Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

We have here God's answer to Jeremiah's prayer, designed to quiet his mind and make him easy; and it is a full discovery of the purposes of God's wrath against the present generation and the purposes of his grace concerning the future generations. Jeremiah knew not how to sing both of mercy and judgment, but God here teaches to sing unto him of both. When we know not how to reconcile one word of God with another we may yet be sure that both are true, both are pure, both shall be made good, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:37

Behold, I will gather them out of all countries ,.... At the end of the seventy years' captivity; and which will have a greater accomplishment in the latter day, when the Jews shall be converted, and gathered from their present dispersion all over the earth: whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath : or "whither I shall drive them", or "shall have driven them" F13 אשר הדחתים שם "quo dispulero eos", Schmidt; "quo depulero ipsos", Junius &... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:37

Verse 37 We now understand what the design of the Prophet was, when he spoke of the Jews as saying, that the city was delivered up to the Chaldeans and the Babylonians, even because the promised deliverance could afford them no comfort, inasmuch as they fully believed that their salvation was hopeless. Ye then say, he says, that the city has been delivered up; but I, he adds, will gather them from all the lands to which I shall drive them in my wrath and hot displeasure and great indignation... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

A story of God's sustaining grace. This whole chapter may be summed up under some such heading as this. For it begins with showing us God's servant Jeremiah in a position in which he sorely needed sustaining grace, and then it proceeds to narrate the threefold process by which this grace was communicated to him. The manner in which God sustained Jeremiah is very much akin to that in which he will sustain all his servants who may be in similar need. If any be so now, let them give heed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

The Divine answer. This falls into two parts. First, Jehovah repeats the burden of so many prophecies, that Israel has only to blame himself for his punishment ( Jeremiah 32:26-35 ); and then a bright future is disclosed beyond the gloomy interval of conquest and captivity—a future when men shall buy fields, and comply with all the legal formalities, precisely as Jeremiah has done (verses 36-44). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:36-41

The refiner's fire. The better part of Judah were cast as precious metal into a crucible by their being sent into exile at Babylon. And the effect was as that which results from such purifying process. Note— I. WITHOUT DOUBT THEIR EXILE TRIED THEM AS FIRE . Fire is often the symbol of pain; and that there was indeed pain and sore distress in the exiles' lot is certain. Degradation, slavery, loss of their land, their high privileges as the people of God, in short, of... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 32:26-44

The answer is divided into two parts;(a) Jeremiah 32:26-35, the sins of Judah are shown to be the cause of her punishment:(b) Jeremiah 32:36-44, this punishment was not for Judah’s destruction, but for her amendment.Jeremiah 32:28I will give - Or, I am giving.Jeremiah 32:30From their youth - God’s mighty deeds for Israel began in Egypt Jeremiah 32:20, and so did Israel’s sin.Jeremiah 32:34, Jeremiah 32:35These verses are repeated from Jeremiah 7:30-31, but with two important variations. Baal is... read more
