Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 31:12

_ _ height of Zion — (Ezekiel 17:23).

_ _ flow — There shall be a conflux of worshippers to the temple on Zion (Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1).

_ _ to the goodness of ... Lord — (See Jeremiah 31:14). Beneficence, that is, to the Lord as the source of all good things (Hosea 3:5), to pray to Him and praise Him for these blessings of which He is the Fountainhead.

_ _ watered garden — (Isaiah 58:11). Not merely for a time, but continually full of holy comfort.

_ _ not sorrow any more — referring to the Church triumphant, as well as to literal Israel (Isaiah 35:10; Isaiah 65:19; Revelation 21:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 31:10-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 31:12

And sing — All the phrases in this verse signify one thing, the happy state of the Jews, after their return from captivity. The height of Zion means the temple. A watered garden — They shall be a beautiful, flourishing, and growing people. Soul seems here to be taken for the whole man. Not sorrow — In that manner they have been. But under these expressions is also promised the spiritual joy which the true Israel of God will have under the gospel, and the eternal joy they shall have in heaven.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 31:12

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for (q) grain, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

(q) By these temporal benefits he means the spiritual graces which are in the Church, and of which there would ever be plenty, (Isaiah 58:11-12).
