Context — A Promise of Restoration
41Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
42For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.
43And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’
44Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”Cross References

Jeremiah 32:43 Summary
This verse, Jeremiah 32:43, is a promise from God that even in the midst of great difficulty and desolation, He is still at work to bring about restoration and renewal. This means that even when things seem hopeless, God is able to bring about new life and vitality, as seen in Isaiah 43:19 and Ezekiel 37:1-14. Just like the Israelites were able to buy fields in the land that was once desolate, we can trust that God will bring about new life and restoration in our own lives, as seen in Romans 8:28 and Philippians 4:13. This is a reminder that God is always working for our good, even when we can't see it, and that He is able to bring about beauty and life from ashes, as seen in Isaiah 61:3.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that fields will be bought in a land that is desolate?
This means that even in a time of great destruction and chaos, God is still working to bring about restoration and renewal, as seen in Jeremiah 32:43, and this is a promise that is echoed in other parts of Scripture, such as Isaiah 61:4 and Ezekiel 36:33-36.
Why does the verse mention the Chaldeans?
The Chaldeans were the ruling power that had conquered Judah and were in control of the land at the time of Jeremiah's prophecy, as seen in Jeremiah 32:43, and their presence is a reminder of the judgment that God had brought upon His people, as seen in 2 Kings 25:1-21 and Lamentations 1:1-22.
Is this verse only talking about the physical land of Israel?
While the verse does specifically mention the land of Israel, it also has spiritual implications, as seen in Jeremiah 32:41-42, where God promises to plant His people in the land with all His heart and soul, which is a picture of the spiritual restoration that God brings to His people, as seen in John 15:1-17 and Romans 11:13-24.
How can we apply this verse to our own lives?
This verse reminds us that even in the midst of difficulty and desolation, God is still at work, and He is able to bring about restoration and renewal, as seen in Jeremiah 32:43, and this is a promise that we can apply to our own lives, as seen in Romans 8:28 and Philippians 4:13, where we are reminded that God is always working for our good, even in the midst of hard circumstances.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas of my life where I feel like I am experiencing desolation, and how can I trust God to bring about restoration in those areas?
- How can I, like Jeremiah, trust in God's promises even when the circumstances around me seem impossible?
- What are some ways that I can be a part of God's restoration work in the lives of those around me, as seen in Jeremiah 32:43 and Matthew 25:31-46?
- How can I balance the tension between trusting in God's sovereignty and taking action to bring about restoration in my own life and the lives of those around me, as seen in Jeremiah 32:43 and James 2:14-26?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 32:43
And fields shall be bought in this land,.... After the return from the Babylonish captivity, which this respects; and of which the prophet's purchasing a field of his uncle's son was a pledge and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 32:43
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:43
Jeremiah 32:43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.Ver. 43. And fields shall be bought.] For an assurance whereof I have caused thee to buy this field now.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:43
(43, 44) And fields shall be bought in this land . . .—The significance of the whole transaction of the purchase of the field in Anathoth is again solemnly confirmed. Men were desponding, as though the land were to belong to the Chaldæans for ever. They are told that the very region which was now covered with their encampments should once again be possessed freely by its own people. In the “mountains,” the “valleys,” and the south, or negeb district, stretching towards the country of the Philistines, we have, as before in Jeremiah 17:26, the familiar division of the land of Judah, which had been transmitted from what has well been called the Domesday Book of Israel (Joshua 15:21; Joshua 15:33; Joshua 15:48).
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 32:43
36–44. See introd. summary to the section. There seems much more to be said for the genuineness of this group of vv. in the main than for that of the previous one, though here too (see note introducing the section) there is far from a general acceptance of them by commentators. They have comparatively little in common with other passages as regards phraseology, and they are more relevant to the question which Jeremiah had asked (Jeremiah 32:24 f.). Jeremiah 32:37 (which speaks as though a general dispersion had already taken place) and Jeremiah 32:43 (referring to the land as already desolate) are perhaps the least defensible parts of the subsection.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:43
43. Fields shall be bought — Literally, the field. The term is used generically, and implies a prosperity that brings the country at large into use.
