. One of the great... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

CHAPTER XXXIVRESTORATION VREVIEWJeremiah 30:1-24; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Jeremiah 32:1-44; Jeremiah 33:1-26IN reviewing these chapters we must be careful not to suppose that Jeremiah knew all that would ultimately result from his teaching. When he declared that the conditions of the New Covenant would be written, not in a few parchments, but on every heart, he laid down a principle which involved the most characteristic teaching of the New Testament and the Reformers, and which might seem to justify... read more
