Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:4-7

Jeremiah 30:4-7. And these are the words that the Lord spake And which God ordered to be written: and those promises, which were written by his order, are as truly his word as the ten commandments, which were written with his finger. We have heard a voice of trembling Such a one as discovers great fears and apprehensions of impending evils. Ask ye now and see, &c. Make diligent inquiry, and ask every one, whether they ever knew or heard of any such thing as a man’s travailing with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:1-24

Disease, suffering and healing (30:1-24)Although he has been prophesying the captivity of Judah, Jeremiah knows also that after seventy years the people will return to their homeland. A theme of hope and encouragement runs through the next few chapters (30:1-3).The suffering of God’s people will almost be more than they can bear, but God assures them that it will not last indefinitely (4-7). He will release them from bondage and give them independence and peace under the rule of the Davidic... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:4

"And these are the words that Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child; wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.""Alas for that day... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:5

5. We have heard . . . trembling—God introduces the Jews speaking that which they will be reduced to at last in spite of their stubbornness. Threat and promise are combined: the former briefly; namely, the misery of the Jews in the Babylonian captivity down to their "trembling" and "fear" arising from the approach of the Medo-Persian army of Cyrus against Babylon; the promise is more fully dwelt on; namely, their "trembling" will issue in a deliverance as speedy as is the transition from a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 30:5-6

A time of great terror, dread, and unrest was coming. Men would behave as though they were in labor; they would hold themselves in pain as women do when they are about to give birth. This is a picture of powerlessness and panic. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:1-26

Jeremiah’s Seventeenth Prophecy (Reign of Zedekiah During the Siege). Israel’s HopeHitherto the general character of Jeremiah’s prophecies has been gloomy. The whole tone of this section, on the other hand, is one of hopefulness, which is the more remarkable inasmuch as it was delivered at a time when the prophet was subject to imprisonment, and famine and pestilence held possession of the city, and the prospects of the nation were at their lowest. It was under such circumstances then that it... read more
