Jeremiah 32:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:15

For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel
Who is the Lord God Almighty, and can do what he pleases; and is the covenant God of his people, and therefore will do them good by all his providences in the issue of things: houses, and fields, and vineyards, shall be possessed in this land;
or "bought" ^F25 in it; of which the prophet's buying this field was a pledge and earnest; signifying, that though the city now besieged should be taken, and the people carried captive, yet they should return to their own land, and purchase and enjoy houses, fields, and vineyards again, as at the present time.

Jeremiah 32:15 In-Context

13 Before them all I said to Baruch,

14 "The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, has ordered you to take these deeds, both the sealed deed of purchase and the open copy, and to place them in a clay jar, so that they may be preserved for years to come.

15 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, has said that houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land."

16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch, I prayed,

17 "Sovereign Lord, you made the earth and the sky by your great power and might; nothing is too difficult for you.
