Jeremiah 30:9

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 30:9

But they shall serve the Lord their God ,.... And him only, in a spiritual manner, in righteousness and true holiness, with reverence and godly fear; having respect to all his precepts and ordinances, and every branch of religious worship; joining themselves to Gospel churches, and worshipping along with them, before them, and in the midst of them; see Revelation 3:9 ; and David their king ; not literally, who shall be raised up from the dead, and reign over them, which Kimchi supposes... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:9

But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their King - This must refer to the times of the Messiah and hence the Chaldee has, "They shall obey the Lord their God, דוד בר למשיחה מאון וישת veyishta meun limschicha bar David , and they shall obey the Messiah, the Son of David." This is a very remarkable version; and shows that it was a version, not according to the letter, but according to their doctrine and their expectation. David was long since dead; and none of his descendants... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:9

Verse 9 The former promise would have been defective had not this clause been added; for it would not be enough for men to live as they please, and to have liberty promised them, except a regular order be established. It would, indeed, be better for us to be wild beasts, and to wander in forests, than to live without government and laws; for we know how furious are the passions of men. Unless, therefore, there be some restraint, the condition of wild beasts would be better and more desirable... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:8-9

Jeremiah 30:8-9. It shall come to pass in that day In the day when Jacob shall be saved out of all his troubles, Jeremiah 30:7. The phrase that day often denotes an extraordinary or remarkable time for some signal events of Providence: see Isaiah 4:2. That I will break his yoke from off thy neck This promise was in part fulfilled when Cyrus set the Jews free from the Babylonish yoke, and gave them liberty to return to their own country. And strangers shall no more serve themselves of... 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
