Jeremiah 31 is the thirty-first chapter of the Book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It is numbered as Jeremiah 38 in the Septuagint. The book contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets (Nevi'im). This chapter is notable for the passage about the "New Covenant" (31:31-34) of God with His restored people[1][2] and the quoting of 31:15 in the “Massacre of the Innocents" narrative (Gospel of Matthew 2:16-18).[3] The Jerusalem Bible refers to chapters 30 and 31 as "the Book of Consolation",[4] and Lutheran theologian Ernst Hengstenberg calls these two chapters "the triumphal hymn of Israel’s salvation".[5]
