Jeremiah 30:23-24 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 30:18-24

We have here further intimations of the favour God had in reserve for them after the days of their calamity were over. It is promised, I. That the city and temple should be rebuilt, Jer. 30:18. Jacob's tents, and his dwelling places, felt the effects of the captivity, for they lay in ruins when the inhabitants were carried away captives; but, when they have returned, the habitations shall be repaired, and raised up out of their ruins, and therein God will have mercy upon their dwelling places,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:23

Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury ,.... That is, the wrath of God, which like a whirlwind comes suddenly, with great force and strength, and carries all before it; there is no withstanding it; such is the wrath of God against the enemies of his church and people: a continuing whirlwind ; whirlwinds, as they come suddenly, are generally soon over; but this will continue very boisterous and terrible, until it has done all the execution designed by it: it shall fall... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:24

The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return ,.... This explains what is meant by the continuing whirlwind in Jeremiah 30:23 ; until he hath done it ; his whole will and pleasure; brought Babylon to ruin, and destroyed all the antichristian powers: and until he hath performed the intents of his heart ; in a way of grace and mercy to his people, and in a way of wrath and vengeance on their enemies: in the latter day ye shall consider it ; this prophecy, and understand it; and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:24

In the latter days ye shall consider it - By the latter days the Gospel dispensation is generally meant; and that restoration which is the principal topic in this and the succeeding chapter refers to this time. Had the Jews properly considered this subject, they would long ere this have been brought into the liberty of the Gospel, and saved from the maledictions under which they now groan. Why do not the Jews read their own prophets more conscientiously? read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:23

Verse 23 The Prophet seems to speak abruptly; for nothing could be more delightful than the promise that God gives, that he would be a Father to the people; but he immediately adds, that there would arise an involving whirlwind, which would abide on the head of the wicked. These things, at the first view, seem not to harmonize. But the latter sentence may be applied to the heathens, or to any of the enemies of the Church; for whenever God appears as the Savior of his people, his vengeance goes... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:24

Verse 24 He confirms the last sentence, and compares the wrath or the vengeance of God to a messenger or a minister, who is sent to carry a message, or to perform what has been commanded him. Of God’s word, that is, of his threatenings as well as of his promises, Isaiah speaks thus, “My word shall not return to me void.” (Isaiah 55:11) The meaning is, that whatever God promises or threatens, is never without its effect. But they wrongly understand the passage who say that the word of God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:23-24

These verses occur in a form evidently more original in Jeremiah 23:19 , Jeremiah 23:20 . In all probability they were first inserted from memory in the margin, and then incorporated into the text at a time subsequent (how long subsequent we cannot say) to Jeremiah. read more

Compare the marginal reference. These verses would more appropriately be attached to the next chapter, for which they form a suitable introduction. read more
