Jeremiah 23:7,8 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore, behold, &c.— See ch. Jeremiah 16:14. "One proverb shall give way to another, when the greater deliverance shall put the less out of remembrance. This wonderful work of God, in restoring the Jewish nation after their dispersion in every part of the world, will so far exceed the miracles which he wrought in their deliverance out of Egypt, that the latter will not deserve to be mentioned with the former." St. Paul calls this restoration of the Jews life from the dead, Romans 11:15 that is, it would be a miracle as surprising as if a dead body was restored again to life. See Bishop Chandler's Defence.

Jeremiah 23:7-8

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
