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 31:23-40

Sub-Part B. The Coming Days Will Introduce A Completely New Type Of Covenant Provided By YHWH, One That Is Written In The Heart And Will Thus Result In Changed Lives (Jeremiah 31:23-40 ). This sub-part commences with the words, ‘Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel,’ and a feature of it is the phrase ‘the days are coming, says YHWH, when --’ (Jeremiah 31:27; Jeremiah 31:31; Jeremiah 31:38), with its emphasis being on the glorious future. We may analyse it as follows: · The fortunes of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-30

In Coming Days YHWH Will Re-establish Israel and Judah In The Land And Will Build Them Up (Jeremiah 31:27-30 ). YHWH’s promise is that He will, once the time is ripe, sow the land with men and animals so that they will grow and multiply and fill the land, after which He will build and plant so as to establish His people in the land. The miracle of the restoration of Israel/Judah in the land is often only too easily overlooked by those who think only in terms of ‘the end times’. There was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-40

The Threefold Predictions Concerning ‘The Days That Are Coming’ (Jeremiah 31:27-40 ). We now come to a threefold prediction concerning the coming days, backed up by absolute assurances of their fulfilment. · The days are coming when the people of Israel and Judah will be firmly established in the land, with full responsibility for their own individual behaviour (Jeremiah 31:27-30). · The days are coming when YHWH will make with them a new and better covenant, a covenant written in their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-30

Jeremiah 31:27-Amos : . Yahweh will replenish the scanty populations of both kingdoms, and will establish them (for the terms, cf. Jeremiah 1:10). In the future, individual responsibility for sin will replace the old doctrine of “ corporate” personality, by which children suffered for the sins of their fathers ( e.g. Achan’ s, Joshua 7:24), and Israel seemed to be suffering for the sins of past generations ( Lamentations 5:7; c f. Deuteronomy 24:16, and the notes on Ezekiel 18:2 ff.). read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 31:29

That is, We are punished for our fathers’ sins; which yet God may justly do; and none questioneth the justice of man in the case, depriving children of their patrimonial estates for their parents’ treasons; nor more than God threateneth in the second commandment, God indeed, Ezekiel 18:2, seemeth displeased at their use of this proverb; but the reason is, because they so used it as to acquit themselves, intimating they were guiltless, and suffered only for the sins of their parents, whereas... 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 31:29

Jeremiah 31:29In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.The bequethment of the ungodlyThere is this great difference between moral and physical evil--that men will use all their carefulness to avoid the one, while every imaginable prohibition is ineffectual to deter them from the other. It is quite evident that there is not in our nature a principle of what we may call a moral self-preservation. Hence it is that, whilst... read more
