Jeremiah 30:17

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 30:17

As the miserable state of this people was by the prophet, Jeremiah 30:12,Jeremiah 30:13, described under the similitude of a man wounded, and bruised, and sick; so their more prosperous state is described under the nation of health, and God’s action in restoring them expressed under the notion of healing, both here and in many other texts, Isaiah 6:10; Isaiah 19:22; Isaiah 57:18,Isaiah 57:19. The particle here translated because may so signify, here, for often the scorn and contempt of God’s... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 30:1-24

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Chronology of the Chapter.—Though without a date, yet the probability is that it was “written in a book” (see Jeremiah 30:2) in the tenth year of Zedekiah; and that this date [given at the head of chap. 32] applies to the four chapters, 30 to 33 inclusive. But it is open to dispute whether the prophecies contained in chapters 30 and 31 were not delivered at a considerably earlier date. Naegelsbach dates these two chapters as “the oldest part of the whole book” of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:17

Jeremiah 30:17 If there is any character more especially marked in the Scripture accounts of Christ's advent among men, it is that of a Restorer. He comes to purify some presupposed corruption, to repair some antecedent ruin, to satisfy some preexisting wants. It is the feeling of these wants which in the minds of men perpetuates the corresponding feeling of the necessity of remedy which supports the character and claims of Christianity in the world; while, at the same time, it is the slowness... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Jeremiah 30:17

DISCOURSE: 1066THE CONVERSION OF THE JEWS—OUR DUTY TO PROMOTE ITJeremiah 30:17. This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.CONSIDERING how much is spoken in the Holy Scriptures concerning the present and future state of the Jewish nation, it is surprising how little they occupy the attention of the Christian world. As living witnesses of the truth of our holy religion, they are indeed often mentioned; but, as having any interest in the promises of the Gospel, and as ordained to fill an exalted... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:1-24

Chapter 30Now as we get into chapter 30, we enter into the future in these next four chapters. And this is now writing of the Great Tribulation period which is yet future. This is writing about this period of time, the final seven years in which God is going to be dealing with the nation Israel. For seventy sevens were determined upon the nation Israel, of which sixty-nine were fulfilled when Christ the Messiah came, leaving one seven-year cycle yet to be fulfilled which is yet future, which... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:1-24

Jeremiah 30:6 . Ask ye now whether a man doth travail with child. The anguish of a people once lords in Judea, now servants in Babylon, was great. But they were happier weeping there than worshipping Ashtaroth in Jerusalem. The captives hope, while those they had left had nothing but grief and fear. Jeremiah 30:8 . It shall come to pass in that day that I will break his yoke from off thy neck. They shall not return to the Messiah in a state of servitude. Judah shall be saved, and Israel... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 30:17-19

Jeremiah 30:17-19I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. God’s love in restorationMost times in Scripture the voice of God is the voice of love. The sterner words come forth as of necessity, on compulsion. How wonderful in the text is the tenderness with which God speaks, what marvellous considerateness for natural human feelings, for the peculiarities, if I may so speak, of human feelings, when, in promising to renew and to restore, He speaks not... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 30:17

Jer 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, [saying], This [is] Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Ver. 17. For I will restore health. ] It goes best with the Church when worst with her enemies. It shall do so much more when all Christ’s foes shall be made his footstool. Because they called thee an Outcast. ] Concluding so from thine afflictions. The Jewish nation, saith Cicero, a show how well God... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:17

17. They called thee an Outcast But by God’s blessing thou “shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah.” Isaiah 62:4. Zion, whom no man seeketh after Some have taken this phrase as explanatory of the preceding, in the sense that Zion, taken etymologically, means wasteness or aridity; but this etymology is disputed, and is not necessary to an intelligible understanding of the sentence. The meaning simply is, that Zion is so insignificant that no man will even take the trouble to... read more
