Jeremiah 3:25 NIV

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:19-25

Repentance means genuine change (3:19-4:4)God wanted the relationship between him and his people to be like that between a father and a son, or between a husband and a wife. But his people have been rebellious and unfaithful (19-20). In hope, the prophet pictures the people turning from their false worship at Baal’s high places and crying out to God for forgiveness. In response God promises that if they truly repent, he will forgive them and heal them (21-22a).The people then turn to God and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 3:25

Jeremiah 3:25. We lie down in our shame— "God has justly abandoned us to our confusion: he has permitted, that the worship of those idols which we have adored, should serve only to throw us into a condition deplorable as death; into captivity, exile, and oppression." See Calmet. REFLECTIONS.—1st, When for our sin we deserve to be abandoned, our God is merciful, and not willing that any should perish, as here most eminently appears. 1. Their iniquities were great, numberless, and aggravated.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 3:1-25

Aspects of false religion 7:1-8:3All the messages in this section deal with departure from the Lord in religious practices, either in pagan rites or in the perversion of the proper worship of Yahweh that the Mosaic Law specified. All the material in this section fits conditions in Judah after 609 B.C., when Jehoiakim began allowing a return to pagan practices after the end of Josiah’s reforms. Another feature of this section is the large amount of prose material it contains, much more than the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 3:25

They now (in that day) will not try to run from their shame (cf. Genesis 3:7; Genesis 3:10). Rather, they willingly let it cover them and will confess their sin against Yahweh their God, sin that had existed throughout their history as a nation. They had disobeyed the Lord’s voice; they had broken His covenant (cf. Jeremiah 3:13). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:1-25

The Prophet Sets Forth the Sin of the Nation and Points Out the Inevitable Result (Reign of Josiah, and Probably Before the Reforms of that King: cp. Jer 3:6)This section furnishes us with the gist of the prophet's testimony during the early years of his ministry, and doubtless represents the commencement of the roll written by Baruch at Jeremiah's dictation. In these five chapters he lays before his hearers the grossness of their conduct in deserting Jehovah, and urges repentance and amendment... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6-25

Jeremiah's Third Prophecy. The Fate of the Ten Tribes a Warning to JudahIn this prophecy, as in the last, idolatry is denounced under the figure of unfaithfulness to the marriage vow. But as a marked distinction, God here invites to repentance, and on this there hinges pardon.6-20. Israel and Judah have both forsaken their Divine Spouse, but forgiveness will follow repentance.7-11. Samaria, the capital of the kingdom of the Ten Tribes, after a stubborn resistance had been captured by Sargon,... read more
