耶利米书 3:5 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-5

These verses some make to belong to the sermon in the foregoing chapter, and they open a door of hope to those who receive the conviction of the reproofs we had there; God wounds that he may heal. Now observe here, I. How basely this people had forsaken God and gone a whoring from him. The charge runs very high here. 1. They had multiplied their idols and their idolatries. To have admitted one strange God among them would have been bad enough, but they were insatiable in their lustings after... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:5

Will he reserve his anger for ever ?.... These words may be considered as a continuation of the speech put into their mouths to make to the Lord and plead with him, as well as what follows: will he keep it to the end ? that is, his anger: no; he will not: this is not according to the nature of God; he retains not his anger for ever, Micah 7:18 , though, according to some versions, this is to be understood of the sins of these people being reserved and kept forever, as their impudence... read more

Will he reserve his anger for ever? - Why should not wrath be continued against thee, as thou continuest transgression against the Lord? read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:5

Verse 5 God shews that it was the fault of the Jews, that he did not receive them into favor. And here he takes the argument from his own nature, and speaks of himself in the third person; and it is the same as though the Prophet had interposed this reasoning, “God is not inexorable, for he is as ready to forgive as he is long — suffering: now, then, what prevents you from living happily again under his government? for he will spare you, provided he finds in you genuine repentance.” We now then... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-5

Sin Law Grace. We have here represented to as— I. SIN IN ITS MOST AWFUL FORM . It was the sin of idolatry . This was especially grievous in the sight of God, since Israel was designed to give light to all other nations. They were raised up for the very purpose that through them the knowledge of God might flow forth to the whole world. The destinies of humanity depended on them. Hence if the light that was in them were darkness, "how great," etc.! Their corruption was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:5

Will he reserve ? rather, Will he retain , etc.? It is a continuation of the supposed address of Judah. To the end ? rather, everlastingly? Behold, thou hast spoken , etc.; rather, Behold , thou hast spoken it , but hast done these evil things , and hast prevailed (i.e. succeeded ). The substance of the two verses (4 and 5) is well given by Ewald: "Unhappily her power truly to return has been exhausted, as not long ago after fresh signs of the Divine displeasure she... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:5

Actions speak louder than words. Israel, we see, is represented as speaking with a very pathetic remembrance of God's great favors in the remote past. At present, indeed, there is a withholding of the rain that means fruitfulness and prosperity, but that Father who has been the Guide of Israel's youth, surely he will soon bring the rain, with all that follows it, in spite of any appearances to the contrary, such as his anger with Israel suggests. Such is the way that Israel speaks ; ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:5

Rather, “Will he, the young husband,” retain, “keep up His anger forever!” These words should be joined to Jeremiah 3:4.Behold ... - Rather, “Behold, thou hast spoken” thus, but thou hast “done evil things” persistently. The King James Version translates as if Judah’s words and deeds were both evil. Really her words were fair, but her deeds proved them to be false.And here ends the prophecy, most interesting as showing what was the general nature of Jeremiah’s exhortations to his countrymen,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 3:4-5

Jeremiah 3:4-5. Wilt thou not from this time Namely, that I have withholden showers, this time of conviction and correction; now that thou hast been made to see thy sins, and to smart for them, wilt thou not forsake them and return to me, saying, I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me than now? Or from this time that thou hast had so kind an invitation to return, and an assurance that thou shalt be well received. Wilt thou not cry unto me, My father? ... read more
