Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 3:15

15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart , which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding .

Either Civil Magistrates, which are sometimes so called, Mic. 5.5. Or, rather Ecclesiastical, as appears both from the reason of Gods judgments upon Israel, viz. Their Pastors being generally, either Thieves, or dumb Dogs; and also from the nature of their office in the close of the verse, and thus they are called Eph. 4.11.

Such as I will both chuse for you, and approve off, and that shall faithfully and skilfully declare unto you my mind, which intimates not only a single act of deliverance, but his constant preservation of them.

This notes, either the nature of their food. See Neh. 8.8. Mal. 2.7. Or rather the manner of their feeding, see Psal. 78.72. see 1 Pet. 5.2. see more of this promise, chap. 23.4.
