Commentary on Jeremiah 7:23

Theological / Devotional

I will be your God. See Ex. 6:7; Lev. 26:12; Deut. 29:13. The phrase occurs repeatedly in Jeremiah (chs. 11:4; 24:7; 30:22; 31:3; 32:38).

All the ways. This passage is similar to that found in Deut. 5:33 (see Deut. 9:12, 16 ; 11:28; 31:29).

That it may be well. A common phrase in Jeremiah (see chs. 38:20; 40:9; 42:6), found also in the book of Deuteronomy (see Deut. 4:40 ; 5:16, 33; 6:18).
