Jeremiah 31:18

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Jeremiah 31:18. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus;

There is never a penitent in this world bemoaning himself without God hearing him. Do not think that a single penitential cry ever rises unheeded from a contrite heart. That cannot be; God has a quick ear for the cries of penitents.

Jeremiah 31:18. Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke:

"I bore the chastisement, but derived no benefit from it. I have not repented of my sin, I have not turned unto thee."

Jeremiah 31:18. Turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.

If the Lord undertakes to turn us, we shall be truly turned, that is, converted.
