Jeremiah 30:10-24

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 30:18-24

We have here further intimations of the favour God had in reserve for them after the days of their calamity were over. It is promised, I. That the city and temple should be rebuilt, Jer. 30:18. Jacob's tents, and his dwelling places, felt the effects of the captivity, for they lay in ruins when the inhabitants were carried away captives; but, when they have returned, the habitations shall be repaired, and raised up out of their ruins, and therein God will have mercy upon their dwelling places,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:10

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord ,.... Since the Messiah, who is the Lord God, should be raised up to thorn, whom they should serve, and he should save them; and so had nothing to fear from their enemies; and had no reason to doubt of salvation and deliverance, seeing so great a person was engaged for them. The language is very much like the Prophet Isaiah's: neither be dismayed, O Israel : the same thing in other words; for Jacob and Israel are the same; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:11

For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee ,.... Not only from temporal enemies, but from spiritual ones, sin, Satan, and the world; and to save them with a spiritual and everlasting salvation, which the presence and power of God, through his rich grace, will bring all his people to: though I will make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee ; a full end has been made of the Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Egyptians; these people... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:12

For thus saith the Lord, thy bruise is incurable ,.... By themselves or others, in all human appearance; there was no help for them from men; their case seemed desperate; there was no likelihood of their recovery to their former state and glory, as at this day the case of the Jews appears to be; there seems to be no probability of their conversion and restoration; and whenever it is, it will be as life from the dead, Romans 11:15 ; like quickening Ezekiel's dry bones, or raising persons... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:13

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up ,.... None that will give themselves the trouble to look into their wound to judge of it; to consult, and reason, and debate about the nature of it; and what methods are most advisable to take for the healing and binding of it up: or, as others, "for the compression" F23 למזור "compressioni", Junius & Tremellius; "ad compressionem", Gataker. of it; the squeezing out the corrupt matter, in order to bring it to a... 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 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 Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:16

Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured ,.... Thus rendering the words, they are to be connected with Jeremiah 30:10 ; and all between to be put into a parenthesis: but rather, in connection with the preceding words, they should be rendered "nevertheless", or "notwithstanding" F25 לכן "verumtamen, vel nihilominus", Gataker. So Kimchi and Abarbinel. ; though they had sinned at so great a rate, and were so much afflicted and chastened by the Lord, yet their enemies... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:17

For I will restore health to thee ,.... That is, bring thee into a comfortable and prosperous condition, both in church and state, with respect to things religions and civil: as the afflictions and distresses of the Jewish nation are expressed by sickness, wounds, and bruises; so their prosperity, both spiritual and temporal, is signified by health. The words may be rendered, "I will cause length to ascend unto thee"; or a long plaster F26 אעלה ארכה לך "adducam tibi emplastrum... read more
