Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Jeremiah 31:12. And sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd:

Jeremiah 31:12. And their soul shall be as a watered garden;

What a delightful simile! It is of little use for the body to be fed unless the soul also is well nourished: "Their soul shall be as a watered garden;"
