Jeremiah 32:5

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

I visit - In the sense of punishment. See Jeremiah 39:6-7; Jeremiah 52:11.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
Jeremiah, being in prison for his prophecy, purchased a piece of ground. This was to signify, that though Jerusalem was besieged, and the whole country likely to be laid waste, yet the time would come, when houses, and fields, and vineyards, should be again possessed. It concerns ministers to make it appear that they believe what they preach to others. And it is good to manage even our worldly affairs in faith; to do common business with reference to the providence and promise of God.
