F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 31:1-9

15-34, an Everlasting Love Jeremiah 31:1-9 It is all-inclusive: all the families of Israel . It is patient under provocation: during forty years it bore with Israel. It has a drawing-power which overcomes our obduracy. It longs to restore the old joyous confidence and freedom: thou shalt go forth in the dances of them that make ready. It will never rest till it has broken down misunderstandings and alienation, so that even Ephraim shall propose to worship at Mount Zion. It meets the heart:... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:1-40

Continuing, the Prophet dealt with the issues of restoration. He first described the restoration of the city. After affirming the ancient love of Jehovah for His people, he foretold the building of the city, and the planting of "vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria," proceeding to describe the return to the city and the country of the penitent people. He then turned to the surrounding nations, and declared to them the fact that Jehovah had ransomed and redeemed Jacob, foretold their... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:3

‘LOVED WITH EVERLASTING LOVE’‘I have loved thee with an everlasting love.’ Jeremiah 31:3 I. We cannot estimate the length of God’s love.—When did it begin to be? Long before I was born. Long before the Cross was raised on the brow of Calvary. Long before the world was made. Its foundations lie in His own eternity. And when will it cease to be? Neither in the hour of death, nor yet in the ageless years that stretch beyond. ‘Yea,’ He says, ‘I have loved thee with an everlasting love.’ II. We... read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:2-6

As They Were Of Old Delivered From Egypt, So Israel Are Now Again To Be Redeemed And Delivered, So That They Might Find Rest Because Of YHWH’s Love For Them (Jeremiah 31:2-6 ). The reference back to the old deliverance from Egypt confirms that we are to see in what follows a reference to the whole of Israel. While at certain points Jeremiah will especially be emphasising the people of the northern kingdom, that is because he wishes to emphasise that they are included in YHWH’s saving... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:1-6

Jeremiah 31:1-Joshua : . This prophecy of the restoration of the northern kingdom may belong, like ch. 3, to Jeremiah’ s early period. The northern Israelites shall be gathered from exile (“ the wilderness” ). Yahweh will appear from Zion ( Jeremiah 31:3, mg. 1 ; cf. Jeremiah 51:50), declaring His enduring love ( Hosea 11:4), and will restore general happiness; in the security of tenure the vineyards (which require time for their development) will be replanted, and their keepers (“ watchmen”... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 31:3

The word saying being not in the original, hath given advantage to some to think that the first words are either the words of some of the people owning that the Lord indeed had of old appeared to and for them, but doubting whether the kindness of God still held toward them; or else complaining that these were old stories. To which the prophet replies by assuring them that God’s love was not a temporary love, manifested to a single generation, but it was an everlasting love; therefore he had... read more
