Parallels

  • Genesis 3:16 (verbal): Jeremiah's image of a woman encircling a man functions as an intentional reversal/antithesis of the Genesis curse ('your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you'), signaling a restored or transformed social order.
  • Isaiah 43:19 (verbal): Both verses use the language of God doing 'a new thing' on the earth; Isaiah's announcement of a new act of God provides a close verbal and thematic parallel to Jeremiah's claim that the Lord has 'created a new thing.'
  • Revelation 21:5 (allusion): The New Testament refrain 'Behold, I make all things new' echoes the prophetic motif of divine new-creation found in Jeremiah 31:22, linking Israel's restoration language with the eschatological renewal in Revelation.
  • Hosea 2:19-20 (thematic): Hosea portrays Israel as an unfaithful woman whom God will renew, betroth and restore — a parallel marital/relational motif of judgment turned to intimate restoration like Jeremiah's 'faithless daughter' and the new ordering described in v.22.
  • Ezekiel 36:26-27 (thematic): Ezekiel's promise of a 'new heart' and a transformed people resonates with Jeremiah's 'new thing' language: both prophets announce divine restorative action that re-creates Israel's inner and social reality.

  • And the whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD. It shall not be uprooted or overthrown anymore forever.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

For behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah; I will bring them back to the land that I gave their fathers, and they shall possess it.

These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

For thus says the LORD: We have heard a sound of panic—terror; there is no peace.

Ask now and see: a man in travail? Why did I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in childbirth, and every face turned pale?

Alas! For that day is great—it is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob, yet out of it he shall be saved. And on that day, declares the LORD of hosts, I will break the yoke from off his neck and burst his bonds; foreigners shall no longer enslave him.

They shall serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. And you, do not fear, my servant Jacob, declares the LORD, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save you from afar and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob shall return and be at ease and secure, and none shall make him afraid.

For I am with you, declares the LORD, to save you; though I make an end of all the nations among which I scatter you, yet I will not make an end of you. I will discipline you with justice; I will by no means leave you unpunished.

For thus says the LORD: Your hurt is incurable, your wound is grievous.

There is no one to plead your cause to bind up your wound; you have no healing.

All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you. For I have struck you down with the wound of an enemy; the punishment of many is upon you because your guilt increased.

Why do you cry out over your hurt? Your pain is incurable; because the multitude of your iniquity, your sins have done these things to you.

Therefore all who eat you shall be eaten, and every adversary of yours shall go into captivity; those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will give for a prey.

For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, declares the LORD; for they have called you an outcast, saying: ‘Zion—she has no one to seek her.’ Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and will have mercy on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt on its mound, and the palace shall stand where it once was.

Out of them shall go thanksgiving and the sound of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will honor them, and they shall not be small.

Their children shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them.

Their leader shall be one of their own; their ruler shall proceed from their midst; I will bring him near, and he shall come to me. Who then is this who has pledged his heart to come near to me? declares the LORD.

You shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD—his fierce anger—goes forth like a sweeping storm; it will whirl down on the head of the wicked.

The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has done it and until he has carried out the purposes of his heart; in the latter days you will understand this.

At that time, declares the LORD, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus says the LORD: The remnant of the sword found favor in the wilderness; Israel went to seek rest.

The LORD appeared to me from afar: I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my steadfast love to you.

Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin Israel; again you shall take up your tambourines and go out in the dances of those who make merry.

Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit.

For there shall be a day when watchmen call in the hill country of Ephraim: ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God.’

For thus says the LORD: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chiefs of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say: ‘Save, O LORD, your people, the remnant of Israel.’

Behold, I will bring them from the north country and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth—among them the blind and the lame, the pregnant and she who is in labor; a great company shall return here.

They shall come with weeping; they shall pray to me; I will lead them beside streams of water, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands far away; say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’

For the LORD has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from hands too strong for him.

They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion; they shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD—over grain, wine, oil, and the young of the flock and herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall never languish again.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young and the old together; I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.

I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the LORD. Thus says the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah—lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more. Thus says the LORD: Restrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for there is a reward for your work, declares the LORD; they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

There is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children shall come back to their own country.

I have heard Ephraim bewailing himself thus: ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like an untrained calf; bring me back, and I will return, for you are the LORD my God.’

Surely after I turned, I repented; and after I was taught, I struck upon my thigh; I was ashamed—yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a pleasant child? For though I spoke against him, I remember him still; therefore my inward parts yearn for him; I will surely have mercy on him, declares the LORD.

Set up road signs; put up landmarks; make for yourself a level road; return, O virgin Israel, return to your cities.

How long will you keep turning away, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land: a woman shall surround a man. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: In the land of Judah and in its towns, when I restore their fortunes, they will say, ‘The LORD bless you, O habitation of righteousness, O holy hill!’ And Judah shall dwell there and all its towns together—farmers and those who drive flocks.

For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.

At this I awoke and looked; my sleep was sweet to me.

Behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. And it shall be, as I watched over them to root up and to pull down and to destroy and to bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the LORD.

In those days they shall no longer say, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ But every one shall die for his own iniquity; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth shall be set on edge.

Behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Thus says the LORD: If the fixed order of the sun by day, the moon and the stars by night, and the laws of the sea were to depart from before me,

then also would the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever. But these ordinances shall not depart. Thus says the LORD: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out below, then I will reject all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the LORD.

Behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when the city shall be rebuilt for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. And the measuring line shall go out farther, over the hill Gareb, and shall then go to Goah. And the whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate eastward, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be uprooted or overthrown any more forever.
