Wesley: Jer 3:17 - Neither

Both Jews and Gentiles shall now conform themselves to the will of God.

JFB: Jer 3:17 - Jerusalem

The whole city, not merely the temple. As it has been the center of the Hebrew theocracy, so it shall be the point of attraction to the whole earth (Isa 2:2-4; Zec 2:10-11; Zec 14:16-21).

JFB: Jer 3:17 - throne of . . . Lord

The Shekinah, the symbol of God's peculiar nearness to Israel (Deu 4:7) shall be surpassed by the antitype, God's own throne in Jerusalem (Psa 2:6, Psa 2:8; Eze 34:23-24; Zec 2:5).

Clarke: Jer 3:17 - They shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord

They shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord - The new Jerusalem, the universal Church of Christ, shall be God’ s throne: and wherever he is acknowledged as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, there God sits on his throne, and holds his court.

Calvin: Jer 3:17 - NO PHRASE

We now understand more clearly what I have already said, — that the Prophet promises here that there would be concord between the ten tribes and the kingdom of Judah, when both returned from exile; as though he had said, that their condition would be better than it ever had been; for the seed of Abraham had been torn as it were asunder; and the people whom God intended that they should continue in a holy union had become divided in the most shameful manner. We indeed know that there had been inveterate hatred between the Jews and the Israelites. As then there had been such disgraceful division for a long time between the children of Abraham, the Prophet now shews what would be the fruit of exile; for after having been for a time chastised by the Lord, they would return to their own country, not to entertain the same emulation as had existed, but to unite together in calling on God, in order that the Jews might be as brethren to the Israelites, and the Israelites might cultivate mutual concord with the tribe of Judah.

Poole: Jer 3:17 - They shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord // All the nations shall be gathered unto it // nations // To the name of the Lord // Neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart // imagination

They shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord instead of the ark, whereon was the mercy-seat, now the church, typified by Jerusalem, Gal 4:26 Rev 21:2 , shall be the place of God’ s residence, where by his Spirit he will rule and act in his word and ordinances, and in special the Messias. See Jer 14:21 , and Jer 3:16.

All the nations shall be gathered unto it intimating both their readiness to come in, and their number, according to first prophecy of Jacob, Gen 49:10 . See Isa 2:2 . By

nations here understand either the ten tribes, who are called many people, both Israel and Judah united, their distance being taken away; see Jer 3:18 ; or rather some of all nations, that shall flock into the gospel church; for when the prophets foretell this state, they generally usher it in with the return of this people, at which time the church shall be greatly enlarged.

To the name of the Lord to Jerusalem, i.e. dwelling in Jerusalem, or where the Lord placed his name, viz. of old in Jerusalem, Psa 122:2,3 , &c., but now in the church, Rev 21:2,3 , without ark or temple, Rev 21:22 , where he will be known as it were by his proper name, Isa 60:9 , or as manifest in the flesh.

Neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart both Jew and Gentile shall now conform themselves to the will of God, Isa 2 3 . The word

imagination here comes from a root that signifies to see , and thus it is sometimes applied to the judgment, Psa 17:2 , and sometimes to the affection, Psa 66:18 ; here it may comprehend both, they will follow neither their own judgment nor affection, but wholly the word of God. The word is thus phrased Num 15:39 Ecc 11:9 ; some read it after the hardness , Deu 29:19 .

Haydock: Jer 3:17 - All

All. Many might embrace the Jewish religion. But the predictions of the prophets on this head, were not verified, till the gospel was preached. (Calmet) ---

Then many embraced the faith: several captives also returned to God. (Worthington)

Gill: Jer 3:17 - At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord // and all the nations shall be gathered unto it // to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord,.... That is, the Gospel church, the heavenly Jerusalem, the Jerusalem above, that is free, and the mother of us all; which is Christ's kingdom, where he has his throne and subjects, and where he sits and reigns as King of saints; and where they yield a cheerful and ready subjection to him, signified by calling the church his throne:

and all the nations shall be gathered unto it: which shows that Jerusalem, literally understood, cannot be meant, but the church of Christ; to which the Gentiles, being converted, should join themselves in great numbers in all nations, as they have done; and which will be more largely accomplished and verified in the latter day, Isa 2:2.

to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem; to name his name, to trust in his name, to call upon it, and to worship him in Jerusalem, in his church, and among his people; and so the Targum,

"and all nations shall give themselves to worship in it the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem:''

neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart; for the Gospel being preached to all nations, according to Christ's commission, by the pastors he promises, and that being blessed to the turning of the Gentiles from their idols to serve the living God, they shall no more worship the gods they chose for themselves, and their evil hearts devised.
