Contextual Overview
10As for you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel; for I will surely deliver you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to frighten him. 11For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you; yet I will correct you in measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished." 12For this is what the LORD says: "Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous. 13There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you. 14All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and numerous sins. 15Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and numerous sins I have done these things to you. 16Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries-every one of them-will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.17But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured,.... Thus rendering the words, they are to be connected with Jeremiah 30:10; and all between to be put into a parenthesis: but rather, in connection with the preceding words, they should be rendered "nevertheless", or "notwithstanding" y; though they had sinned at so great a rate, and were so much afflicted and chastened by the Lord, yet their enemies should not go unpunished, and mercy in the issue would be showed to them. Jarchi calls it an oath, that so it should be; the Romans that devoured them, and ate up their substance, were devoured by the Goths and Vandals; for this may be carried further than to the destruction of the Babylonish empire by the Persians;
and all thine adversaries, everyone of them shall, fro into captivity; or be conquered and subdued, as were the Assyrians, Egyptians, Chaldeans, Grecians, Romans; and not only Rome Pagan has been destroyed, but Rome Papal also will go into captivity; see Revelation 13:10;
and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey: they shall be used according to the law of retaliation; the same measure they have measured shall be measured to them again.
y ××× "verumtamen, [vel] nihilominus", Gataker. So Kimchi and Abarbinel.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Therefore - i. e., Because thou hast undergone thy punishment and cried out in consciousness of thy guilt.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 30:16. They that devour thee — The Chaldeans.
Shall be devoured — By the Medes and Persians.
All that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. — The Assyrians were destroyed by the Babylonians; the Babylonians, by the Medes and Persians; the Egyptians and Persians were destroyed by the Greeks, under Alexander. All these nations are now extinct; but the Jews, as a distinct people, still exist.
