Jeremiah 30:14 NIV

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 30:14

All thy lovers have forgotten thee ,.... The Egyptians and Assyrians, whom they sought unto for help, and entered into an alliance with, and who promised them great things; but forgot their promises and forsook them: they seek thee not ; to ask of thy welfare, as the Targum adds; they do not, visit thee, nor inquire after thine health, or how it is with thee, having no manner of care and concern for thee; this has been the case of the Jews for many ages: for I have wounded thee with... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:14

Verse 14 The Prophet again repeats, that nothing remained for Israel as coming from men, for no one offered to bring help. Some, indeed, explain the words as though the Prophet had said, that friends, as it is usually the case, concealed themselves through shame on seeing the condition of the people hopeless: for as long as friends can relieve the sick, they are ready at hand, and anxiously exert themselves, but when life is despaired of, they no longer appear. But the Prophet, I have no doubt,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:12-15

Jeremiah 30:12-15. Thy bruise is incurable In all human appearance. The state that the Jews should be in would be so miserable that it would be incurable from any hand except that of God. There is none to plead thy cause There is none that, by the reformation of their lives, or their intercessions with God, endeavour to avert his displeasure. Or, as the words may be rendered, There is none to judge thy cause, none that knows the true nature of thy malady, or what medicines are proper to... read more

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:14

14. lovers—the peoples formerly allied to thee, Assyria and Egypt (compare :-). seek thee not—have cast away all concern for thee in thy distress. wound of an enemy—a wound such as an enemy would inflict. God condescends to employ language adapted to human conceptions. He is incapable of "enmity" or "cruelty"; it was their grievous sin which righteously demanded a grievous punishment, as though He were an "enemy" (Jeremiah 5:6; Job 13:24; Job 30:21). read more
