Commentary on Jeremiah 30:10

Theological / Devotional

Fear thou not. This comforting assurance is substantially repeated in ch. 46:27, 28 (see Isa. 41:8-16 ; 43:5-7).

Jacob. Here synonymously used for “Israel” (see Gen. 32:27, 28) to represent the people of God.

Save thee from afar. Primarily this refers, as shown by the context, to the return of the exiles from their Babylonian captivity.

Be quiet. The promises of future prosperity were conditional on obedience (see pp. 31,32).
