Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:1-40

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In The Heart... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:16-22

Rachel’s Weeping Will, However, Be Rewarded, For Her Children Will Be Returned To Her, And They Will Come To YHWH In Repentance And Be Received By Him As A Beloved Son (Jeremiah 31:16-22 ). The call now comes to the weeping ‘Rachel’ to cease her weeping, because her activity has been rewarded. Her children would return from the land of their enemies to within their own borders, giving hope for the future. For they have returned in repentance acknowledging the chastisement of YHWH, and YHWH is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:15-22

Jeremiah 31:15-Song of Solomon : . Jeremiah hears Rachel (the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, Genesis 30:24; Genesis 35:16 ff.) weeping at (her grave near) Ramah, for her children, the northern exiles. He bids her refrain, in the certainty of their restoration. Their penitence is described ( Jeremiah 31:18 f.). Yahweh expresses wonder ( Jeremiah 31:20) at His own enduring love for this very precious son, this child of delight; He is moved to deep emotion, and, in spite of all, cannot abandon... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 31:17

And again here, where, by end, is meant the end of the seventy years, and the words are but a repetition of the promise of the return of the Jews out of the captivity of Babylon, of which the prophet had often before assured them, and here only repeats it as an argument why they should not be immoderately afflicted; for their affliction was not endless, nor their captivity for ever; they should return again into their own land. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 31:1-40

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Vide on chap. 30. These two chapters form an unbroken prophecy, “a triumphal hymn of Israel’s salvation.” The former chapter pledges the recovery from captivity of both “Israel and Judah;” this addresses “all the families of Israel,” then distinctively the ten tribes; and finally returns with separate assurances to Judah, then to Israel and Judah together.Geographical References.—Jeremiah 31:15. “Voice heard in Ramah,” a city of Benjamin, near where Rachel, the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:1-40

This time shall we turn in our Bibles to Jeremiah 31:1-40 .Now there are those who say that God has cast off Israel as a nation forever, and that all of the blessings, all of the covenants and all of the promises that God made to this nation are now fulfilled in the church. That we have become Israel after the Spirit and being spiritual Israel, God has forsaken the nation itself and is now pouring out all of the blessings that He had promised through His covenant upon the church. Now this... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:1-40

Jeremiah 31:1 . At the same time, namely, as the last words of the preseding chapter, in the latter day. Here the subject is glorious, and the language sublime. Jeremiah 31:3 . I have loved thee with a perpetual love. So Montanus, Pagninus, and the Munster bible read. This reading is also fully admitted by our Poole. See his Synopsis. Dilectione perpeta dilexi te. This is God’s grand promise of strong consolation to the church in her time of long captivity and trouble. Messiah is the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 31:15-17

Jeremiah 31:15-17A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children. Innocents’ dayUndoubtedly it seems strange, that one of the earliest consequences of the incarnation of Him, who afterwards declared that He came not to destroy men’s lives, but to save them, should thus have been the murder of so many unoffending little ones. A few days ago we assembled around the cradle of the newborn King, and now the ground round about us is strewed with the bodies... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 31:16-17

Jeremiah 31:16-17Refrain thy voice from weeping. Bereaved parents comfortedI. It is not sinful for parents to be grieved and sorrowful for the death of their children. If we do not grieve when we are thus stricken of God, it is an evidence that we do not feel the heavy calamity which His providence hath inflicted, and how can there be any probability that we shall be profited by it? It is by the sadness of the countenance that the heart is made better. It is in consequence of the affliction... read more
