This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the potter's house. Note the lesson, set to Jeremiah there: that Jehovah never mends what man has marred. He always substitutes something new. The interpretation belongs to "THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL", and, that being "marred", the new "nation" is to be substituted. See Mat_21:43. Compare Rom_11:7. Eze_36:25-28. The application belongs to:
(1) THE COVENANT (Deu_6:25), but it was marred (Jer_31:32): for the New Covenant, see Heb_8:7-13.
(2) ORDINANCES, marred (Isa_1:11-14); new (Heb_10:6-9. Col_2:14, Col_2:17. Gal_1:4, Gal_1:3, Gal_1:8-11).
(3) PRIESTHOOD (Heb_7:11-28).
(4) KING (2Sa_7:12-16). Compare Psa 72. Isa_9:6; Isa_11:1-9; Isa_32:1-8. Luk_1:31-33.
(5) MAN, marred (Gen 3, Rom_8:7. Rom_17:9. Psa_14:2; Psa_53:2. Joh_3:6); new (2Co_5:17, 2Co_5:18).
(6) THE BODY, marred (Gen 3, Heb_9:27); the new (1Co_15:35, 1Co_15:44, 1Co_15:46, 1Co_15:47).
(7) THE HEAVEN AND EARTH, marred (Gen 3, 2Pe_3:7); the new (2Pe_3:13). Psa_85:10, Psa_85:13. Isa_65:17, &c.
(8) THE CHURCH, marred (2Ti_1:15 (compare Act_19:10; Act_20:29); Jer_2:18; Jer_3:8; Jer_4:3, Jer_4:4); new (Eph_2:20-22; Eph_4:4).
