25 I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint."
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
25 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish."
25 I'll refresh tired bodies; I'll restore tired souls.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul."
25 For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:25
Commentary on Jeremiah 31:21-26
(Read Jeremiah 31:21-26)
The way from the bondage of sin to the liberty of God's children, is a high-way. It is plain, it is safe; yet none are likely to walk in it, unless they set their hearts towards it. They are encouraged by the promise of a new, unheard-of, extraordinary thing; a creation, a work of Almighty power; the human nature of Christ, formed and prepared by the power of the Holy Ghost: and this is here mentioned as an encouragement to the Jews to return to their own land. And a comfortable prospect is given them of a happy settlement there. Godliness and honesty God has joined: let no man think to put them asunder, or to make the one atone for the want of the other. In the love and favour of God the weary soul shall find rest, and the sorrowful shall find joy. And what can we see with more satisfaction than the good of Jerusalem, and peace upon Israel?
