Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:36-39

Jeremiah 32:36-39. Now therefore, &c. In this and the following verses God returns an answer to the prophet’s expostulation, Jeremiah 32:25. Or the words may be thus translated, But now, notwithstanding, [all this,] thus saith the Lord; concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand, &c. Many of the Jews now began to see that the Chaldeans would certainly take the city, and they became as much dispirited as before they were full of courage. By the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:16-44

God reassures Jeremiah (32:16-44)After buying the field, Jeremiah began to have doubts. It seemed to him almost too much to expect that God could allow such a worthless people ever to return to their land. He therefore prayed to God (16), seeking to reassure himself that nothing is too hard for a God who is so loving and powerful (17-19). He reminds God of his steadfast faithfulness and miraculous power, which had saved his people in the past (20-22). But the people have been disobedient and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:37

Jeremiah 32:37. Behold, I will gather them— This and the following verses, to the 41st, respect such a return from the Babylonish captivity, as must and ought to be understood of the preaching of the Gospel, of the manifestation of the Messiah, of the new covenant, of the foundation of the Christian church, and of the final consequences thereof. For example, we cannot be assured that the Jews ever dwelt safely in their place, Jeremiah 32:37. That they had all one heart, and walked in one way,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-44

This chapter forms the introduction to the most continuously historical part of the book, which describes incidents in the two years preceding the final destruction of Jerusalem, viz. chs.34-43. The first of these incidents is here given, viz. Jeremiah’s purchase with all legal formality of a field of which he had the right of redemption, in order to encourage the people while the Chaldeans were investing the city by showing thus his faith in the return which he foretells in these chs.1-5. The... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Evidences Sealed and Evidences Open Jeremiah 32:14 The placing of the deeds in an earthen vessel or vase was of course peculiar to this case. It was intended to preserve them from damp and decay in their secret hiding-place during the long years of the captivity, as Jerusalem ere many months would be destroyed by the King of Babylon. I. Consider this mode of the authentication of purchase of property as an illustration of one of the evidences of the truth of the Word of God. One of the great... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

CHAPTER XXXIVRESTORATION VREVIEWJeremiah 30:1-24; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Jeremiah 32:1-44; Jeremiah 33:1-26IN reviewing these chapters we must be careful not to suppose that Jeremiah knew all that would ultimately result from his teaching. When he declared that the conditions of the New Covenant would be written, not in a few parchments, but on every heart, he laid down a principle which involved the most characteristic teaching of the New Testament and the Reformers, and which might seem to justify... read more
