Jeremías 31:17

17 Se vislumbra esperanza en tu futuro:tus hijos volverán a su patria—afirma el SEÑOR—.

Jeremías 31:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 31:17

And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord
Or, "hope for thy posterity" F18; for their children that had been massacred, that these should rise again, and enjoy a blessed immortality, as the next clause seems to explain and confirm it: that thy children shall come again to their own border:
either to the border of the land of Israel, as Joseph, Mary, and Jesus did, ( Matthew 2:21 Matthew 2:22 ) ; or rather to the borders of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, where this cruel murder was committed; and so the intimation is, that they shall rise again, and stand upon that very spot of ground where their blood was split; and not only so, but enter into and dwell upon the new earth in the Jerusalem state; and also enter into the heavenly Canaan, and dwell with Christ for evermore, on whose account their lives were taken away.

Jeremías 31:17 In-Context

15 Así dice el SEÑOR:«Se oye un grito en Ramá,lamentos y amargo llanto.Es Raquel, que llora por sus hijosy no quiere ser consolada;¡sus hijos ya no existen!»
16 Así dice el SEÑOR:«Reprime tu llanto,las lágrimas de tus ojos,pues tus obras tendrán su recompensa:tus hijos volverán del país enemigo—afirma el SEÑOR—.
17 Se vislumbra esperanza en tu futuro:tus hijos volverán a su patria—afirma el SEÑOR—.
18 »Por cierto, he escuchado el lamento de Efraín:“Me has escarmentado como a un ternero sin domar,y he aceptado tu corrección.Hazme volver, y seré restaurado;porque tú, mi Dios, eres el SEÑOR.
19 Yo me aparté, pero me arrepentí;al comprenderlo me di golpes de pecho.Me siento avergonzado y humilladoporque cargo con el oprobio de mi juventud”.
