Jeremiah 31:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:10-17

This paragraph is much to the same purport with the last, publishing to the world, as well as to the church, the purposes of God's love concerning his people. This is a word of the Lord which the nations must hear, for it is a prophecy of a work of the Lord which the nations cannot but take notice of. Let them hear the prophecy, that they may the better understand and improve the performance; and let those that hear it themselves declare it to others, declare it in the isles afar off. It will... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:10

Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations ,.... The Gentiles: who are called upon to hear the word of the Gospel; the word of peace, reconciliation, and salvation by Christ, sent among them by him, for the calling and conversion of them, that they might believe in him, and profess his name: and declare it in the isles afar off ; having heard, received, and embraced the Gospel themselves, it became them to make it known to others; not only to those upon the continent and the isles... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:10

Verse 10 The Prophet dwells at large on the redemption which was in the opinion of all incredible, especially as so many years had already elapsed; for it was the full extent of human life when the people had been buried, as it were, in their graves for seventy years. Then the length of time alone was sufficient to cut off every hope. No wonder then that our Prophet sets forth in a lofty strain the return of the people. Hence he exclaims, Hear, ye nations, the word of Jehovah And then, as by... read more

The isles; i.e. the distant countries of the West (see on Jeremiah 2:10 ). So great an event as the restoration of the chosen people would be of worldwide importance. He that scattered Israel will gather him, etc. "The Israelites were the flock of Jehovah ( Psalms 77:20 ; Psalms 80:1 ), but during the Captivity a scattered and miserable flock. Jeremiah says that his eye 'shall run down with tears, because the flock of Jehovah is carried away captive' ( Jeremiah 13:17 ). The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:10

The Scatterer the Gatherer. "He that scattered Israel," etc. It is possible that there should be a scattering which has no gathering. Not seldom we see men squandering every gift and blessing God has endowed them with—time, health, opportunities, friends, etc. And such scattering has often no gathering to follow it, save of the appropriate harvest of ruin whose seed has been so diligently sown. But there may be also a gathering which has never been preceded by any scattering. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:10

The Scatterer also the Gatherer. I. GOD AS THE SCATTERER . Seeing that the Scatterer becomes the Gatherer, it is evident that scattering is used to describe his action by a sort of accommodation. Outwardly it looks like scattering; but there is a spirit and a purpose and a regulative principle in the action which makes it to be really only a stage in a more complete gathering worthy of the name. It is, perhaps, worthy of note that there is in the Hebrew word something of the idea... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:10-14

The redemption of Israel a great and notable event. It is to be proclaimed as of universal import and consequence. The scattering of Israel may be alluded to in speaking of "the nations" and "the isles," or these may be addressed simply as onlookers of the mighty drama. What happens to God's people must concern the whole world. I. AS AN EXHIBITION OF DIVINE GRACE AND POWER . ( Jeremiah 31:10 , Jeremiah 31:11 .) 1 . It betokened the restoration of God's... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:10-11

Jeremiah 31:10-11. Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, &c. This apostrophe, or turning to the heathen nations, was, as it were, the prelude of calling them to the knowledge of the true God. This calling of them was certainly never effected by the Jews in the way and to the degree it was by the apostles of Christ and their disciples, who gained thousands more to Christianity than ever the Jews did to Judaism. Here the prophet calls upon the Gentiles, not the Jews, to hear the word... read more
