Jeremiah 30:3 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 30:3

For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... And they are yet to come; the prophecy is not yet fulfilled. Kimchi says this belongs to the days of the Messiah; but not to his first coming, or to his coming in the flesh, which the Jews vainly expect; but to his spiritual coming in the latter day: that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah , saith the Lord ; which cannot be understood of their return from the Babylonish captivity; for, as Kimchi rightly... read more

The days come - First, After the conclusion of the seventy years. Secondly, Under the Messiah.

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:3

Verse 3 We now, then, see why he says, come shall the days; for every hope after two years would have been extinguished, had not God interposed. Come, then, shall the days in which I wll restore the captivity of Israel and Judah The ten tribes, we know, had been already led into exile; the tribe of Judah and the half tribe of Benjamin only remained. Hence the ten tribes, the whole kingdom of Israel, are mentioned first. The exile of Israel was much longer than that of Judah. It afterwards... 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

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

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

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 30:3

Jeremiah 30:3. For, lo, the days come— Though the prophesy in this chapter contains many circumstances which refer to the return of the Jews from Babylon, yet there are many others, which so suit the Lord Jesus Christ and the establishment of his church, particularly in the last days, that there is no giving them literally any other sense; and even the clearest and most express prophesies for the deliverance from Babylon, are very naturally to be explained of Jesus Christ and his faithful... read more
