The promise of refreshment is a recurring theme in Scripture, reflecting God's compassion and mercy. In <a href="/isaiah/40-31.htm">Isaiah 40:31</a>, those who wait on the Lord are promised renewed strength. The concept of a "weary soul" can also be linked to Jesus' invitation in <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28</a>, where He calls the weary and burdened to find rest in Him. This reflects God's consistent character throughout the Bible as a source of comfort and renewal.<p><b>and replenish all who are weak.</b><br>The promise to "replenish" indicates a complete restoration, not just a temporary relief. This is significant in the historical context of Jeremiah, where the people of Judah faced the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, leading to a sense of spiritual and physical depletion. The term "weak" can be understood as those who are faint or lacking strength, both physically and spiritually. This promise is fulfilled in the New Testament through the work of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers (<a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>). Additionally, it points to the ultimate restoration found in Christ, who strengthens believers in their weaknesses (<a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9-10</a>). The imagery of replenishment also connects to the abundant life Jesus offers in <a href="/john/10-10.htm">John 10:10</a>, emphasizing God's desire to fully restore His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of both warning and hope to the people of Judah.
