31:9
This verse expresses the deep concern that God has for His people, and how He will lead them from captivity. They will come back weak, but will be praying to the Lord. Weakness is not a problem if we pray to the Lord. God will lead them by streams of water and on level paths. Why will He do this? Because He is their father and they are His children. We should note that everything here is rooted in God.
31:10,11
The nations need to understand God’s relationship with Israel. Israel was not like any other nation, and it was (and is) a nation for which God has a plan. He will restore them. This is still relevant today. A nation opposes or treats Israel badly at its peril. For Christians, any theology that says Israel as a nation no longer has any special part in God’s plan is treading a very dangerous road, and seems to be ignoring so much of the Bible.
