Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 11:5

5 That I may perform the oath, which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk, and hony, as it is this day . Then answered I, and said, so be it O LORD .

I renquired their obedience for their own good, I had swore to their Fathers that I would give their posterity a Land abounding with a plenty of all good things, the best and choicest things, upon supposition of their Obedience, I have performed that Oath, I have brought them into such a Land, and shewed my self faithful to them.

God having ended his speech the Prophet saith Amen, either asserting the truth of which God had said, or wishing that the people would do according to their Covenant, or assenting to the Curse according as God had commanded, Deut. 27.26.

Marginal references: Deut. 7.12. & 8.18. & 9.5.; Heb. amen.
