Jeremiah 32:33 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

We have here God's answer to Jeremiah's prayer, designed to quiet his mind and make him easy; and it is a full discovery of the purposes of God's wrath against the present generation and the purposes of his grace concerning the future generations. Jeremiah knew not how to sing both of mercy and judgment, but God here teaches to sing unto him of both. When we know not how to reconcile one word of God with another we may yet be sure that both are true, both are pure, both shall be made good, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:33

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face ,.... When he reproved them for their sins; called them to repentance; instructed them in their duty; and warned them of the dangers they exposed themselves to; instead of turning the face to him, as scholars to their masters, and as subjects to their prince, to listen to what was said to them; they turned their backs or necks, the hinder part of them; expressive of contempt, and showing great rudeness and irreverence: though I... read more

Though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them - From the frequent reference to this, we may naturally conclude that morning preaching prevailed much in Judea. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:33

Verse 33 Here the Prophet expresses more clearly the perverseness of the people, as though he had said, that they had deliberately rejected every instruction, and had shewn no regard for God; for he who turns his back on us, does this knowingly and wilfully, and indeed not without contempt. When any one addresses me, and I look another way, is it not a manifest sign of contempt or disdain? and he who speaks, does he not see that he is disregarded? Thus God then complains that the Jews had not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

A story of God's sustaining grace. This whole chapter may be summed up under some such heading as this. For it begins with showing us God's servant Jeremiah in a position in which he sorely needed sustaining grace, and then it proceeds to narrate the threefold process by which this grace was communicated to him. The manner in which God sustained Jeremiah is very much akin to that in which he will sustain all his servants who may be in similar need. If any be so now, let them give heed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

The Divine answer. This falls into two parts. First, Jehovah repeats the burden of so many prophecies, that Israel has only to blame himself for his punishment ( Jeremiah 32:26-35 ); and then a bright future is disclosed beyond the gloomy interval of conquest and captivity—a future when men shall buy fields, and comply with all the legal formalities, precisely as Jeremiah has done (verses 36-44). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:31-33

Love's labour apparently lost. As we read this record ( Jeremiah 32:33 ) of the persevering and earnest, but nevertheless fruitless, labours of God's servants, and remember that they were sent by the Lord, we are almost led to ask, "To what purpose is this waste?" We can understand loving, earnest labour persevered in, though nothing may come of it, when those who so toil are sustained by hope, even though it may be sometimes hoping against hope. But "love hopeth all things, believeth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:33

Man's neglect of God's teaching. I. GOD 'S ATTITUDE AS A TEACHER TOWARDS MAN . God's complaint is that man turns to him the back and not the face. Hence we are . But God, looking from a higher point, sees the enduring bright result beyond. Observe in this passage— I. GOD 'S THOROUGH GOOD WILL TOWARDS HIS PEOPLE . His will is ever to show favour and do good to mankind. That will is always in action, but it can only be in manifestation when men themselves, by... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 32:26-44

The answer is divided into two parts;(a) Jeremiah 32:26-35, the sins of Judah are shown to be the cause of her punishment:(b) Jeremiah 32:36-44, this punishment was not for Judah’s destruction, but for her amendment.Jeremiah 32:28I will give - Or, I am giving.Jeremiah 32:30From their youth - God’s mighty deeds for Israel began in Egypt Jeremiah 32:20, and so did Israel’s sin.Jeremiah 32:34, Jeremiah 32:35These verses are repeated from Jeremiah 7:30-31, but with two important variations. Baal is... read more
