Isa 65:19, Jer 32:41, Zep 3:17 | JFB | e4.org | 19. ( ). weeping . . . no more — ( ), primarily, foretold of Jerusalem; secondarily, of all the redeemed.

‏ Isaiah 65:19

weeping . . . no more— (Isa 25:7, 8; 35:10; Re 7:17; 21:4), primarily, foretold of Jerusalem; secondarily, of all the redeemed.

‏ Jeremiah 32:41

41. rejoice over them— (De 30:9; Isa 62:5; 65:19; Zep 3:17).

plant . . . assuredly—rather, "in stability," that is, permanently, for ever (Jer 24:6; Am 9:15).

‏ Zephaniah 3:17

17. he will rest in his love—content with it as His supreme delight (compare Lu 15:7, 10) [CALVIN], (Isa 62:5; 65:19). Or, He shall be silent, namely as to thy faults, not imputing them to thee [MAURER] (Ps 32:2; Eze 33:16). I prefer explaining it of that calm silent joy in the possession of the object of one's love, too great for words to express: just as God after the six days of creation rested with silent satisfaction in His work, for "behold it was very good" (Ge 1:31; 2:2). So the parallel clause by contrast expresses the joy, not kept silent as this, but uttered in "singing."
