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;
