According to Jeremiah, God promised long ago to give the people a wonderful land full of good things, like milk and honey. Jeremiah agrees and says, "Okay, Lord, let it happen."
Jeremiah 11:5: That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. [So...: Heb. Amen]
Jeremiah 11:5 speaks to the inheritance of land promises, while Matthew 5:5 suggests that the meek shall inherit the earth, indicating a broader and more inclusive promise than what was initially intended for a specific group.
Matthew 5:5: Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
