Jeremiah 31:27

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:27-34

The prophet, having found his sleep sweet, made so by the revelations of divine grace, sets himself to sleep again, in hopes of further discoveries, and is not disappointed; for it is here further promised, I. That the people of God shall become both numerous and prosperous. Israel and Judah shall be replenished both with men and cattle, as if they were sown with the seed of both, Jer. 31:27. They shall increase and multiply like a field sown with corn; and this is the product of God's... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:27

Verse 27 We see that the Prophet brings forward nothing new, but only animates the Jews with confidence as to their deliverance and their return. He yet employs another similitude, even that God would again sow Judeah in the land, that he might produce an increase of men, and also of cattle, and of all kinds of animals. We have said that the land was to be for a time dreary and forsaken. As God then thus condemned as it were the land, that all might regard it as given up to desolation and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:27

I will sow , etc. The passage may be illustrated by Isaiah 26:18 , where the Church of the restored exiles is represented as complaining that the land (of Judah) has not been brought into a state of security, and that inhabitants (in sufficient numbers) have not been begotten. Similarly here, only the tone of complaint is wanting. The thought has suggested itself—Will the Israelites of the latter days be sufficient to fill up the land? Yes, is the answer of revelation; for Jehovah will... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:27-30

The physical side of the Messianic blessing. Its effect upon the heart of the pardoned sinners will be such that they will fully recognize the justice of the Divine judgments. There will no longer be any room for a certain favourite proverb; the death of a sinner will be universally acknowledged to be the reward of his personal sin (Keil). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:27-34

The prophet shows that the happiness of Israel and Judah, united in one prosperous nation, will rest upon the consciousness that their chastisement has been the result of sins which they have themselves committed, and that God’s covenant depends not upon external sanctions, but upon a renewed heart.Jeremiah 31:27So rapid shall be the increase that it shall seem as if children and young cattle sprang up out of the ground.Jeremiah 31:29, Jeremiah 31:30A sour grape - Better, sour grapes.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:27-28

Jeremiah 31:27-28. I will sow the house of Israel Under the captivity the land lay desolate, without man and beast, Jeremiah 33:12; but here it is promised that it should be again inhabited and replenished with both. And like as I have watched over them to pluck up, &c. I will show the same care and diligence in restoring them as I have formerly done in destroying them, according to the promise made to them upon their repentance and reformation. See Jeremiah 18:7-10. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:23-40

A new city and a new age (31:23-40)Jeremiah has a vision of Jerusalem as a city of righteousness and Judah as a land of contentment. It is a vision that gives him the satisfaction of a pleasant dream (23-26). God had been responsible for the devastation of their land in the past, but he will also be responsible for its productivity in the future (27-28). The people by then will have learnt the lessons of their captivity. They will no longer blame their forefathers for their misfortunes, but... read more
