Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:12-17
12-17 When God is against a people, who will be for them? Who can be for them, so as to do them any kindness? Incurable griefs are owing to incurable lusts. Yet, though the captives suffered justly, and could not help themselves, the Lord intended to appear for them, and to punish their oppressors; and he will still do so. But every effort to heal ourselves must prove fruitless, so long as we neglect the heavenly Advocate and sanctifying Spirit. The dealings of His grace with every true... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 30:12-24
The Turn of Affairs and the Consummation of Salvation v. 12. For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous, the stroke delivered to the Jews as a nation is mortal, the hopes which they entertained of having their exile end soon were vain. v. 13. There is none to plead thy cause, intercession could no longer be expected by them, that thou mayest be bound up, the wounds of their body politic being bandaged; thou hast no healing medicines, no remedies of bandages... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:1-24
Following this action of the prophet a word of Jehovah came to him which he was especially commanded to write in a book. In a remarkable way it first set forth two things side by side. The first and fundamental was the ultimate determination of God to accomplish His purpose, and restore His people. The second was the appalling condition of the people, so that there was no hope for them except this determination of God. In setting forth the love that will not let His people go, in spite of all... read more

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In The Heart... read more
Peter Pett
Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:16-17
However, The Nations Too Will Suffer Both Because Of Their Own Deserts And Because They Have Mocked Judah’s God, While On The Other Hand Judah Will Be Restored (Jeremiah 30:16-17 ). But Israel/Judah will not be alone in their sufferings, for those who are their adversaries will also themselves finally suffer. For they too are deserving of judgment and have sown misery, and what they have sown they will reap. On the other hand, because they have dismissed Zion (God’s people) in derision as of... read more

Description of the people’ s terror ( Jeremiah 30:5 mg.) at the “ Day of Yahweh” ( Amos 5:18); but this “ Day” shall bring deliverance from the (heathen) yoke ( Jeremiah 30:8), and Israel shall have (religious) freedom under the future “ Davidic” king.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 30:12-20
I stay not to detain the Reader with any observations upon this blessed passage, though in itself it would invite some of the most delightful. But the gracious things here spoken of, both in a way of judgment and mercy, are so plain and so very obvious that they can need no comment. The Lord points out the awful state of his people by the fall, and their total inability to any recovery in themselves: and thus, from impressing on their minds their undeservings, he heightens the riches of his... read more
