Jeremiah 31:28 - Exposition

As I have watched … so will I watch, etc. The allusion is to the twofold commission given to the prophet ( Jeremiah 1:10 ), which was partly to pluck up and to destroy, partly to build and to plant. Jehovah has hitherto been "watchful" (another point of contact with Jeremiah 1:1-19 .; see on Jeremiah 1:12 ) over the fulfilment of the destructive prophecies; he will now be equally zealous for that of the promises of regeneration.
