Jeremías 3:21, Jeremías 3:22 NVI

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 3:20-25

Here is, I. The charge God exhibits against Israel for their treacherous departures from him, Jer. 3:20. As an adulterous wife elopes from her husband, so have they gone a whoring from God. They were joined to God by a marriage-covenant, but they broke that covenant, they dealt treacherously with God, who had always dealt kindly and faithfully with them. Treacherous dealing with men like ourselves is bad enough, but to deal treacherously with God is to deal treasonably. II. Their conviction... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:21

A voice was heard upon the high places ,.... And so might be heard afar off; it shows that the repentance and confession of the Jews, when convinced and converted, will be very public, and made upon those places where they have committed their sins; see Jeremiah 2:20 , for this and the following verses declare the humiliation, repentance, and conversion of the Jews, and the manner in which they shall be brought to it, and be openly put among the children: weeping and supplications of... read more

A voice was heard upon the high places - Here the Israelites are represented as assembled together to bewail their idolatry and to implore mercy. While thus engaged, they hear the gracious call of Jehovah: - read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:21

Verse 21 What I have stated becomes now more evident, — that the case of the Israelites is here set before the Jews, that the perverse, whom God had spared, might know that the same punishment impended over them, except they returned in due time to him: for the Prophet declares, that the Israelites were weeping and in tears, because they had departed from their God, and violated their faith pledged to him. For what purpose did he do this? That the Jews, who indulged themselves in their own... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:21

Another of those rapid transitions so common in emotional writing like Jeremiah's. The prophet cannot bear to dwell upon the backsliding of his people. He knows the elements of good which still survive, and by faith sees them developed, through the teaching of God's good providence, into a fruitful repentance. How graphic is the description! On the very high places (or rather, bare , treeless heights or downs , as verse 2) where a licentious idolatry used to be practiced, a sound is... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:21

A sincere repentance in an appropriate place. How came this voice to be heard on the high places—this weeping and this supplication? The answer seems to lie in Jeremiah 3:20 , where there is interposed a suggestion that Israel, because of its past defections, would fail to prove capable and worthy of that glorious future which has been just depicted. How then can Israel reply except by an abundant outflow of the signs of penitence? There is weeping; there is deprecation of any such... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:21-25

Typical penitence. It is difficult if not impossible to fix any historic date for the fulfillment of this prophecy. Not a few competent scholars maintain that it is yet unfulfilled. But in any case it is a picture of the future, and may be accepted as a description of the penitence that is well-pleasing in the sight of God. All through it is spiritual, and the national circumstances involved are put thoroughly into the background. I. THE UPSPRINGING OF GODLY SORROW FOR SIN... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:21

Upon the high places - Upon those bare table-lands, which previously had been the scene of Israel’s idolatries Jeremiah 3:2. The prophet supposes the offer of mercy to Israel if repentant to have been accepted, and describes Israel’s agony of grief now that she is convinced of her sins.Weeping and supplications - literally, “the weeping of earliest prayers for mercy.”For they have ... - Rather, because “they hare perverted their way,” literally, made it crooked. It gives the reason of their cry... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 3:20-21

Jeremiah 3:20-21. Surely, as a wife treacherously departeth, &c. This may be rendered, As a woman is not faithful to her husband, or, her friend, as the Hebrew רעה signifies. Here God returns to the carnal Israelites; so that the Jewish doctors seem to be right in calling the spirit of prophecy an abrupt spirit. So have you dealt treacherously with me God, by thus reminding the Israelites of what they had formerly been, endeavours to bring them to repentance and new obedience for... read more
