Commentary on Jeremiah (420)

(Verse 9) Thus says the Lord of hosts, they will gather the remnants of Israel like grapes in a vineyard. Turn your hand like a grape harvester into the basket. LXX: For thus says the Lord of hosts: Gather, gather the remnants of Israel like grapes in a vineyard. Return like a grape harvester to your basket. Some interpret these words in a positive way, others in a negative way. In a positive way, when Jerusalem has been devastated, the remnants will be saved.

They ... - Each word indicates the completeness of Judah’s ruin. Turn back thine hand - Addressed perhaps to Nebuchadnezzar as God’s servant Jer 25:9. He is required to go over the vine once again, that no grapes may escape. Into the baskets - Better, “upon the tendrils.” While the Jews carried captive to Babylon escaped, misery gleaned the rest again and again.
