Commentary on Jeremiah 6:9
The LORD commands thorough gleaning of Israel's remnant like grapes left after harvest. The phrase 'turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets' suggests multiple passes to ensure nothing is missed. This can be understood in two ways: either as thoroughgoing judgment leaving nothing, or as God's careful gathering of a faithful remnant. Reformed theology emphasizes God's sovereignty in preserving a remnant (Romans 11:5). The gleaning metaphor appears elsewhere in Scripture both for judgment (stripping bare) and mercy (careful gathering of what remains).
