The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:41

God rejoicing. I. GOD HAS JOY . He is not indifferent, nor is he morose; we are to think of him as the "blessed" God, i.e. as essentially happy. The brightness and beauty of the world are reflections from the blessedness of God. Because he is glad, nature is glad, flowers bloom, birds sing, young creatures bound with delight. Nothing is more sad in perversions of religion than the representations of God as a gloomy tyrant. Less terrible, but scarcely less false, are those monkish... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:42

Like as I have brought, etc. The prophet still has in his mind the thought expressed in Jeremiah 31:28 , that the brighter part of his revelations must as surely be accomplished as the darker. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:42

The ratio of sorrow and joy. I. THERE IS SUCH RATIO . Sorrow and joy are not flung down at haphazard into this world at the caprice of the Ruler of all, and irrespective one of the other, only that for the mass of men the sorrow is far greater and more pervading than the joy. But the relations between these two it is the glory of Scripture and of the gospel especially to reveal. II. SCRIPTURE TEACHES IT . Here in this verse; cf. also Psalms 90:1-17 ; "Make us glad... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:42

Evil the measure of good. I. WITH REGARD TO CERTAINTY . Here is evil actually upon the city and country. Evil that has come, not in some inexplicable, unexpected way, but in correspondence with prophetic announcements, extending over a long time and frequently repeated. And now out of the very perceived certainty of this evil, God takes occasion to create ground of hope and encouragement for the people. He who without fail has sent chastisement for the disobedient will equally... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:43

Fields ; rather, land; the Hebrew has "the field," i.e. the open country (as Jeremiah 4:17 , etc.). We must then continue "in this country," and in Jeremiah 32:44 , "men shall buy lands." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:44

Subscribe evidences; rather, write (particulars of their purchase)in the deed (as Jeremiah 32:10 ). In the land of Benjamin, etc. The catalogue of the districts of the Jewish kingdom heightens the realistic effect (see on Jeremiah 17:26 ). Everywhere the old social system will be reproduced in its entirety. The land of Benjamin is mentioned first, on account of the property of Jeremiah at Anathoth. read more

The answer is divided into two parts;(a) Jeremiah 32:26-35, the sins of Judah are shown to be the cause of her punishment:(b) Jeremiah 32:36-44, this punishment was not for Judah’s destruction, but for her amendment.Jeremiah 32:28I will give - Or, I am giving.Jeremiah 32:30From their youth - God’s mighty deeds for Israel began in Egypt Jeremiah 32:20, and so did Israel’s sin.Jeremiah 32:34, Jeremiah 32:35These verses are repeated from Jeremiah 7:30-31, but with two important variations. Baal is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:40-44

Jeremiah 32:40-44. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them The Jewish covenant, even with respect to the ceremonial ordinances contained in it, is sometimes called an everlasting covenant; see Genesis 17:13; Leviticus 24:8; Isaiah 24:5; because those ordinances were to continue for a long succession of ages; but when this expression is applied to the gospel covenant, there is a peculiar emphasis contained in it, implying that it should never be abolished, or give way to any... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:16-44

God reassures Jeremiah (32:16-44)After buying the field, Jeremiah began to have doubts. It seemed to him almost too much to expect that God could allow such a worthless people ever to return to their land. He therefore prayed to God (16), seeking to reassure himself that nothing is too hard for a God who is so loving and powerful (17-19). He reminds God of his steadfast faithfulness and miraculous power, which had saved his people in the past (20-22). But the people have been disobedient and... read more
