エレミヤ書 31:1-6 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:3

The everlasting love of God. I. IN CONTRAST TO OTHER LOVERS . Note Jeremiah 30:14 , "All thy lovers have forgotten thee," etc. Israel had had many lovers professing regard and offering service; but what had their regard and service come to? They were now cold, careless, perhaps even hostile. They had shown the appearance of love to Israel, not that they cared for Israel, but because they themselves were advantaged. Now, that is no true affection which changes when the thing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:4

I will build thee. A nation, like a family, is frequently compared to a building (so Jeremiah 12:16 ; Jeremiah 24:6 ; comp. Ephesians 2:22 ). O virgin of Israel . The people of Israel is personified as a virgin (comp. Jeremiah 14:7 ). Adorned with thy tabrets, The expression will not, of course, bear to be logically criticized, for it was not the whole people who went out with "tabrets" or "timbrels," but the "damsels," who, it is true, formed an important part of religious... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:5

The mountains of Samaria. "Samaria" is used, equally with Ephraim, for the northern kingdom. Shall eat them as common things; rather, shall enjoy the fruit. The word, however, literally means shall profane them. The more common phrase, "shall eat the fruit," occurs in Isaiah 65:21 , where the same promise is given. The law was that newly planted fruit trees should be left alone for three years; that in the fourth year their fruit should be consecrated to God; and that in the fifth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:5

Work yet to be found in the vineyard. Here is to be an evidence of the everlasting love spoken of in Jeremiah 31:3 . I. THE RESTORATION OF WHAT HAD BEEN LOST . This is not the first prophecy in the book concerning vineyards. It had been declared that the nation from afar should eat up the vines and the fig trees of Israel ( Jeremiah 5:17 ). "I will surely consume, saith the Lord. There shall be no grapes on the vine" ( Jeremiah 8:13 ). The bright prophecy here could... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:6

The termination of the schism between north and south will be shown by the anxiety of the Ephraimites (see on "Samaria," Jeremiah 31:5 ) to take part with their brethren in the festival of the new moon. It was the custom, at any rate in later times, to station watchmen at elevated points to give notice of the first appearance of "the slender sickle, which shines so brightly in the clear Oriental heaven" Let us go up. Not with reference to the physical elevation of Jerusalem, for the phrase,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:6

The unity of the Church. Ephraim represented the ten tribes of Israel, and Jerusalem the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, the sections of the divided kingdom. In days to come this division was to be healed, as the "watchmen" or prophets of Israel would lead their people to the temple at Jerusalem. I. THE IMPORTANCE OF UNITY AMONGST GOD 'S PEOPLE IS SHOWN BY THE PROMINENCE GIVEN TO IT IN THIS PROPHECY . Dissension and strife between the followers of... read more
