Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 29:10

Theological / Devotional

Seventy years. In denial of this illusive hope of a short captivity, God again affirms that the Captivity will be for the full 70 years (see ch. 25:12). By this time about 10 years of the 70 had already passed by (see on ch. 25:1, 12).

I will visit you. See on Ps. 8:4 ; 59:5. When the 70 years would come to its end, then, and not before, would God “perform” His “good word” of promised grace and mercy by causing His people “to return to this place.”
