Where is their tribal register now? My object, therefore, will be to set before you a fourfold contrast between the covenant that is passed away and the covenant that shall not pass away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong>The first contrast I notice is the passing away of the Jewish land, and the sure continuation of a better land in its place. In the second verse of this same chapter where our text is it saith, An end, the end;&#8211;that is a remarkable form of speech&#8211;An end, the end,&#8211;the ultimate end, as it means, the final end&#8211;is come upon the four corners of the land. Let us then see what we have to put in the place thereof, after just observing that that land was to pass away by violence, by war, famine, and pestilence, and everything that was awful. Now we go to the 60th of Isaiah, and we get something to put in the place thereof. There is a land of which it is written, Violence shall no more be heard in thee, etc. And what land is this? Why, the land spoken of in the 1st chapter of the First Epistle of Peter,&#8211;an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away. Here, then, by Jesus Christ, we have a land into which no violence can come. No sin can defile the Saviour, and no sin can defile the people as they stand in Christ, and no sin can defile that heavenly land into which He hath entered. There is therefore no violence. Violence shall no more be heard in thee. Jesus is not crucified there, but glorified; the people are not persecuted and hated there, but universally loved. The people have no pain, no sorrow, no sigh, no tear there. And this blessedness, in place of the old land, is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And now mark,&#8211;Thou shalt call thy walls salvation; that is, salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks; so that God will take care of you as a citizen by salvation; He is round about you by the perfect work of Jesus Christ. Can you think of a position so lovely as this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong>The second contrast I give is that in verse 11&#8211;Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them shall remain, etc. Here is a positive declaration. Now go to the Saviours day, and see how literally this is fulfilled. Was not the government of the Pharisees, as described in the 23rd of Matthew, a sceptre or rod of wickedness? They must be taken away, and taken away forever. Now let us look at the contrast to this. Let us come to the new covenant, and hear what is said there. In the new covenant the Lord speaketh thus:&#8211;For as the new heavens&#8211;meaning the Christian economy of eternal salvation and the new earth&#8211;meaning in substance the same thing&#8211;which I will make&#8211;and which were made when Christ was on the earth, for when Christ was on the earth He made, as it were, a new earth; that is, He established a new life, a new inheritance, a new kingdom, a new heaven, old things passed away, all things become new;&#8211;As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. All now is spiritual. The time is come when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong>The third contrast I notice is, I think, a very strong one. The seller shall not return to that which is sold. Now, this seems a simple declaration, but it means a great deal more than may at first sight appear. Under the Old Testament dispensation when a man waxed poor, he sold his inheritance, but he sold it only up to the day of jubilee. Then, when the jubilee came, that man without money, without price, by virtue of the order of things that God had established, returned to his inheritance. Now, this chapter says The seller, alluding to that same circumstance, shall not return to that which is sold. The meaning of it, therefore, is,&#8211;there shall never be another jubilee, and there has not been from that day to this, and there never will be down to the end of time. Where shall I now find the true jubilee? Why, in Christ. He has paid the mighty debt we owed; He has set the prisoners free; He brings His brethren into the inheritance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong>Is there from the first chapter of Matthew to the last of Revelation a single hint about the restoration of the old Jerusalem? The Saviour says, Your house is left unto you desolate. Does He say it shall some day be restored? Does He say, Your house is left unto you desolate till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord? No, He says no such thing. He says, Ye shall not see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. If I should get an invitation to preach in some Jewish synagogue, where they wanted to hear the Gospel, what would that be but their saying, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord? that is, in the name of Jesus Christ. And if God were to open their eyes, and they should see Jesus, what would they say then? Ah, they would say, let the shadow go; let us have the substance. Let the ceremonial go; let us have the vital, the living, the eternal. They would turn their backs upon the temporal, and look at those things which are eternal.

But this does not seem suitable. But, under one member, the Prophet comprehends what I have lately said &#8212; that the disturbance of all things would be so great, that the lands would be deprived of their masters, and those who formerly possessed them would be outcasts and exiles; they would be in want of all things, and be unable to plant their foot on their own soil. Nor is this opinion contrary to Jeremiah&#8217;s prophecy. (<span class='bible'>Jer 32:7<\/span>.) When Jeremiah was in prison, he was commanded to buy land from a relation: but that was done that the faithful might hope for their promised restitution with quiet minds. But the discourse is now directed to the reprobate, who were excluded from all hope of freedom. Our Prophet, therefore, only fulminates here in God&#8217;s name, and breathes nothing but terrors; there is no mention of favor in the meantime, because they had cast themselves into despair. And this is the reason why he speaks of perpetual slaughter. He says, therefore,  they shall not return to the things sold, although their life is among the living  This clause is variously explained, but I do not willingly consume time in repeating the errors of others: I shall follow what appears to me to be right. First, this clause must be read adversatively: he says, indeed,  and as yet their life is among the living:  but the copula ought thus to be resolved &#8212; although their life is among the living. The Prophet seems to allude to a custom then common. For there was not a sale of lands in perpetuity among the sons of Abraham; for that was forbidden by the law, because they were only strangers in the land. (<span class='bible'>Lev 25:13<\/span>.) God, therefore, in claiming the dominion of the land, did not permit them to sell their land except for a time &#8212; for every fiftieth year they returned to their own possessions. If they sold in the twentieth year, they were restored after thirty years; if in the fortieth, the sale was only for ten years, through the occurrence of the Jubilee. Now therefore the Prophet says,  although they remain survivors, yet they shall not return  Why? for the captivity will hinder them. Now, therefore, we understand the Prophet&#8217;s meaning:  those who sold,  says he,  shall suffer no loss  For if they had remained at home, they would have been deprived of their possessions; but this shall not happen, for they shall be dragged to a distant region, and there they shall live and die exiles. But if they should protract their life even to the hundredth year, yet their possession will remain deserted, because the conquerors will not allow them to return to their country. Hence the miserable condition of the exiles is denoted, since, if God were to prolong their life, they would still be compelled to consume it in poverty and want, since they had been driven away from their lands and were unable to return to them. <\/p>\n<p> He adds,  because the vision shall not return upon all the multitude of them  Here also interpreters differ. For some distinguish this part into two clauses, because the vision was for the whole people, nor had any one been converted or repented. This opinion is plausible, because it contains a useful and fruitful doctrine, which is everywhere met with among the Prophets. For we know that nothing is less tolerable to God, than when men, admonished by Prophets, do not return to a sound mind, but go on in their wickedness. Since, therefore, such obstinacy exceedingly provokes God&#8217;s anger, this sense seems to suit well enough &#8212; that the vision was for the whole multitude, and yet none repented; that is, that God exhorted all, from the least to the greatest, to repentance; for all were deaf, and, as it were, desperate in their vices. Although, therefore, this exposition seems probable, I do not adopt it: for I doubt not the Prophet&#8217;s meaning to be that  the vision concerning the whole multitude should not return;  that is, be in vain. And thus also Isaiah speaks when he says, thy word shall not return to me void, (<span class='bible'>Isa 55:11<\/span>,) for he means that prophecies are always joined with their effects. Some turn this to the fruit of the doctrine, because God will always have some disciples who will embrace the prophetic word. But this is foreign to the purpose. The Prophet rather means that hypocrites will be greatly deceived, while they think God&#8217;s word to be an empty sound, by which the air only is struck. Hence he says that God&#8217;s word will not want its effect., because God will fulfill whatever he pronounces &#8212; whether he promise safety to the faithful, or denounce destruction on the reprobate. As therefore Isaiah says God&#8217;s word shall not return to him fruitless, since he will prosper it, so our Prophet denies that God&#8217;s word should return after it had been promulgated against the whole multitude.  The vision,  therefore, is taken here for the prophetic doctrine; but there is no doubt that he restricts the vision to God&#8217;s judgment.  The vision,  therefore,  was towards the whole multitude, nor shall it return;  that is, it shall be certainly executed. Afterwards he adds, and a man shall not strengthen his soul in his iniquity  Others term it &#8212; in the iniquity of his soul: but since the relative is double, this opinion cannot stand; but others take it otherwise. But I am unwilling to hold you in suspense here, and it seems to me that nothing is more useful than to investigate the genuine sense of the Prophet. I have no doubt the Prophet here confirms what we have now explained &#8212; that it is vain for the despisers of God to hope to escape, because when God executes his vengeance, he will hold them in his grasp. For as to what others say, that they have not fortified their soul on account of iniquity; that is, that they were so bound down to their sinfulness, that they did not lift up their minds and desires to the hope of safety, that sense is too forced. Therefore the Prophet confirms what we now see, namely, that his threats should not return empty, because God would take away all material for confidence from the hypocrites and despisers of his teaching. For the impious wrestle against God, and oppose their own obstinacy and hardness, as if by violence they could break and destroy his word. Since, therefore, the wicked precipitate themselves so boldly, says the Prophet,  they shall not fortify themselves by iniquity unto life;  that is, they shall strive in vain to obtain life by their iniquity, which is not sufficient for resistance. I do not understand &#8212; on account of their iniquity; because he simply denounces that obstinacy should be in vain, which profane men use as a shield against God, and its force be reduced to nothing. They shall not fortify themselves ,  therefore,  in life,  or by iniquity, unto life; that is, by that obstinate wickedness by which they think themselves superior. Let us, therefore, from this place learn to tremble at God&#8217;s threats, and always to have their effect before our eyes, as the Apostle says &#8212; Noah saw by faith the deluge which was hidden, (<span class='bible'>Heb 11:7<\/span>,) because, whilst others indulged themselves, he was always reflecting during one hundred and twenty years how horrible that vengeance would be. So, therefore, when God has spoken, may we immediately apprehend his judgment, as if it were clear before our eyes; and let us especially beware of that obstinacy which will assuredly be in vain, because we hear what the Prophet here denounces.

Among the Israelites the most important buying and selling was that of land, and it was provided in the law (<span class='bible'>Lev. 25:14-16<\/span>) that this should in no case extend beyond the year of jubilee, when all land must revert to its possessor by inheritance. The seller in that year should return to his possession. Now it is foretold that the desolation shall continue so long that, even if the seller lived, he should be unable to avail himself of the jubilee year. It is a natural thing to rejoice in the purchase of property, and to mourn over its sale, but when slavery and captivity stare you in the face, rejoicing and mourning are equally absurd (S. Jerome). The idea of the latter part of the verse is, that no one shall grow strong since his life is passed in iniquity.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Ellicott&#8217;s Commentary for English Readers (Old and New Testaments)<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> <strong> 13<\/strong>. <strong> <\/strong> <strong> The seller shall not return to that which is sold <\/strong> Any price that he can get for his property is clear gain; but he need not insist upon a lease, or his rights in the year of jubilee, for there is to be no return.

Very few of those who left their houses and were carried into Babylon ever returned (<span class='bible'>Ezr 3:12<\/span>), and those who did return found their houses in ashes and do not appear to have made any claims of private rights of property (<span class='bible'>Neh 11:1<\/span>). <\/p>\n<p><strong> The vision is touching not return <\/strong> This, probably, is not a part of the original text and should be omitted. <\/p>\n<p><strong> Neither shall any strengthen himself <\/strong> Davidson says, &ldquo;Perhaps, &lsquo;neither shall anyone keep hold of his life&rsquo; maintain his life &rsquo;in his iniquity.&rsquo;&rdquo; The Polychrome Bible renders, &ldquo;No one shall strengthen his life by iniquity.&rdquo; Whether sellers or buyers they are equally corrupt and shall meet the same fate. No man shall profit by his neighbor&rsquo;s misfortune or escape the penalty of his own sin.

The word for multitude has previously meant the multitude of wealth, here it probably refers to the multitude of people. The seller will not return to goods that he can sell in the markets of Jerusalem, even if he survives, for the vision refers to the whole multitude of people, they will either be destroyed or removed far away. None of them will be able to turn back. Not one of them will return.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Nor will any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.&rsquo; This may refer to false trading (compare <span class='bible'>Amo 2:6-7<\/span>).
