G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 29:1-32

As a result of this false prophesying, Jeremiah sent a letter to the exiles. It is evident that they also were disturbed. The letter instructed them, first, concerning their present position, advising them to settle in Babylon and beware of false prophets. It then proceeded to declare what the future would be. Deliverance was in the purpose of God for them, but it would not be accomplished until after seventy years. The promise of deliverance then is full of tenderness and of beauty. It ended... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 29:11

GOD’S THOUGHTS OF PEACE‘The thoughts that I think toward you.’ Jeremiah 29:11 I. God thinking of us in our need.—‘I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinketh upon me.’ ‘ Yet’ is an interpolation of the English version. It would be nearer the truth to say, ‘ therefore the Lord thinketh upon me.’ Why is it necessary to emphasise the fact that God thinks of men? (1) Men were saying in Israel’s days of trial that God had given them up, and that these evil times were only the beginning of the end.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 29:1-32

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). Whilst the first twenty five chapters of Jeremiah have mainly been a record of his general prophecies, mostly given during the reigns of Josiah and Jehoiakim, and have been in the first person, this second section of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5) is in the third person, includes a great deal of material about the problems that Jeremiah faced during his ministry and provides information about the opposition that he continually... read more

YHWH Promises That Once Seventy Years Have Passed His People Will Have The Opportunity To Return To Their Own Land (Jeremiah 29:10-14 ). Jeremiah 29:10 “For thus says YHWH, After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word towards you, in causing you to return to this place.” For the true situation was that Babylon had been granted seventy years of rule by YHWH, and that time had to be accomplished (Jeremiah 25:11-12). However, once that seventy... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 29:1-32

Jeremiah 29. The Future of the Exiles in Babylon ( c. 595).— Jeremiah sends a letter by royal messengers to tell the exiles in Babylon to settle down there for a lengthy stay, and not to be deceived by those who say otherwise ( Jeremiah 29:1-1 Samuel :). After seventy years (see on Jeremiah 25:11), they shall be restored in accordance with Yahweh’ s declared purpose ( Jeremiah 24:4-Judges :) and goodwill ( Jeremiah 29:1-1 Chronicles :). At this point, an insertion seems to have been made in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 29:11

This deliverance will not depend upon your merits, but upon my own mercy and kind thoughts and purposes. I have for the seed of Abraham my servant, and I am resolved in my own thoughts what to do; I intend not the blotting out of the name of Israel from the earth, but to give such an end to their trouble as themselves expect and desire, though not so soon as they may expect it, being deceived by their prophets. There shall be an end of your captivity in my time, and that is after you shall have... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 29:1-32

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—This letter and its transmission are usually dated the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign (because of chap. Jeremiah 28:1), but Jeremiah 29:2 of this chapter rather points to a somewhat earlier date, possibly the first or second year of Zedekiah; for Zedekiah himself had to go in his fourth year (chap. Jeremiah 51:59), and it is probable therefore that this embassy was a year or two earlier.2. Contemporary Scriptures.—2 Chronicles... read more
