3B According to the book of Jeremiah, God’s love is a composition of His tender care, compassion, and sympathy; even while He chastises His elect people Israel, He is compassionate toward them—Lam. 3:22-23.
4三 耶利米九章十至十一节和十七至十九节的话,表达耶和华对以色列受祂管教的感觉:
4C The words in Jeremiah 9:10-11 and 17-19 express Jehovah’s feeling concerning Israel’s suffering of His correction:
51 虽然耶和华惩罚以色列,但祂对他们仍是同情的。
51 Although Jehovah was punishing Israel, He was still sympathetic toward them.
9A God is tender, loving, compassionate, and righteous, and Jeremiah, a timid young man, was raised up by God to be His mouthpiece to speak for Him and express Him—3:6-11; 4:3-31; 32:26-27; 33:1-2.
10B Jehovah is the tenderhearted God, and in being tenderhearted, Jeremiah was absolutely one with God; thus, God could use the prophet Jeremiah to express Him, speak for Him, and represent Him—2:1—3:5; 4:19; 9:1, 10.
11C Jehovah came in to correct His hypocritical worshippers, and Jeremiah reacted to Jehovah’s correction; the prophet’s reaction was very tender, sympathetic, and compassionate—8 :18-19,21-22; 9:1-2; 10:19-25.
172 When His Spirit came upon that particular one, Jeremiah, and put His feelings in Jeremiah’s spirit, the prophet could then express the sorrowful feeling of God.
194 Jeremiah’s sorrowful and weeping emotion had been disciplined and restricted so that God could come to him and use him to express the sorrowful feelings that were in His heart.
