This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
(Psa 80:3; Jer 31:18). “Restore us to favor with Thee, and so we shall be restored to our old position” [Grotius]. Jeremiah is not speaking of spiritual conversion, but of that outward turning whereby God receives men into His fatherly favor, manifested in bestowing prosperity [Calvin]. Still, as Israel is a type of the Church, temporal goods typify spiritual blessings; and so the sinner may use this prayer for God to convert him.
