The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:5
A voice of trembling; rather, a sound of trembling, a sound causing men to tremble; doubtless it is "the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war" ( Jeremiah 4:19 ). Of fear, and not of peace; rather, there is fear, and no peace. "Peace," as usual, means the harmony of a well ordered, secure, and peaceful community. Literally, it is wholeness ; its opposite is "breaking," i.e. outward ruin and inward anguish. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:5-11
The great judgment of Israel's deliverance. It is nothing less than the "day of Jehovah" which the prophet sees in spirit—a day which is "great" ( Jeremiah 30:7 ; comp. Joel 2:11 ; Zephaniah 1:14 ) and terrible ( Jeremiah 30:5 , Jeremiah 30:6 ; comp. Amos 5:18 , Amos 5:20 ; Isaiah 13:6 ; Joel 2:1 , Joel 2:11 ) for Israel, a day of "trouble" ( Jeremiah 30:7 ), but for his enemies of destruction. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:6
Whether a man doth travail with child. Great, indeed, must be the terror when no adequate figure suggests itself but that of a woman in her pangs (comp. Jeremiah 6:24 ; Jeremiah 13:21 ; Jeremiah 22:23 ; Isaiah 13:8 ). All faces are turned into paleness. So Joel ( Joel 2:6 ) and Nahum ( Nahum 2:10 ), "All faces withdraw their colour." For "paleness" the Septuagint has "jaundice"—a possible meaning of the Hebrew; comp. χλωρὸς , "pale, bilious looking'' in medical writings,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:7
That day; i.e. "the day of Jehovah," the day of the great judgment upon the world, of which the fall of Babylon is regarded as the opening scene. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble; rather, and a time of distress shall it be ( even ) to Jacob. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:5
Better, as in the margin. The prophet places his hearers in the center of Babylon, and describes it as convulsed with terror as the armies of Cyrus draw near. The voice of trembling is the war-cry of the advancing host: while fear and no peace implies that even among the exiles there is only alarm at the prospect of the city, where they had so long dwelt, being destroyed. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:7
That day - i. e., the day of the capture of Babylon.It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble - Rather, and it is a time of trouble to Jacob, i. e., of anxiety to the Jews, for the usages of war were so brutal that they would be in danger when the enemy made their assault. read more

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:7
Verse 7 The Prophet goes on in this verse to describe the grievousness of that punishment for which the people felt no concern, for they disregarded all threatenings, as I have already said, and had now for many years hardened themselves so as to deem as nothing so many dreadful things. This, then, was the reason why he dwelt so much on this denunciation, and exclaimed, Alas! great is that day: “great” is to be taken for dreadful; and he adds, so that there is none like it It was a dreadful... read more
