Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 42:10

Theological / Devotional

Build you. A reaffirmation of God’s intention toward His people (see chs. 1:10; 18:7-10; 24:4-6; see on ch. 32:41).

For I repent me. See on Num. 23:19. This does not mean sorrow for what was done in the past, as is true of men for their transgressions, but a change in God’s purpose from judgment to mercy because of the change of men’s attitude and action (see Jer. 18:8; 26:3; see on Joel 2:13).
