耶利米书 31:23-26 CUNPSS

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

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:23

The Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice - After their return they shall De remarkably prosperous. Piety and industry shall go hand in hand; they shall have their husbandmen, their shepherds, and neatherds, Jeremiah 31:24 . And Jerusalem shall become a righteous city, and the temple shall be a place of holiness; so the weary there shall have rest, and the sorrowful shall be abundantly comforted, Jeremiah 31:24 , Jeremiah 31:25 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:26

Upon this I awaked - It appears that the prophecy, commencing with Jeremiah 30:2 ; and ending with Jeremiah 31:25 ; of this chapter, was delivered to the prophet in a dream. Dahler supposes it to be a wish; that the prophet, though he could not hope to live to that time, might be permitted to awake up from his tomb; and, having seen this prosperity, would be content to return to his grave. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:23

Verse 23 He confirms in other words what he has said before; nor is the repetition, as we have said elsewhere, superfluous; for it was difficult to convince the Jews that what they had already regarded as impossible could be effected; for by their perverseness they had closed, as it were, the door against the word of God. As then despair had thus laid hold on them, and fast bound their minds, it was necessary to dwell at large on the subject, so that they might at length embrace the promise of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:24

Verse 24 He proceeds with the same subject, but sets forth the effect of that favor of which he had spoken, for dwell, he says, shall the Jews again in the land; that is, they shall rest there and have a quiet habitation. He adds cities, only to amplify the favor of God as to the number and multiplicity of men; as though he had said, that not a few would return, but a vast number of men, sufficient to fill their cities. Now this was to exceed the hope of all; for when they saw the cities... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:25

Verse 25 By this verse he removes every doubt, lest any one should reject what he had promised as to the restoration of the people, because the Jews and the Israelites were at the time as dead men. He therefore says, I will water the thirsty soul; some render it “the weary soul;” but נפש עיפה, n upesh oiphe, is often taken metaphorically for a thirsty soul. So in Psalms 143:6, it is said, “I am as a dry land;” weariness cannot be suitably applied to land; and in Isaiah 29:8, we have these... read more
