Context of Jeremiah 30:2

1The Lord spoke to Jeremiah. “The Lord God of Israel says, ‘Write everything that I am about to tell you in a scroll. 3For I, the Lord, affirm that the time will come when I will reverse the plight of my people, Israel and Judah,’ says the Lord. ‘I will bring them back to the land I gave their ancestors and they will take possession of it once again.’” 4So here is what the Lord has to say about Israel and Judah.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 30:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book - The book here recommended I believe to be the thirtieth and thirty-first chapters; for among the Hebrews any portion of writing, in which the subject was finished, however small, was termed ספר sepher, a Book, a treatise or discourse.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2Write … in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel. All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-24This series of messages is mostly positive, with only two verses having a judgmental tone (Jeremiah 30:23–24). They describe the positive outcomes of Jerusalem's destruction and the Exile.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-242. Write ... in a book--After the destruction of Jerusalem Jeremiah is not ordered as heretofore to speak, but to write the succeeding prophecy (Jr 30:4, &c.), so as thereby it might be read by his countrymen wheresoever they might be in their dispersion.Read the comment
