Commentary
4 notes on this verse(Verse 5) You shall again plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria: plant, and you shall enjoy the fruits thereof. You will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. Not in valleys and low places, but in the mountains of Samaria, which were possessed by foreigners after the captivity of the people of Israel, to whom it is said: Plant vineyards and harvest.
This site's exposition
the God of all the families of Israel
on Jeremiah 31:1-6
The Book of Consolation widens to all the families of Israel, north and south together, and grounds the restoration in the oldest fact the book knows: I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Grace in the wilderness reaches back to the exodus generation, love before any performance, which is why the rebuilding verbs are certainties rather than offers, again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built. The watchmen of Ephraim crying let us go up to Zion is the schism of Jeroboam healed in one sentence, as the bench notes: the northern hills themselves calling pilgrims to the feast they were built to prevent.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Note, God can make those who have been enemies to religion and the true worship of God to become encouragers of them and leaders in them. This promise was to have its full accomplishment in the days of the Messiah, when the gospel should be preached to all these countries, and a general invitation thereby given into the church of Christ, of which Zion was a type.

Shall eat them as common things - Rather, shall eat the fruit. Literally, as in the margin. For three years the fruit of a newly-planted tree was not to be touched, that of the fourth year was consecrated to God, but on the fifth year it was profane, i. e., unconsecrated, and so might be applied to the owner’s use Lev 19:23-25.
