Jeremiah 32:5 - Exposition

Until I visit him; i.e. until I take notice of him. "To visit" is used in a good ( Jeremiah 27:22 ; Jeremiah 29:10 ) as well as in a bad sense ( Jeremiah 6:15 ; Jeremiah 49:8 ), so that no definite announcement is made respecting Zedekiah's future. There was no object to gain by extending the scope of the revelation beyond the immediate present, and Zedekiah's offences did not require such an anticipative punishment as the clear prediction of the details of his fate ( Jeremiah 39:6 , Jeremiah 39:7 ; Jeremiah 52:11 ).
