Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-5

7CHAPTER IITHE TRUST IN THE SHADOW OF EGYPTJeremiah 2:1-37; Jeremiah 3:1-5THE first of the prophet’s public addresses is, in fact, a sermon which proceeds from an exposure of national sin to the menace of coming judgment. It falls naturally into three sections, of which the first {Jeremiah 2:1-13} sets forth Iahvah’s tender love to His young bride Israel in the old times of nomadic life, when faithfulness to Him was rewarded by protection from all external foes; and then passes on to denounce... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-25

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 3:1-25

Contending Emotions Jeremiah 3:0 We often speak about contending emotions. We do not know certainly whether the love or the wrath will overcome at the last. We burn with anger, and then we are melted with pity; we denounce and repel, and then in some sudden inspiration not human we hold out the sceptre and bid the alien return. We need not go beyond the range of our own consciousness to verify all this marvellous play of emotion. We are not the same in the evening we were in the morning:... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 3:5

Making, Destroying, and Saving Man Genesis 1:26 ; Genesis 6:7 ; Jeremiah 3:5 ; Luk 19:10 If you could bring together into one view all the words of God expressive of his purposes concerning man, you would be struck with the changefulness which seems to hold his mind in continual uncertainty. He will destroy, yet the blow never falls; he will listen to man no more, yet he speeds to him in the day of trouble and fear; he will make an utter end, yet he saves Noah from the flood, and plucks Lot as... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 3:4-5

This is a most beautiful and gracious observation of the Lord's, to show, what might be reasonably expected, from the overwhelming kindness of the Lord. When grace becomes more abundant, it overpowers our sin, disarms the sinner, and constrains him, as the Prodigal in the parable, to return to his Father. Luke 15:17-19 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:1-5

1-5 In repentance, it is good to think upon the sins of which we have been guilty, and the places and companies where they have been committed. How gently the Lord had corrected them! In receiving penitents, he is God, and not man. Whatever thou hast said or done hitherto, wilt thou not from this time apply to me? Will not this grace of God overcome thee? Now pardon is proclaimed, wilt thou not take the benefit? They will hope to find in him the tender compassions of a Father towards a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 3:1-5

The Possibility of Return v. 1. They say, literally, "Saying," God Himself being the subject of the sentence. If a man put away his wife, and she go from him and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Such dismissals were sometimes practiced among the Jews, but it was then unlawful for a man to take back his former wife, Deuteronomy 24:1-Numbers :. Shall not that land be greatly polluted? on account of the abomination connected with such practices. But thou hast played the... read more
