Jeremiah 2:31-37

Never surely, was there afforded a more lively instance of the gracious purpose of God's unalterable love to his people, than what this Chapter affords, from beginning to end. The Lord sends the Prophet in the opening, to tell the people of God's remembrance of Israel's first-love: and in the close of the Chapter, the Lord tells them, that though they shall not prosper in their confidence, yet he thereby intimates, that grace shall at length prevail. Through the whole, and every part of the prophet's sermon, we discern, with clear marks all along, that the Lord hath mercy in store, and will not cast away his people whom he foreknew, Romans 11:1-5 .
