Jeremiah 3:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 3:16

14 “Return, O backsliding children,” says the Lord; ^a“for I am married to you. I will take you, ^bone from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to ^cZion.

15 And I will give you ^ashepherds according to My heart, who will ^bfeed you with knowledge and understanding.

16 “Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and ^aincreased in the land in those days,” says the Lord, “that they will say no more, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ ^bIt shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.

17 “At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, ^ato the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem. No more shall they ^bfollow the dictates of their evil hearts.

18 “In those days ^athe house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of ^bthe north to ^cthe land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.

19 “But I said:
‘How can I put you among the children
And give you ^aa pleasant land,
A beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations?’ “And I said:
‘You shall call Me, ^b“My Father,”
And not turn away from Me.’

20 Surely, as a wife treacherously departs from her¹ husband,
So ^ahave you dealt treacherously with Me,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
