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 3:1-25

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6-11

YHWH Calls On Judah To Consider what Had Happened To Israel, Her Northern Neighbour, When She Had Failed To Turn Back To Him, Something That Judah Is Also Failing To Do (Jeremiah 3:6-11 ). YHWH here refers Judah back to consideration of the behaviour of Israel, her erstwhile northern neighbour whose land had been devastated and had by now been taken over by strangers. Because backsliding Israel had herself ‘played the harlot’ on every high hill and every green tree, and had subsequently... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6-25

Subsection 2). YHWH’s Solemn Warning To Judah In The Days Of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 6:30 ). This section can be divided into four parts: · Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 4:2. Israel is held up as an example to Judah, both of faithlessness and of hope for the future. For because of what they had done Israel were in exile, and were ashamed of their ways, but if only they would turn to Him in their exile they would be restored. For them there was hope. It was very different with... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:12-19

A Brief Glimpse Of The Future Establishment Of The Everlasting Kingdom (Jeremiah 3:12-19 ). Having established that Judah was even more guilty than Israel YHWH now breaks into the message of gloom by demonstrating hope for the future for Israel. On the basis of His great mercy He called through Jeremiah for Israel’s return to the land. This was a flash-forward into the future. While at present she was in exile, if she would only admit her backsliding and repent He promises that He will bring... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 3:6-18

Jeremiah 3:6-Job : . Israel’ s Sin less than Judah’ s.— This passage interrupts the continuity of Jeremiah 3:19 with Jeremiah 3:5 (note also the interruptive introductory formula, Jeremiah 3:6), and seems to be a separate prophecy, though it employs the predominant figure of this section, i.e. the marriage of Yahweh and His people, and is probably by Jeremiah (to Jeremiah 3:16). The northern kingdom was faithless to this marriage, through the Baal-cult; Yahweh waited for her return in vain (... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 3:6

The Lord said also, or again; showing that here begins a new sermon, in which the prophet from God, 1. Declares Israel’s apostacy, and how it fared with them for it. 2. Aggravates Judah’s sin for not taking warning. 3. Issues forth an invitation of them both to repentance, with a promise of acceptation, and reuniting them under the Messiah. 4. Relates the compliance of the faithful among them with this invitation. Unto me, viz. by revelation; for he speaks of things that Israel had done when... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 3:7

Turn thou unto me, viz. by repentance, Acts 3:19. Although she had been so vile and abominable, yet the Lord waited in expectation of her return. Her treacherous sister Judah: Benjamin is also here comprised, but Judah being the chief is only named, these two abiding together after the other ten revolted to Jeroboam; called Israel’s sister, because they were all descended from the patriarch Jacob, Ezekiel 16:46; compare Ezekiel 23:2,Ezekiel 23:4; and treacherous, or the treacherous one, because... read more
