Jeremiah 50:19 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 50:9-20

God is here by his prophet, as afterwards in his providence, proceeding in his controversy with Babylon. Observe, I. The commission and charge given to the instruments that were to be employed in destroying Babylon. The army that is to do it is called an assembly of great nations (Jer. 50:9), the Medes and Persians, and all their allies and auxiliaries; it is called an assembly, because regularly formed by the divine will and counsel to do this execution. God will raise them up to do it, will... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:19

And I will bring Israel again to his habitation ,.... Or "fold" F21 אל נוהו "ad habitaculum", vel potius "caulam", Schmidt. , or place of pasturage; for the metaphor of sheep is still continued. Israel designs not the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the Levites, and a few of the other tribes mixed with them only, but all Israel, together with Judah, as appears from Jeremiah 50:20 ; and so this prophecy had not its full accomplishment at the Jews' return from the Babylonish... read more

I will bring Israel again - This seems to refer wholly to the ten tribes; for Carmel, Bashan, Mount Ephraim, and Gilead, were in their territories. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:19

Verse 19 Jeremiah pursues here the same subject, and sustains the minds of the faithful in their miseries, lest they should wholly despond. It is then the same as though he stretched forth his hand to the shipwrecked, or gave support to those lying down as it were lifeless; for exile to God’s children was not only sad, but was like death, because they perceived the vengeance of God as though they had been wholly repudiated. It was therefore necessary to give them some consolation, that they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1-46 . AND 51. ON BABYLON . This attitude of reserve is not assumed without substantial grounds, derived from two sources—the epilogue ( Jeremiah 51:59-64 ) and the prophecy itself. First, as to the epilogue. It is clear that the words, "and they shall be weary," are out of place in Jeremiah 51:64 , and that they are wrongly repeated from Jeremiah 51:58 . But how came they to be repeated? Because, originally, the declaration, "Thus far are the words of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:6-20

Israel as lost sheep. This is a favourite theocratic title of Israel—the sheep of God's pasture. In itself an appeal to the traditional pastoral character of the nation, and to the marvellous guidance of their forefathers by Jehovah through the wilderness. He was the Shepherd of Israel. The extent of their apostasy is here described. I. IT WAS COMPLETE . 1 . They had wandered. The allurements of idolatry had led them on and on, and they had at length yielded to them. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:19

The flock restored. His habitation is an unfortunate rendering, which obscures the beautiful figure; read, his pasture (as in Jeremiah 50:7 ). The places mentioned were all famous for their rich pasturage (comp. Jeremiah 22:6 ; Isaiah 33:9 ; Micah 7:14 (especially); Ezekiel 34:13 , Ezekiel 34:14 ; So Ezekiel 4:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:19-20

The forgiveness of God. These words are a beautiful setting forth of God's abundant pardon. Concerning it note how— I. IT BRINGS UNSPEAKABLE JOY . In the former part of this chapter (cf. Jeremiah 50:6 ) the prophet has pictured Israel and Judah like to a driven, hunted flock of sheep, never allowed to rest in peace, worried by fierce dogs, and hence in perpetual distress. But here there is a complete contrast. The flock feeds on Carmel and Bashan, the richest pastures. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:19-20

The feeding places of the flock. Consider— I. WHAT JEHOVAH HAD PROVIDED AND THE PEOPLE HAD LOST . Carmel and Bashan, Ephraim and Gilead, were not something altogether new. They were memories of the past as well as hopes of the future. Israel had been a scattered sheep. Out of Christ not only are we ourselves lost, but we have lost the use of the appropriate possessions of humanity. Really what God does in restoring his people is to bring them to something a great deal... read more
