Jeremiah 3:14
_ _ I am married — literally, “I am Lord,” that is, husband to you (so Jeremiah 31:32; compare Hosea 2:19, Hosea 2:20; Isaiah 54:5). Gesenius, following the Septuagint version of Jeremiah 31:32, and Paul’s quotation of it (Hebrews 8:9), translates, “I have rejected you”; so the corresponding Arabic, and the idea of lordship, may pass into that of looking down upon, and so rejecting. But the Septuagint in this passage translates, “I will be Lord over you.” And the “for” has much more force in English Version than in that of Gesenius. The Hebrew hardly admits the rendering though [Hengstenberg].
_ _ take you one of a city — Though but one or two Israelites were in a (foreign) city, they shall not be forgotten; all shall be restored (Amos 9:9). So, in the spiritual Israel, God gathers one convert here, another there, into His Church; not the least one is lost (Matthew 18:14; Romans 11:5; compare Jeremiah 24:5-7).
_ _ family — a clan or tribe. |
Jeremiah 3:14
I am married — I am in covenant with you, and this covenant notwithstanding all your unfaithfulness, I am ready to renew with you. Family — This word is taken frequently for a country or nation, and this may partly respect the fewness of those that will return. But chiefly it respects God's exact care of them, that being now married to them, there shall not be one in a city, or two in a country or tribe, but he will find them out. Zion — The ten tribes did never return into their own land, therefore this must be understood of a spiritual going up to Zion, when all Israel shall be saved, Romans 11:26. |
- O backsliding:
Jeremiah 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that [it is] an evil [thing] and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear [is] not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Jeremiah 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
