Jeremiah 3:15

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 3:11-25

Pleading with Faithless Children Jeremiah 3:11-25 ; Jeremiah 4:1-2 The people of the northern kingdom, to whom this appeal is especially addressed, were more excusable than Judah, because their privileges had been less. God judges us according to our opportunities. How precious the invitation and promise of Jeremiah 3:12 ! Confession is an essential condition that must be fulfilled by us. See 1 John 1:7 . Zion shall yet be the center of a restored Israel, Jeremiah 3:14 ; Jeremiah 3:18 . In... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:1-25

Following the impeachment, the prophet appealed to the people to return. This appeal commenced with a declaration that Jehovah's love was greater than man's in that He was willing to receive back the people who had been unfaithful if they would return to Him. Jeremiah then pointed out the conditions of return, describing the sin of Israel, and of Judah, and appealing to each in turn. Of course, his message was principally to Judah, as he pointed out that because Judah had persisted in her... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:1-25

SECTION 1. An Overall Description Of Jeremiah’s Teaching Given In A Series Of Accumulated, Mainly Undated, Prophecies, Concluding With Jeremiah’s Own Summary Of His Ministry (Jeremiah 2:4 to Jeremiah 25:38 ). From this point onwards up to chapter 25 we have a new major section (a section in which MT and LXX are mainly similar) which records the overall teaching of Jeremiah, probably given mainly during the reigns of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6) and Jehoiakim, although leading up to the days of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6-25

Subsection 2). YHWH’s Solemn Warning To Judah In The Days Of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 6:30 ). This section can be divided into four parts: · Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 4:2. Israel is held up as an example to Judah, both of faithlessness and of hope for the future. For because of what they had done Israel were in exile, and were ashamed of their ways, but if only they would turn to Him in their exile they would be restored. For them there was hope. It was very different with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:12-19

A Brief Glimpse Of The Future Establishment Of The Everlasting Kingdom (Jeremiah 3:12-19 ). Having established that Judah was even more guilty than Israel YHWH now breaks into the message of gloom by demonstrating hope for the future for Israel. On the basis of His great mercy He called through Jeremiah for Israel’s return to the land. This was a flash-forward into the future. While at present she was in exile, if she would only admit her backsliding and repent He promises that He will bring... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6-18

Jeremiah 3:6-Job : . Israel’ s Sin less than Judah’ s.— This passage interrupts the continuity of Jeremiah 3:19 with Jeremiah 3:5 (note also the interruptive introductory formula, Jeremiah 3:6), and seems to be a separate prophecy, though it employs the predominant figure of this section, i.e. the marriage of Yahweh and His people, and is probably by Jeremiah (to Jeremiah 3:16). The northern kingdom was faithless to this marriage, through the Baal-cult; Yahweh waited for her return in vain (... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 3:15

Pastors; either civil magistrates, which are sometimes so called, Micah 5:5; or rather ecclesiastical, as appears both from the reason of God’s judgments upon Israel, viz. their pastors being generally either thieves or dumb dogs; and also from the nature of their office, in the close of the verse, and thus they are called Ephesians 4:11. According to mine heart; such as I will both choose for you and approve of, and that shall faithfully and skilfully declare unto you my mind; which intimates... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-25

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology. Exact date of chapter uncertain. It naturally divides itself at Jeremiah 3:5, although Dahler, Umbriet, and Neuman contend for the unity of the chapter as a single prophecy. Doubtless there is a continuity of imagery and reasoning (Jeremiah 3:1; Jeremiah 3:8), but the inscription to Jeremiah 3:6 is a difficulty, and their transforence of that inscription to Jeremiah 3:1 is unwarranted. “The Targum,” Vulgate, Jerome, Rosenmüller, Wordsworth, and... read more

DISCOURSE: 1033GOD’S INVITATION TO HIS PEOPLEJeremiah 3:12-15. Go, and proclaim these words toward the north; and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord, and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. Turn,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:1-25

They say ( Jeremiah 3:1 ),That is, in quoting the law and in speaking of the law, Deuteronomy.If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man's wife, shall he return unto her again? shall not the land be greatly polluted? ( Jeremiah 3:1 )Under the law if you divorce your wife and she married another man, then you could not marry her again. That was under the law of Deuteronomy, chapter 24, I think it is. Yet God said, even so,you have played the harlot with many... read more
