From Afar to Forever: Verb Forms and Covenant Love in Jeremiah 31:3
מֵרָחֹ֕וק יְהוָ֖ה נִרְאָ֣ה לִ֑י וְאַהֲבַ֤ת עֹולָם֙ אֲהַבְתִּ֔יךְ עַל־כֵּ֖ן מְשַׁכְתִּ֥יךְ חָֽסֶד׃
Contextual Introduction
Jeremiah 31:3 is a centerpiece of hope within the so-called “Book of Consolation” (Jeremiah 30–33), where the prophet records YHWH’s promises of restoration after judgment. In stark contrast to earlier messages of doom, this verse expresses eternal love and covenantal faithfulness. It contains some of the most theologically charged Hebrew poetry in prophetic literature and demonstrates how verb forms and syntax can intensify emotional and spiritual meaning.
