JEREMIAH CHAPTER 31



The restoration of Israel published, Jer_31:1-14. Rachel mourning is comforted, Jer_31:15-17. Ephraim repenting is brought home, Jer_31:18-21. Christ promised, Jer_31:22-26. His care over the church, Jer_31:27-30. His new covenant, Jer_31:31-34. The stability and enlargement of the church, Jer_31:35-40.



When the Lord’s anger shall turn, he having performed all the thoughts of his heart upon the wicked Israelites, he will declare himself not unmindful of the covenant which he made with Abraham and his seed, but will be their God, and they shall be the people of his favour, whom he will protect and bless. It is uncertain whether Israel here is to be taken in a more large sense, as it signifieth the whole twelve tribes, or only Judah, being that part of Israel which was before spoken of.
