Commentary on Jeremiah 30:12

Theological / Devotional

Thy bruise is incurable. The reason God did not dare leave Judah “altogether unpunished” (see v. 11) was that the people had by this time gone too far in their sins. Verses 12-15 describe Judah’s pitiable condition. Humanly speaking, there was no hope for her. However, God promised to heal her wounds (v. 17).
