  2. Explication du texte

Who will the Lord have compassion on by “bringing them each to his heritage and each to his land”?

Jérémie 12:16 (NEG79)

16 Et s'ils apprennent les voies de mon peuple, S'ils jurent par mon nom, en disant: L'Eternel est vivant! Comme ils ont enseigné à mon peuple à jurer par Baal, Alors ils jouiront du bonheur au milieu de mon peuple.

The Lord will have compassion on the people of Judah as he restores them to the heritage he has given them by returning them to their land. This promise of restoration is mentioned throughout the Old Testament including many passages in Jeremiah (Jeremiah 16:15; Jeremiah 23:3; Jeremiah 24:6; Jeremiah 27:22; Jeremiah 29:10, Jeremiah 29:14; Jeremiah 30:3; Jeremiah 32:37; Jeremiah 33:10–11, Jeremiah 33:26).1 The Lord’s covenant with Israel also included this promise of restoration after exile (Deuteronomy 30:1–5).
