Jeremiah 30:15-17

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

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

They that devour thee - The Chaldeans. Shall be devoured - By the Medes and Persians. All that prey upon thee will I give for a prey - The Assyrians were destroyed by the Babylonians; the Babylonians, by the Medes and Persians; the Egyptians and Persians were destroyed by the Greeks, under Alexander.

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:16

Verse 16 Here, again, the Prophet promises that God would be gracious to his people, but after a long time, when that perverseness would be subdued, which could not be soon cured. We ought, then, ever to bear in mind the difference between the promise of favors, of which Jeremiah was a witness and a herald, and those vain boastings, by which the false prophets deceived the people, when they encouraged them to expect a return in a short time, and said that the term of deliverance was at hand. ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:17

Verse 17 When God promised favor to the Jews, he referred to their enemies; for it would have been a grievous temptation, which would have otherwise not only disturbed and depressed their minds, but also extinguished all faith, to see their enemies enjoying all they could wish, and successful in everything they attempted, had not this consolation been granted them, — that their enemies would have at length to render an account for the wickedness in which they gloried. But now the main thing is... read more
