Jeremiah 30:8

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 30:8

For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts ,.... When the time is come for Jacob to be saved out of his trouble: that I will break his yoke from off thy neck ; not the yoke of the king of Babylon, but of antichrist, and of all the antichristian states, by whom the people of God have been oppressed; so the Targum, "I will break the yoke of the peoples (the antichristian nations) from off your necks.' Jarchi interprets it of the yoke of the nations of the world... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:8

Verse 8 Jeremiah proceeds with what he touched upon in the last verse, even that the Lord, after having chastised his people, would at length shew mercy to them, so as to receive them into favor. He says, in short, that their captivity would not be perpetual. But we must remember what we have before stated, that is, that deliverance is only promised to the faithful, who would patiently and resignedly submit to God and not disregard his paternal correction. If, then, we desire God to be... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:8

His yoke. Not that imposed by the enemy (as Isaiah 10:22 and Isaiah 14:25 might suggest), but that suffered by Jacob. This is clear from the last clause of the verse. 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

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
