Context — Mourning Turned to Joy
22How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
23This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
24And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
25for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.” 26At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 31:24
And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:24

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:24
Jeremiah 31:24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they [that] go forth with flocks.Ver. 24. Husbandmen, and those that go out with flocks.] Agricolae et pecuarii; the citizens of the Church shall be plain hearted and profitable persons, living together in amity, and not jarring, as husbandmen and shepherds oft do; Cain and Abel for instance.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:24
(24) Husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.—The prophet’s ideal of the restored life of Israel is that it should combine the best features of the patriarchal and the kingly life. A people pastoral, yet not nomadic—agricultural, yet sharing in the culture and safety of cities—this was the picture that rose up in Jeremiah’s thoughts, in sharp contrast to the facts that actually surrounded him in the shape of devastated fields and pastures, with no flocks and herds (Jeremiah 4:26-29).
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 31:24
24. they that go about] opposed to dwellers in fixed habitations, such as the inhabitants of the towns and husbandmen. Cp. Isaiah 30:23.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 31:24
Go forth - “Go about.” Judah shall have its settled population and fixed abodes; and shepherds shall move about with their flocks, wherever pasture is to be found.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:24
24. Go forth — Rather, go about. The phrase describes the ordinary life of the shepherd going hither and thither in the interest of the flock.
