The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 3:1-5

The Possibility of Return v. 1. They say, literally, "Saying," God Himself being the subject of the sentence. If a man put away his wife, and she go from him and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Such dismissals were sometimes practiced among the Jews, but it was then unlawful for a man to take back his former wife, Deuteronomy 24:1-Numbers :. Shall not that land be greatly polluted? on account of the abomination connected with such practices. But thou hast played the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 3:6-25

The Call to Return v. 6. The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah, the king, an account which the prophet here inserts on account of the application. Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? Israel being called apostasy outright to emphasize the seriousness of her defection. She is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree and there hath played the harlot, in committing idolatry or spiritual adultery, the sanctuaries of idols being located in such... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 3:1-25

THE SECOND DISCOURSE(Jeremiah 3-6)This discourse, according to Jeremiah 3:6, belongs to the reign of Josiah, and moreover, according to Jeremiah 3:4; Jeremiah 3:10; Jeremiah 4:1 to the period of his reformation, which occupied from the twelfth to the eighteenth year of his reign. (2 Chronicles 34:3; 2 Chronicles 34:8; 2 Chronicles 35:19). Since Jeremiah began his ministry in the 13th year of Josiah, this discourse pertains to the period from the 13th to the 13th year of Josiah, consequently to... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Jeremiah 3:21-22

Jeremiah A COLLOQUY BETWEEN A PENITENT AND GOD Jer_3:21 - Jer_3:22 . We have here a brief dramatic dialogue. First is heard a voice from the bare heights, the sobs and cries of penitence, produced by the prophet’s earnest remonstrance. The penitent soul is absorbed in the thought of its own evil. Its sin stands clear before it. Israel sees its sin in its two forms. ‘They have perverted their way,’ or have led a wrong outward life of action, and the reason is that ‘they have forgotten God,’... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 3:11-25

Pleading with Faithless Children Jeremiah 3:11-25 ; Jeremiah 4:1-2 The people of the northern kingdom, to whom this appeal is especially addressed, were more excusable than Judah, because their privileges had been less. God judges us according to our opportunities. How precious the invitation and promise of Jeremiah 3:12 ! Confession is an essential condition that must be fulfilled by us. See 1 John 1:7 . Zion shall yet be the center of a restored Israel, Jeremiah 3:14 ; Jeremiah 3:18 . In... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

AN OBSOLETE WATCHWORD‘And it shall come to pass … they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind.’ Jeremiah 3:16 I. There was a time in Israel when the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord was the symbol of the national hopes and deliverances.—If Israel was smitten before her enemies, it was thither that the people turned for help. On one memorable occasion they brought from Shiloh the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord of Hosts, which dwelleth between the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:17

THE SACRED METROPOLIS‘They shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it.’ Jeremiah 3:17 Jerusalem is now to be in relation to the nations. I. All Jerusalem is now to be the throne of the Lord.—The prophet’s glance penetrates to the remotest distance, without distinguishing the progressive stages into which the final period itself is divided. While this prophecy in itself requires limitation, it may be used also in a wider sense, so that the... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:1-25

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
