John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:9

They shall come with weeping ,.... For joy, as Kimchi and Ben Melech observe; of which there are instances, Genesis 29:11 ; so the Jews will come to Christ, and to the Gospel church, as well as into their own land, with joy that they have found the Messiah, and are brought under his government, and into the enjoyment of the privileges of the Gospel, and the possession of their own land; or with tears of repentance for all their sins, original and actual, especially for their sin of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:10

Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations ,.... The Gentiles: who are called upon to hear the word of the Gospel; the word of peace, reconciliation, and salvation by Christ, sent among them by him, for the calling and conversion of them, that they might believe in him, and profess his name: and declare it in the isles afar off ; having heard, received, and embraced the Gospel themselves, it became them to make it known to others; not only to those upon the continent and the isles... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:11

For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob ,.... Not the patriarch Jacob singly and personally, though he no doubt was a redeemed one; nor his carnal posterity, at least not all of them, only a remnant among them, and especially not them only; but the Gentiles also, even all the elect of God, his church and people, of whatsoever nation, which frequently go by this name in the prophetic writings: and this redemption of them by Christ, which, though future, is spoken of as past, because of the certainty... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:12

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion ,.... The Targum is, "in the mountain of the house of the sanctuary, which is built on Zion;' but though there be an allusion to the temple built on it, and which may be called the height of it; yet the church of Christ in Gospel times is meant; the city built on a hill, where the saints, enjoying Gospel ordinances, dwell on high, and have all suitable provisions made for them; and here being come freely and willingly, though... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:1

At the same time - This discourse was delivered at the same time with the former; and, with that, constitutes the Book which God ordered the prophet to write. Will I be the God of all the families of Israel - I shall bring back the ten tribes, as well as their brethren the Jews.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:3

I have loved thee with an everlasting love - אהבתיך עולם ואהבת veahabath olam ahabtich , "and with the old love I have loved thee." "Also, with a love of long standing have I loved thee." - Blayney. "But I love thee always." - Dahler. I still bear to the Jewish people that love which I showed to their fathers in Egypt, in the wilderness, and in the promised land. Can it be supposed, by any person seriously considering the context, that these words are spoken of God's decree of election... read more

O virgin of Israel - Israelites in general; now called virgin, because restored to their ancient purity. With thy tabrets - Women in general played on these; they were used in times of rejoicing, and accompanied with dancing. To these customs, still preserved, the prophet alludes. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:5

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria - This was the regal city of the Israelites, as Jerusalem was of the Jews. Shall eat them as common things - By the law of Moses no man was permitted to eat of the fruit of his vineyard till the fifth year after planting. For the first three years it was considered uncircumcised, unclean, not fit to be eaten; in the fourth year it was holy to the Lord, the fruit belonged to Him; in the fifth year he might use it for himself, ... read more
