Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:10-17

10-17 He that scattered Israel, knows where to find them. It is comfortable to observe the goodness of the Lord in the gifts of providence. But our souls are never valuable as gardens, unless watered with the dews of God's Spirit and grace. A precious promise follows, which will not have full accomplishment except in the heavenly Zion. Let them be satisfied of God's loving-kindness, and they will be satisfied with it, and desire no more to make them happy. Rachel is represented as rising from... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:1-40

Continuing, the Prophet dealt with the issues of restoration. He first described the restoration of the city. After affirming the ancient love of Jehovah for His people, he foretold the building of the city, and the planting of "vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria," proceeding to describe the return to the city and the country of the penitent people. He then turned to the surrounding nations, and declared to them the fact that Jehovah had ransomed and redeemed Jacob, foretold their... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:1-40

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In The Heart... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:7-14

YHWH Will Lead The Remnant Of Israel Back From Exile As A Father Does His Children And On The Height Of Zion They Will Rejoice In The Resulting Glorious Provision Of YHWH (Jeremiah 31:7-14 ). In striking contrast to the present state of the exiles we now have a glorious picture of restoration, but one that is then immediately and deliberately set in contrast to a flashback to the weeping figure of Rachel weeping over the condition of her children (Jeremiah 31:15). This is a reminder of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:7-14

Jeremiah 31:7-2 Chronicles : (suggestive of Deutero-Isaiah). Let there be joy that Yahweh hath saved His people, for He will gather all to Palestine (“ hither” , Jeremiah 31:8), and they will come penitently to the Divine provision made for their need ( Jeremiah 31:9 mg.; cf. Isaiah 49:10), made as for Yahweh’ s firstborn ( 1 Chronicles 5:1 f.). Let the nations make it known that Yahweh is the rescuing shepherd ( Isaiah 40:11) of Israel, which is now gathered to the good things (“ goodness”... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 31:11

Because of the certainty of Divine prophecies and promises, things in them are often said to be already done which are not to be fulfilled of many years after. The sense is, God will as certainly do it as if he had already done it; for whether it be understood of a deliverance from Babylon, or of the salvation of the gospel by Christ, which by a metaphor is often also called redeeming and ransoming, it was to be accomplished long after this time. By him that was stronger than he, some... read more
