Jeremiah 30:15

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 30:15

Why criest thou for thine affliction ?.... Or complainest of the hardness, and heaviness, and continuance of it, when there was such a just cause for it? when men have sinned at a high rate, they have no reason to complain of the punishment of their sins, Lamentations 3:39 ; thy sorrow is incurable, for the multitude of thine iniquity ; such were the number of their iniquities, that they brought them into such a sorrowful and wretched estate and condition that there was no recovery... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:15

Verse 15 The Prophet now anticipates an objection, lest the Jews should expostulate with God; for it sufficiently appears that they always complained of God’s extreme severity, when they indulged themselves in their vices. As soon then as God treated them as they deserved, they became exasperated and enraged against him. Hence the Prophet now meets their perverse and unjust complaints, and asks, why they cried out for their bruising, as though he had said, that these clamors were much too late,... read more

Joseph Benson

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

Jeremiah 30:15. Why criest thou?— Why criest thou over thy affliction, thy incurable sorrow? it is for the greatness of thy iniquity, and because thy sins were increased, that I have done these things unto thee: Jeremiah 30:16 yet surely all they, &c. "The Chaldeans, Assyrians, Egyptians, Edomites, and others, who have afflicted, oppressed, and persecuted you, shall be devoured and extirpated, while you shall be re-established." The Assyrians, who opposed Israel and Judah, were so destroyed... read more
