Jeremiah 31 is a part of the Eleventh prophecy (Jeremiah 30-31) in the Consolations (Jeremiah 30-33) section. As mentioned in the "Text" section, verses 30:25-31:39 in the Hebrew Bible below are numbered as 31:1-40 in the Christian Bible. [7] {P}: open parashah; {S}: closed parashah.
The idea of the new covenant is based chiefly upon Jeremiah 31:31–34 (comp. Hebrews 8:6–13, 10:16). That the prophet's words do not imply an abrogation of the Law is evidenced by his emphatic declaration of the immutability of the covenant with Israel ( Jeremiah 31:35–36 ; comp. 33:25 ); he obviously looked for a renewal of the Law ...
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

In Egypt, after an interval, Jeremiah is supposed to have added three sections, viz., ch. 37–39; 40–43; and 44. The main Messianic prophecies are in 23:1–8; 31:31–40; and 33:14–26. Jeremiah's prophecies are noted for the frequent repetitions of the exact words, phrases, and imagery found in them. They cover about 30 years.
On this view, Jeremiah's prophecy that after seventy years God would punish the Babylonian kingdom (cf.

Jeremiah 29:10–14) could not have been fulfilled by the disappointment that accompanied the return to the ...
Jeremiah 13:1–11: The wearing, burial, and retrieval of a linen waistband. [36] Jeremiah 16:1–9: The shunning of the expected customs of marriage, mourning, and general celebration. [37] Jeremiah 19:1–13: the acquisition of a clay jug and the breaking of the jug in front of the religious leaders of Jerusalem. [38]
The lamentations of Jeremiah are depicted in this 1860 woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Karolsfeld. The traditional ascription of authorship to Jeremiah derives from the impetus to ascribe all biblical books to inspired biblical authors, and Jeremiah being a prophet at the time who prophesied its demise was an obvious choice.
