G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 29:1-32

As a result of this false prophesying, Jeremiah sent a letter to the exiles. It is evident that they also were disturbed. The letter instructed them, first, concerning their present position, advising them to settle in Babylon and beware of false prophets. It then proceeded to declare what the future would be. Deliverance was in the purpose of God for them, but it would not be accomplished until after seventy years. The promise of deliverance then is full of tenderness and of beauty. It ended... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 29:1-32

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). Whilst the first twenty five chapters of Jeremiah have mainly been a record of his general prophecies, mostly given during the reigns of Josiah and Jehoiakim, and have been in the first person, this second section of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5) is in the third person, includes a great deal of material about the problems that Jeremiah faced during his ministry and provides information about the opposition that he continually... read more

Postscript Concerning The Request From Shemaiah The Prophet In Babylon Calling For Jeremiah To Be Severely Disciplined As A False Prophet Because Of His Declarations That Deliverance Would Be Delayed, And What Resulted From It (Jeremiah 29:24-32 ). This may be a postscript to the letter described above (in which case Jeremiah must have written previously), or more likely an indication of a later letter sent to Babylon once Shemaiah had written in response to this letter. It is interesting for... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 29:1-32

Jeremiah 29. The Future of the Exiles in Babylon ( c. 595).— Jeremiah sends a letter by royal messengers to tell the exiles in Babylon to settle down there for a lengthy stay, and not to be deceived by those who say otherwise ( Jeremiah 29:1-1 Samuel :). After seventy years (see on Jeremiah 25:11), they shall be restored in accordance with Yahweh’ s declared purpose ( Jeremiah 24:4-Judges :) and goodwill ( Jeremiah 29:1-1 Chronicles :). At this point, an insertion seems to have been made in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 29:31

This is the great mischief of false teachers, they are the causes of people’s trusting in lies; and from hence the sins of false prophets are ordinarily aggravated. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 29:1-32

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—This letter and its transmission are usually dated the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign (because of chap. Jeremiah 28:1), but Jeremiah 29:2 of this chapter rather points to a somewhat earlier date, possibly the first or second year of Zedekiah; for Zedekiah himself had to go in his fourth year (chap. Jeremiah 51:59), and it is probable therefore that this embassy was a year or two earlier.2. Contemporary Scriptures.—2 Chronicles... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 29:1-32

Chapter 29Now Jeremiah sent this letter, chapter 29, to those Jews that were in Babylon. And, of course, this letter was sent to them and one of the chief of the princes that was in Babylon was Daniel. So Daniel was the one, no doubt, that received this letter from Jeremiah. Daniel was a captive in Babylon at the time, and this letter was sent by the prophet Jeremiah to those captives. Now, of course, Jeremiah is an older man at this point whereas Daniel is quite a young man at this point.Now... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 29:1-32

Jeremiah 29:10 . After seventy years. See Jeremiah 26:1. Zechariah fixes the captivity at the same number of years, and he flourished sometime after Jeremiah’s death. No doubt the captivity was exactly seventy years from the fourth year of Jehoiakim, when Jeconiah, the heir apparent, with about twenty thousand of the guards, the nobles, and artisans was carried to Babylon. As to the difficulties of the chronology which seem to make more than seventy years, they belong to critics, and they... read more
