Jeremiah 31:31 NIV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-34

The prophet shows that the happiness of Israel and Judah, united in one prosperous nation, will rest upon the consciousness that their chastisement has been the result of sins which they have themselves committed, and that God’s covenant depends not upon external sanctions, but upon a renewed heart.Jeremiah 31:27So rapid shall be the increase that it shall seem as if children and young cattle sprang up out of the ground.Jeremiah 31:29, Jeremiah 31:30A sour grape - Better, sour grapes. The idea... read more

Jeremiah 31:31-32. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord The latter days, or the times of the gospel, are here intended, as is evident from the apostle’s applying the following promises to those times, and quoting this whole passage as a summary of the covenant of grace, Hebrews 8:8-10. I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah The benefits of this covenant were first offered to the Jews, as being the completion of that covenant which God had made with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:23-40

A new city and a new age (31:23-40)Jeremiah has a vision of Jerusalem as a city of righteousness and Judah as a land of contentment. It is a vision that gives him the satisfaction of a pleasant dream (23-26). God had been responsible for the devastation of their land in the past, but he will also be responsible for its productivity in the future (27-28). The people by then will have learnt the lessons of their captivity. They will no longer blame their forefathers for their misfortunes, but... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:31

THE NEW COVENANT"Behold the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah."In Vol. 10 (Hebrews) of the New Testament Commentaries, pp. 162-166, one may find additional commentary on the New Covenant. There were several covenants that God made. (1) There was a covenant with Noah (Genesis 6:18,9:9); (2) two covenants with Abraham (Genesis 17:2,10; 15:18ff); (3) the covenant of salt (Numbers 18:19; Leviticus 2:13); and (4) the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 31:31-34

Jeremiah 31:31-34. Behold, the days come, &c.— The covenant here spoken of Jeremiah calls a new covenant; Jer 31:31 and what kind of covenant? Not such a one as was made with their fathers; Jeremiah 31:32. This was declarative enough of its nature; yet, to prevent mistakes, he gives as well a positive as a negative description of it. This shall be the covenant,—I will put my law in their inward parts, &c. Jer 31:33 that is to say, "This law shall be spiritual, as the other given to... read more

31. the days . . . new covenant with . . . Israel . . . Judah—The new covenant is made with literal Israel and Judah, not with the spiritual Israel, that is, believers, except secondarily, and as grafted on the stock of Israel (Romans 11:16-27). For the whole subject of the thirtieth and thirty-first chapters is the restoration of the Hebrews (Jeremiah 30:4; Jeremiah 30:7; Jeremiah 30:10; Jeremiah 30:18; Jeremiah 31:7; Jeremiah 31:10; Jeremiah 31:11; Jeremiah 31:23; Jeremiah 31:24; Jeremiah... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 31:31

In the future, the Lord will make a new covenant with all the Israelites, specifically the Israelites who had inhabited the Northern Kingdom and those who had inhabited the Southern Kingdom (cf. Jeremiah 32:40; Isaiah 24:5; Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 49:8; Isaiah 55:3; Isaiah 59:21; Isaiah 61:8; Ezekiel 16:60; Ezekiel 37:26; Hosea 2:18-20; Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews 8:8 to Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 12:24). This is the only place in the Old Testament where the term "new... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 31:31-34

The New Covenant 31:31-34Many commentators believe that Jeremiah’s revelation of the New Covenant was his greatest theological contribution. They view it as the high point of the book, the climax of the prophet’s teaching."The prophecy of Jeremiah marks a watershed in Hebrew religious and cultic life. From this point onwards there is a significant divergence between what has obtained in the past and what will characterize the future religious observances of Israel." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:1-40

1-22. Jeremiah speaks of the restoration first of Israel (Ephraim, Jeremiah 31:2-22), then of Judah (Jeremiah 31:23.). Those who survive the sufferings of the captivity are promised a safe journey home. The words, ’found grace in the wilderness’ (Jeremiah 31:2) are probably an allusion to the journey from Egypt under Moses, which was thus a prophecy to the captive Israelites of the return from Assyria.3.
