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

upon her own heap. This cannot have a spiritual application; still less interpretation. It is literally Zion. This was written in the book, before the siege, which had already been foretold (chs. 7; 19; Jeremiah 21:10 , Jeremiah 34:2 , Jeremiah 37:10 ). heap = ruins. palace = fortress. after the manner thereof: or, upon its own site. read more

"Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I shall also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 30:18

Jeremiah 30:18. And have mercy on his dwelling-places— On his tabernacles; which corresponds to the former clause. The expressions allude to the ancient manner of dwelling in tents; and though they may be understood metaphorically, yet were they in some measure fulfilled under Zerubbabel. See Houbigant. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:18

18. bring again . . . captivity— (Jeremiah 33:7; Jeremiah 33:11). tents—used to intimate that their present dwellings in Chaldea were but temporary as tents. have mercy on dwelling-places— (Jeremiah 33:11- :). own heap—on the same hill, that is, site, a hill being the usual site chosen for a city (compare Joshua 11:13, Margin).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 30:18

Yahweh promised to restore Israel’s tribal fortunes (cf. Numbers 24:5-6), to have compassion on His peoples’ towns and homes, and to rebuild Jerusalem and the royal palace there. If the palace in view here refers to the king’s palace, and not the temple, this was never rebuilt by the returned exiles from Babylon as far as Scripture records. 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
