Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 30:10-17

In these verses, as in those foregoing, the deplorable case of the Jews in captivity is set forth, but many precious promises are given them that in due time they should be relieved and a glorious salvation wrought for them. I. God himself appeared against them: he scattered them (Jer. 30:11); he did all these things unto them, Jer. 30:15. All their calamities came from his hands; whoever were the instruments, he was the principal agent. And this made their case very sad that God, even their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:10

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord ,.... Since the Messiah, who is the Lord God, should be raised up to thorn, whom they should serve, and he should save them; and so had nothing to fear from their enemies; and had no reason to doubt of salvation and deliverance, seeing so great a person was engaged for them. The language is very much like the Prophet Isaiah's: neither be dismayed, O Israel : the same thing in other words; for Jacob and Israel are the same; and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:10

Verse 10 The Prophet enforces his doctrine by an exhortation; for it would not be sufficient simply to assure us of God’s paternal love and goodwill, unless we were encouraged to hope for it, because experience teaches us how backward and slow we are to embrace the promises of God. This, then, is the reason why the Prophet exhorts and encourages the faithful to entertain hope. Were there in us that promptitude and alacrity which we ought to have, we should be content even with one word; for... 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 30:10-11

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, etc. These two verses, omitted in the Septuagint, are among the passages which Hitzig (carrying out an idea of Movers) attributes to the editorial hand of the author (a pious Jew of the Captivity, according to him) of Isaiah 40-66; and it cannot be denied that the tone and phraseolegy of Isaiah 66:10 is more akin to that of Isaiah 40:1-31 :66, than to those of the greater part of Jeremiah. Graf, in controverting Hitzig's view, points out,... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:10-11

Fear not. I. WHY ISRAEL MIGHT FEAR . For various reasons, viz.: 1 . Present trouble. Already some had been led into exile. What was thus experienced seemed to presage future and worse distress. Grief tends to despondency. In disappointment we are ready to think that all things must grow worse and worse. 2 . The anticipation of necessary punishment. This is confirmed in the prophetic message—'' for I cannot leave thee altogether unpunished." Guilt is the parent of fear.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:10-11

These two verses are considered by some very similar in style to the last 27 chapters of Isaiah. The contrast, however, between the full end made with the pagan, and the certainty that Israel shall never so perish, is one of Jeremiah’s most common topics.Jeremiah 30:11In measure - See the Jeremiah 10:24 note. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:10-11

Jeremiah 30:10-11. Fear thou not, O my servant Jacob As if God had utterly forsaken thee or cast thee off. See the margin. For, lo, I will save thee from afar I will restore you from your captivity, though you should be dispersed into the most distant countries. And though this be not accomplished in the Jews of the present age, it shall be made good to their posterity, who are beloved for their fathers’ sake, as St. Paul speaks, Romans 11:28. And Jacob shall be in rest and quiet, ... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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
