Jeremiah 30:2 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 30:1-9

Here, I. Jeremiah is directed to write what God had spoken to him, which perhaps refers to all the foregoing prophecies. He must write them and publish them, in hopes that those who had not profited by what he said upon once hearing it might take more notice of it when in reading it they had leisure for a more considerate review. Or, rather, it refers to the promises of their enlargement, which had been often mixed with his other discourses. He must collect them and put them together, and God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:2

Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel ,.... Who is their covenant God; has not forgotten them; still has a regard for them; and speaks after the following comfortable manner concerning them: saying, write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book ; being things of consequence, that they might remain to after ages; and be read to the use, comfort, and edification of the Lord's people, in times to come; and be a support to their faith and hope, as well as be a testimony of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:2

Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book - The book here recommended I believe to be the thirtieth and thirty-first chapters; for among the Hebrews any portion of writing, in which the subject was finished, however small, was termed ספר sepher , a Book, a treatise or discourse. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:2

Verse 2 He says that God had commanded him to write in a book all the words which he had heard; and the reason follows, For, behold, come shall the days, saith Jehovah, in which I will restore the captivity of my people Israel and Judah (2) There is to be understood a contrast between the restoration mentioned here and that of which the false prophets had prattled when they animated the people with the hope of a return in a short time; for, as I have said, that false expectation, when the Jews... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:1-3

Written in a book; or, words held over. The portion of these prophecies here referred to (probably Jeremiah 30:1-24 ; Jeremiah 31:1-40 .) contains the most tender expressions of the Divine love. It is full of revelations of the deep unalterable affection and gracious purpose of God for his people, even when they were as yet unrepentant. They are regarded in it as sorrowing for their sin, and returning spiritually to him who restored them to their land. Now, many of these statements it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:2

Write thee all the words … in a book. The form of expression leaves it doubtful whether a summary of all Jeremiah's previous discourses is intended, or merely of the promises concerning Israel and Judah which he had just received. There are, no doubt, numerous allusions to preceding chapters, but verse 5 seems rather to favour the latter view. The word rendered "book" will equally suit a short discourse like the present (comp. Jeremiah 51:60 ) and a large collection of prophecies as in ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:2

Scripture-the written Word of God. Jeremiah was required to write his prophecy in a book. Israel had received the Law first by a voice of thunder, but the voice was followed by the writing on the tables of stone ( Exodus 34:1 ). St. John was commanded to write his vision in a book ( Revelation 1:11 ). Without definite commands of this character, prophets and apostles, historians and evangelists, have committed to writing what they knew and taught. Thus we have a written revelation, a... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:2

Write ... in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel.All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:2-3

Jeremiah 30:2-3 . Thus speaketh the Lord, Write thee all the words that I have spoken, &c. The following words contain a promise of the restoration of God’s people. These God commands to be committed to writing for the use of posterity, to be a support to the Jews, an encouragement to them to trust in God, and a proof of his prescience and overruling providence when the event foretold should be brought about. I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah The people... read more
