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 Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:27

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or, "are coming" F11 באים "venientes", Montanus, Schmidt; "venturi sunt", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; and will be here shortly: that I will sow the house of Israel, and the house of Judah, with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast ; that is, will multiply both man and beast, so that there shall be a great increase; whereas, through war, famine, pestilence, and captivity, their number was greatly reduced. The allusion is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:28

And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them ,.... In providence; looked upon them with an eye of vindictive justice; observed all their actions and motions; diligently attended to everything that passed, and took the first and most fitting opportunity: to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict ; which words, as they have an elegance and an agreeableness in their sound, in the original; so they are expressive of the utter... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:29

In those days they shall say no more ,.... The following proverb or byword; they should have no occasion to use it, nor should they choose to use it; since they would understand themselves, and the dispensations of Providence towards them, better than to use it: the fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge ; that is, the fathers have sinned, and the children are punished for their sins. So the Targum, "the fathers have sinned, and the children are... read more

I will sow - with the seed of man and with the seed of beast - I will multiply both men and cattle. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:29

The fathers have eaten a sour grape - A proverbial expression for, "The children suffer for the offenses of their parents." This is explained in the next verse: "Every one shall die for his own iniquity." No child shall suffer Divine punition for the sin of his father; only so far as he acts in the same way can he be said to bear the sins of his parents. read more

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:28

Verse 28 By these words the Prophet confirms what he had said; for the Israelites and the Jews might have ever made this objection, “Why should God promise to be the liberator of his people, whom he had suffered to be oppressed with so great evils, for it would have been easier to prevent them?” The Jews then might have raised this clamor, “Thou givest us here the hope of a return, but why does God suffer us to be driven into exile? why then does he not apply the remedy in time; for now too... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:29

Verse 29 Ezekiel shews that it was a complaint commonly prevailing among the people, that they suffered for the sins of their fathers, as Horace also says, a heathen and a despiser of God, “O Roman, thou dost undeservedly suffer for the faults of thy fathers.” (51) Such, then, was the arrogance of the Jews, as to strive with God, as though he punished them, while they were innocent; and they expressed this by using a proverb, “If our fathers have eaten sour grapes, what is the reason that our... 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
