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 3:1-5

Subsection 1. YHWH’s Complaint Against His People (Jeremiah 2:4 to Jeremiah 3:5 ). YHWH commences by presenting His complaint against Israel/Judah. This was because, having responded avidly to the love and faithfulness that He had demonstrated to them in the arid wilderness, where they had earnestly sought Him, they had afterwards, once He had brought them into a fruitful land, turned against Him (Jeremiah 2:4-8). He then continues by expressing bafflement and horror at the way that they... read more

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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:1-5

Jeremiah 3:1-Deuteronomy : . Israel’ s Infidelity.— (Some introductory formula, like that of Jeremiah 2:1, has dropped out before Jeremiah 3:1; note mg.) . Israel’ s marital unfaithfulness to Yahweh is too gross for a facile repentance to avail. The analogy of the law of divorce ( mg. reference) suggests that Israel cannot deal with her Divine Husband as lightly as she will. She has waited for her lovers as persistently as a nomad plunderer for his victims. The loss of that prosperity which... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 3:2

Lift up thine eyes; do but look, and consider whether I do charge thee wrongfully or no. Unto the high places: he directs her to the places of her whoredoms and idolatries, called high places, being principally upon hills, 2 Kings 21:3, and divers other places, though sometimes in valleys, Jeremiah 2:23; which notes also her impudence, that whereas other whores affected privacy, she should be filthy in the open view. And see where thou hast not been lien with; thy filthiness has been every... 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

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 3:1-25

Jeremiah 3:3 . Therefore the showers, of the former and the latter rain, have been withheld. Other prophets make the same remark. God is not obliged to give luxuriant harvests to furnish feasts to a guilty people, who would ascribe those gifts to their idols. Jeremiah 3:6 . The Lord said unto me in the days of Josiah, when idolatry had prevailed for fifty years, from Manasseh’s ascension to the throne to the minority of this young king: nor could the king wholly suppress it during his... read more

Jeremiah 3:1-5Return again to Me, saith the Lord.The backslider invited to returnWe have here a wonderful display of God’s character: forbearance, pity, and love.I. What is inferred. A departure from God.1. The life of an ungodly man is one long departure from God. Every step he takes leads him farther away.2. What departures we find even in the holiest and best! Secret neglects. Seductions in daily avocations and companions. Tampering with sin.II. What is declared. A returning to God as a... read more

Jer 3:2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness. Ver. 2. And see where thou hast not been lien with. ] Pouring out thy spiritual whoredoms, as Papists now do with their crosses, chapels, pictures, set up in all places. In the ways thou hast sat for them. ] For thy customers and copse mates, like a common... read more
