26 At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
26 Just then I woke up and looked around - what a pleasant and satisfying sleep!
26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me.
26 At this, I woke up and looked around. My sleep had been very sweet.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:26
Commentary on Jeremiah 31:21-26
(Read Jeremiah 31:21-26)
The way from the bondage of sin to the liberty of God's children, is a high-way. It is plain, it is safe; yet none are likely to walk in it, unless they set their hearts towards it. They are encouraged by the promise of a new, unheard-of, extraordinary thing; a creation, a work of Almighty power; the human nature of Christ, formed and prepared by the power of the Holy Ghost: and this is here mentioned as an encouragement to the Jews to return to their own land. And a comfortable prospect is given them of a happy settlement there. Godliness and honesty God has joined: let no man think to put them asunder, or to make the one atone for the want of the other. In the love and favour of God the weary soul shall find rest, and the sorrowful shall find joy. And what can we see with more satisfaction than the good of Jerusalem, and peace upon Israel?
