Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 3:16

_ _ they shall say no more — The Jews shall no longer glory in the possession of the ark; it shall not be missed, so great shall be the blessings of the new dispensation. The throne of the Lord, present Himself, shall eclipse and put out of mind the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat between the cherubim, God’s former throne. The ark, containing the two tables of the law, disappeared at the Babylonian captivity, and was not restored to the second temple, implying that the symbolical “glory” was to be superseded by a “greater glory” (Haggai 2:9).

_ _ neither ... visit it — rather, “neither shall it be missed” (so in Jeremiah 23:4).

_ _ done — rather, “neither shall it (the ark) be made (that is, be restored) any more” [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 3:12-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 3:16

Multiplied — After the growth of the church under the Messiah. The ark — That whole worship with all the rites and ceremonies belonging to it shall cease, Christ being come, who was the substance of what the ark, and all other rites shadowed. Covenant — Called also the ark of the testimony, because the two tables of the law, which were the testimony, or witness of the covenant were in it. Any more — It shall be no more in use; neither shall men trouble their thoughts about it, or mention it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 3:16

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The (q) ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss [it]; neither shall [that] be done any more.

(q) This is to be understood of the coming of Christ: for then they will not seek the Lord by ceremonies, and all figures will cease.
