エレミヤ書 31:23-32 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:18-26

We have here, I. Ephraim's repentance, and return to God. Not only Judah, but Ephraim the ten tribes, shall be restored, and therefore shall thus be prepared and qualified for it, Hos. 14:8. Ephraim shall say, What have I do to any more with idols? Ephraim the people, is here spoken of as a single person to denote their unanimity; they shall be as one man in their repentance and shall glorify God in it with one mind and one mouth, one and all. It is likewise thus expressed that it might be the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:27-34

The prophet, having found his sleep sweet, made so by the revelations of divine grace, sets himself to sleep again, in hopes of further discoveries, and is not disappointed; for it is here further promised, I. That the people of God shall become both numerous and prosperous. Israel and Judah shall be replenished both with men and cattle, as if they were sown with the seed of both, Jer. 31:27. They shall increase and multiply like a field sown with corn; and this is the product of God's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:23

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ,.... The Governor of the whole world, the Lord of armies above and below; and yet has a peculiar regard to Israel, his spiritual Israel, whose covenant God and Father he is; and is to be believed in what he after says, the fulfilment of which may be depended on: as yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity ; not the Babylonish captivity, but their present one;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:24

And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together ,.... In peace and unity, in great concord and harmony: husbandmen, and those that go forth with flocks ; husbandmen and shepherds; meaning such not merely in a temporal sense, but in a spiritual one; ministers of the Gospel, labourers with God, and under him, in the husbandry of his church; pastors after his own heart, to feed his people, his flocks, his sheep and lambs, with knowledge and understanding; who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:25

For I have satiated the weary soul ,.... As sinners are at first awakenings and convictions; when sin is made exceeding sinful and loathsome to them, and becomes an uneasiness, and they a burden to themselves on account of it; when they labour, till they are weary, to get food for their famishing souls; weary in seeking for righteousness to cover them, in working for life to save them, and inquiring after rest; but cannot find neither food, nor righteousness, nor life, nor rest, till they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:26

Upon this I awakened, and beheld ,.... When or after he beheld or had seen the vision and prophecy concerning the incarnation of Christ, and the glory and happiness of his church and people in the latter day, he awoke; for it seems the prophecy contained in this and the preceding chapter was delivered to Jeremiah in a dream; who, when he had seen the vision, and upon the last words being spoken to him, awoke out of it: and my sleep was sweet unto me ; as it must needs be, to have so many... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:27

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or, "are coming" F11 באים "venientes", Montanus, Schmidt; "venturi sunt", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; and will be here shortly: that I will sow the house of Israel, and the house of Judah, with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast ; that is, will multiply both man and beast, so that there shall be a great increase; whereas, through war, famine, pestilence, and captivity, their number was greatly reduced. The allusion is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:28

And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them ,.... In providence; looked upon them with an eye of vindictive justice; observed all their actions and motions; diligently attended to everything that passed, and took the first and most fitting opportunity: to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict ; which words, as they have an elegance and an agreeableness in their sound, in the original; so they are expressive of the utter... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:29

In those days they shall say no more ,.... The following proverb or byword; they should have no occasion to use it, nor should they choose to use it; since they would understand themselves, and the dispensations of Providence towards them, better than to use it: the fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge ; that is, the fathers have sinned, and the children are punished for their sins. So the Targum, "the fathers have sinned, and the children are... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:30

But everyone shall die for his own iniquity ,.... His own personal iniquity; and not a corporeal death only, but an eternal one, which is the just wages of sin. It seems to intimate, that, after the Babylonish captivity, no public calamity should come upon them for the sins of their fathers and their own jointly, but for their own iniquities singly; so their last destruction by the Romans was for their personal disbelief and rejection of the Messiah; see John 8:24 ; and the calamities upon... read more
