エレミヤ書 31:1-19 JC

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:18

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus ,.... Not Ephraim in person; though, as he was a very affectionate and tenderhearted man, as appears from 1 Chronicles 7:22 ; he is with like propriety introduced, as Rachel before; but Ephraim intends Israel, or the ten tribes, and even all the people of the Jews; and the prophecy seems to respect the conversion of them in the latter day, when they shall be in soul trouble, and bemoan their sins, and their sinful and wretched estate,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:19

Surely after that I was turned I repented ,.... Ephraim's prayer was answered; as he prayed he might be turned, he was; and when he was turned, then he repented, not only of sin in general, but of such sins as he had been particularly guilty of; not only of the grosser actions of life, but of inward sins, secret lusts and corruptions; even of sins of holy things, having now different sentiments, affections, and conduct: and this is what is called evangelical repentance, and is from the grace... 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. The restoration of the Israelites is the principal subject of this chapter. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:2

The people which were left of the sword - Those of the ten tribes that had escaped death by the sword of the Assyrians. Found grace in the wilderness - The place of their exile; a wilderness, compared to their own land. - Dahler. See Isaiah 40:3 ; read more

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:4

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

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:6

For there shall be a day - Literally, for this is the day, or the day is come. The watchmen - the prophets. Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion - Let both Israelites and Jews join together in the worship of the Lord. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:7

The chief of the nations - The same as Jacob or Israel; for most certainly this people was once the most honorable on the face of the earth. O Lord, save thy people - Let the Jews earnestly intercede in behalf of their Israelitish brethren; or let them rejoice and praise the Lord, who hath saved the remnant of Israel. So Dr. Blayney thinks the clause should be understood. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:8

I will bring them from the north country - From Babylon. From the coasts of the earth - The ten tribes were carried away partly into Assyria by Tiglath-pileser, and partly into Mesopotamia and Media by Shalmaneser, 2 Kings 15:29 ; 2 Kings 17:6 . Assyria and Media, being very distant from Palestine, might have been called, in prophetic language, the coasts of the earth. The blind and the lame - I will so effectually remove all difficulties out of the way, so provide for them on... read more
