Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 32:18

Recompensest - The recompence is placed in the bosom, because, in the East, the garments are so arranged as to form a pocket there. Thus then, men must receive and carry with them God’s requital for their deeds. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:16-22

Jeremiah 32:16-22. When I had delivered the evidence, I prayed unto the Lord What he prayed for we learn in the following verses: by which it appears that he was not without some doubts and perplexities in this business. And though he yielded a ready and absolute obedience to God’s command, yet he prays for a clearer revelation of his meaning in the matter. Saying, Ah Lord God! &c. He begins his prayer with an acknowledgment of God’s infinite power, made manifest in his works, both of... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:16

We have no patience at all with commentators who suggest that this prayer has been expanded with additions by "editors." Ridiculous! This is one of the greatest prayers ever uttered; and there is a tact and delicacy about it that are commendable beyond words!Jeremiah simply could not understand why, under the circumstances, God had ordered him to buy the field. Therefore, he went to his knees and laid the whole problem before the Lord. Inherent in such an action was the silent pleading for God... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:18

Jeremiah 32:18. And recompensest the iniquity of the fathers— This passage is easily reconciled with the 29th and following verses of the former chapter, by remembering that the prophet is here speaking of the old, and there of the new covenant. See the notes on that passage. read more
