Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-34

27-34 The people of God shall become numerous and prosperous. In Hebrews 8:8; Hebrews 8:9, this place is quoted as the sum of the covenant of grace made with believers in Jesus Christ. Not, I will give them a new law; for Christ came not to destroy the law, but to fulfil it; but the law shall be written in their hearts by the finger of the Spirit, as formerly written in the tables of stone. The Lord will, by his grace, make his people willing people in the day of his power. All shall know the... read more

The New Life and The New Covenant v. 27. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah, the congregation of true believers in Him, with the seed of man and with the seed of beast, with great spiritual blessings, as a field of exceeding fruitfulness. v. 28.

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

Sub-Part B. The Coming Days Will Introduce A Completely New Type Of Covenant Provided By YHWH, One That Is Written In The Heart And Will Thus Result In Changed Lives (Jeremiah 31:23-40 ). This sub-part commences with the words, ‘Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel,’ and a feature of it is the phrase ‘the days are coming, says YHWH, when --’ (Jeremiah 31:27; Jeremiah 31:31; Jeremiah 31:38), with its emphasis being on the glorious future. We may analyse it as follows: · The fortunes of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-40

The Threefold Predictions Concerning ‘The Days That Are Coming’ (Jeremiah 31:27-40 ). We now come to a threefold prediction concerning the coming days, backed up by absolute assurances of their fulfilment. · The days are coming when the people of Israel and Judah will be firmly established in the land, with full responsibility for their own individual behaviour (Jeremiah 31:27-30). · The days are coming when YHWH will make with them a new and better covenant, a covenant written in their... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:31-34

In Coming Days YHWH Will Make A New Covenant With His People, A Covenant Written In Their Hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-34 ). A covenant is an agreement made between two or more parties which is binding on both. God’s covenant is an example of a covenant which is instituted by one party to the agreement as the result of the giving of a benefit, to which the other parties, who have received the benefit, are then bound to comply. But the state of Judah at this time was such that it was clear that the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:31-34

Jeremiah 31:31-Nahum : . The prophecy of the “ New Covenant,” contained in these verses, may have been written in 586, when the destruction of Jerusalem had suggested that the “ Old Covenant” was cancelled. The Jeremianic authorship of this most important passage has been firmly established by Cornill’ s arguments against the criticisms of Duhm and others. Yahweh is about to establish the national religion on a new basis. When He led the Israelites out of Egypt ( Hosea 11:1-Numbers :), He... read more
