John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:16

Verse 16 Interpreters have perverted this verse, for none of them have understood the design of the Prophet. The Jews, for the most part, have adduced frigid and far — fetched glosses, — that they would no more bring out to battles the Ark of the Covenant, as no enemy would invade their land. They think then that a peaceable state is promised to the people, as they would be constrained by no hostile force to carry the Ark of the Covenant here and there. But we clearly see that the words mean no... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:17

Verse 17 We now understand more clearly what I have already said, — that the Prophet promises here that there would be concord between the ten tribes and the kingdom of Judah, when both returned from exile; as though he had said, that their condition would be better than it ever had been; for the seed of Abraham had been torn as it were asunder; and the people whom God intended that they should continue in a holy union had become divided in the most shameful manner. We indeed know that there... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:18

Verse 18 Then is added, what is of the same meaning, In those days shall come the house of Judah with the house of Israel It hence appears, that the Prophet speaks of the posterity of Abraham and not of other nations; for he adds this verse as explanatory. It might, indeed, have been asked, “What does this mean, All nations shall come?” To this he answers, “The house of Israel shall unite with the house of Judah;” that is, there shall be no more hatred between these two nations, for they shall... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:12-19

Confession of sin the indispensable prerequisite for its pardon. That this is so is shown by the evident fact that if it could have been dispensed with it would have been. For the desire of God to pardon his guilty people is, as this section shows, intense. He will not cease to seek after them even when the punishment of their sin has actually come upon them. Hence ( Jeremiah 3:12 ) he addresses them in the lands of their exile, Mesopotamia, Assyria, and Media ( 2 Kings 17:6 ), and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:15

Pastors . In Jeremiah 23:4 , the same word is rendered in the Authorized Version "shepherds," which would he less open to misunderstanding here than "pastors," civil and not spiritual authorities being intended (see on Jeremiah 2:8 ). The prophecy is, of course, not inconsistent with passages like Jeremiah 23:5 , but as the national continuance of Israel was guaranteed, it was natural to refer to the subordinate civil authorities. According to mine heart ; better, according to my... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:15

God will provide pastors according to his own heart. I. THE NEED SO EMPHATICALLY IMPLIED THAT SUCH PASTORS SHOULD BE GIVEN . The shepherd's occupation, it need hardly be said, is one that comes up again and again in the Scriptures, both in the literal sense of the word and the figurative one. And even in the literal occupation there was, doubtless, often need of men who could be described as shepherds after God's own heart. Every shepherd who was faithful,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

When ye be multiplied ; a common feature in pictures of the latter days ( Jeremiah 23:3 ; Ezekiel 36:11 ; Hosea 2:1 ). They shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord. A definition of the Messianic period on its negative side—the ark shall he no longer the center of religious worship. We must remember that the ark is represented in the Law as the throne of Jehovah, who was "enthroned upon the cherubim" on the lid of the ark. It is in virtue of this sacramental presence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

The superseding of the ark. Along with the denunciations and painful descriptions which Jehovah has put into the mouth of the prophet, there now begins to be mingled a gracious, evangelical element. God's severest condemnations are meant to pave the way for return, repentance, reconciliation, and a reception of still more abundant gifts than before. Far and wide Israel has been scattered, but scattered only to be brought together again. Though there be but one in a city and two in a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

Supercession of external religious ordinances and institutions. This is because of the necessarily temporary nature of these, and the spirituality to which they are intended to minister, and which subsequently they may hinder. I. THE TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD IS SPIRITUAL . It is not to bow before an altar or an ark that God calls us to his temple, but to see himself face to face, to discover our need of him, and to delight in his presence. Nor is this communion to be... read more
