Jeremiah 31:36 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 31:36

34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for ^athey all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For ^bI will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

35 Thus says the Lord,
^aWho gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs ^bthe sea,
And its waves roar
^c(The Lord of hosts is His name):

36 “If ^athose ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”

37 Thus says the Lord:
^a“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also ^bcast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord ^afrom the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.

39 ^aThe surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath.

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, ^ato the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, ^bshall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”
