Jeremiah 31:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 31:22

20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
^aTherefore My¹ heart yearns for him;
^bI will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.

21 “Set up signposts,
Make landmarks;
^aSet your heart toward the highway,
The way in which you went.
¹Turn back, O virgin of Israel,
Turn back to these your cities.

22 How long will you ^agad about,
O you ^bbacksliding daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth—
A woman shall encompass a man.”

Future Prosperity of Judah

23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: ^a‘The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and ^bmountain of holiness!’

24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and ^ain all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks.

25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”

26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was ^asweet to me.

27 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that ^aI will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast.

28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have ^awatched over them ^bto pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them ^cto build and to plant, says the Lord.
