Jeremiah 3:17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

At that time Of reformation, διορθωσεως, emendation, (Hebrews 9:10,) when things should be put into a better state by the coming of the Messiah; they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord Instead of the ark, the Christian Church, typified by Jerusalem, shall be the place of God's special residence, power, and glory; where he will rule and act, and display his glory, in and by his word and ordinances, and especially in and by the Messiah. And all the nations shall be gathered unto it Not only the Jews and Israelites, but many of all nations: many of the heathen shall be brought to worship the true God, and to embrace the Christian faith. To the name of the Lord Which shall be both manifested and called upon in his church, as formerly at Jerusalem. Neither shall they walk, &c. Both Jews and Gentiles shall now conform themselves to the will of God. The word שׁררות, here rendered imagination, is derived from a root that signifies to see, and is sometimes applied to the judgment, and sometimes to the affections. Here it may comprehend both: they shall neither follow their own corrupt judgment nor affection, but wholly the word of God.
