Jer. 16:2 As a symbol to the nation, Jeremiah is instructed not to marry. Such living messages were intended to shock the people into repentance (see 13:1–14). Singleness, however, will prove to be a blessing for Jeremiah (16:3–4).
Jer. 16:5 God commands Jeremiah not to attend funerals or mourn the dead, again as a testimony that God has taken away his peace. God’s protection (steadfast love) is based on his grace and Israel’s covenant faithfulness.
Jer. 16:13 a land. A place of exile (15:14). serve other gods. The ultimate punishment (Deut. 28:64). no favor. A reversal of Ex. 34:6–7.
Jer. 16:14–15 God will restore Israel after exile. This renewal will be so astounding it will be greater than the first exodus (32:37; see Deut. 30:1–10).
Jer. 16:19–20 Jeremiah’s confession of faith indicates he has repented, as he was ordered to do (15:19–21). The nations will come to Yahweh, rejecting their idols (10:1–16) and confessing that Yahweh alone is God and is able to save.
