Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 23:7-8

Jeremiah 23:7-8. Therefore, behold, &c.— See ch. Jeremiah 16:14. "One proverb shall give way to another, when the greater deliverance shall put the less out of remembrance. This wonderful work of God, in restoring the Jewish nation after their dispersion in every part of the world, will so far exceed the miracles which he wrought in their deliverance out of Egypt, that the latter will not deserve to be mentioned with the former." St. Paul calls this restoration of the Jews life from the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 23:7

7, 8. Repeated from Jeremiah 16:14; Jeremiah 16:15. The prophet said the same things often, in order that his sayings might make the more impression. The same promise as in Jeremiah 23:3; Jeremiah 23:4. The wide dispersion of the Jews at the Babylonish captivity prefigures their present wider dispersion (Isaiah 11:11; Joel 3:6). Their second deliverance is to exceed far the former one from Egypt. But the deliverance from Babylon was inferior to that from Egypt in respect to the miracles... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 23:1-8

Promises about the future of the Davidic line and the people 23:1-8"After the oracles against wicked kings, there is a promise of a righteous one, the Shoot of David." [Note: Graybill, p. 673.] Jeremiah just announced that none of Coniah’s descendants would ever rule as kings. Now he went on to clarify that a Davidic King would rule in the future. God was not cutting off the Davidic line (cf. 2 Samuel 7:14). This section consists of three separate, though related, prophecies (Jeremiah 23:1-8). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 23:7-8

In those coming days (cf. Jeremiah 23:5), people would no longer talk about the mighty deliverance that Yahweh gave His people when He brought them out of Egypt into the Promised Land (cf. Jeremiah 16:14-15). Instead they would talk about the greater deliverance that He gave them when He brought them out of many countries (cf. Jeremiah 23:3; Jeremiah 16:14-18) into the Promised Land (cf. Isaiah 11; Ezekiel 34; Ezekiel 37). Again, the promises are clearly eschatological. This will happen at... read more

Branch] rather, ’sprout,’ ’shoot,’ that which is immediately connected with the root, and contains, as it were, the springs of life. So in Jeremiah 33:15, and in later time Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 6:12. On the other hand, the word in Isaiah 11:1 denotes ’branch,’ properly so called. The v. predicts the coming of an ideal descendant of David, a king who... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 23:7

(7) The days come, saith the Lord.—See Notes on Jeremiah 16:14-15, of which the words are almost verbally a reproduction. There, however, stress is laid chiefly on the fact of the exile, here on that of the restoration. The LXX. version omits them here, but inserts them, where they are obviously out of place, at the end of the chapter. It was fitting that they should be repeated here, as connecting the hope that had before been general with the personal reign of the “Branch” of the house of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 23:1-40

The Lord Our Righteousness Jeremiah 23:6 I. You must have some righteousness, or you will not be saved. The Bible says plainly, 'The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God'; 'The righteous hath hope in his death'; 'Thy people,'says Isaiah, 'shall be all righteous'. Many often say they know they are not what they should be, but 'God is merciful '. Their religion goes no further; this is the first and last of all their Christianity. This will not stand before the Bible. God is a God of... read more
