Jeremías 23:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:3

And I will gather the remnant of my flock, out of all
countries
Such of them as did not perish by the sword, famine, and pestilence, or died not in captivity, and chose not to remain in the kingdom where they were; for all did not return upon the edict of Cyrus: though some think this is to be understood of the gathering of God's elect, the remnant according to the election of grace, the children of God that were scattered abroad, by the sufferings and death of Christ, the Shiloh, to whom the gathering of the people should be, hereafter prophesied of: whither I have driven them;
this, which is before charged upon the pastors, is taken by the Lord to himself; because this was not only permitted by him, namely, the dispersion and captivity of the Jews, but was inflicted by him as a punishment upon them for their sins, and the sins of their governors; but yet such was the mercy and goodness of God, as to return a remnant of them: and will bring them again to their folds;
to the city of Jerusalem, and their dwelling houses there, and in other places; an emblem of the Lord's bringing his chosen remnant, whether Jews or Gentiles, into a good fold and good pastures, to a Gospel church state, and the ordinances of it, ( John 10:16 ) ; and they shall be fruitful and increase;
the remnant of the flock returned to their own land and dwellings, and there grow numerous, and increase in wealth and riches; as Christ's spiritual sheep, gathered into his fold, become fruitful in grace and good works, and increase with the increase of God.

2 Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, acerca de los pastores que apacientan a mi pueblo: Vosotros habéis dispersado mis ovejas y las habéis ahuyentado, y no os habéis ocupado de ellas; he aquí, yo me ocuparé de vosotros por la maldad de vuestras obrasdeclara el SEÑOR.

3 Yo mismo reuniré el remanente de mis ovejas de todas las tierras adonde las he echado, y las haré volver a sus pastos; y crecerán y se multiplicarán.

4 Pondré sobre ellas pastores que las apacentarán, y nunca más tendrán temor, ni se aterrarán, ni faltará ningunadeclara el SEÑOR

5 He aquí, vienen díasdeclara el SEÑOR en que levantaré a David un Renuevo justo; y El reinará como rey, actuará sabiamente, y practicará el derecho y la justicia en la tierra.
