for I will refresh
The phrase "for I will refresh" is a promise from God, indicating His active role in restoring and revitalizing His people. The Hebrew root word here is "רָוָה" (ravah), which means to saturate or to drench. This imagery suggests a deep, thorough renewal, akin to a parched land receiving abundant rain. In the historical context of Jeremiah, the Israelites were in exile, weary from their struggles and longing for deliverance. God's promise to "refresh" them is not just physical but spiritual, offering hope and renewal to a people in despair. This reflects God's character as a compassionate and caring Father who desires to restore His children.

the weary soul
The "weary soul" refers to those who are exhausted, both physically and spiritually. The Hebrew word for "weary" is "עָיֵף" (ayeph), which conveys a sense of fatigue and exhaustion. In the scriptural context, this weariness can be seen as a result of the Israelites' prolonged suffering and separation from their homeland. The "soul" (נֶפֶשׁ, nephesh) in Hebrew encompasses the whole being, not just the spiritual aspect. Thus, God's promise to refresh the "weary soul" is comprehensive, addressing the totality of human need. This assurance is a reminder of God's intimate understanding of human frailty and His commitment to provide rest and restoration.

and replenish
The word "replenish" comes from the Hebrew "מָלֵא" (male), meaning to fill or to satisfy. This term suggests a restoration to fullness, a complete filling of what was lacking. In the context of Jeremiah, this replenishment is a divine act of restoring what has been lost or depleted during the years of exile and hardship. It is a promise of abundance and sufficiency, reflecting God's ability to meet every need. This concept of replenishment is echoed throughout Scripture, where God is often depicted as the provider who satisfies the needs of His people.

all who are weak
The phrase "all who are weak" speaks to the inclusivity of God's promise. The Hebrew word for "weak" is "דַּוָּי" (dawai), which can also mean sick or faint. This term captures the condition of those who are not only physically frail but also emotionally and spiritually depleted. In the historical context, the Israelites' weakness was a result of their captivity and the challenges they faced. God's promise to "replenish all who are weak" underscores His universal care and concern for every individual, regardless of their condition. It is a testament to His grace and mercy, offering strength and renewal to all who turn to Him in their time of need.

(25) I have satiated the weary soul . . .--Here again we note an instance of an anticipation of the thought, almost of the very language, of the Gospel, "The hungry and the thirsty" shall be "filled" (Matthew 5:6), the weary shall be refreshed (Matthew 11:28-29).

Verse 25. - For Jehovah will have fulfilled every unsatisfied craving. I have satiated (literally, watered) means "I have decreed to satiate;" it is the perfect of prophetic certitude, which represents an event as already having taken place in the Divine counsels. Sorrowful; rather, languishing (see on ver. 12).
