Contextual Overview

¹⁰ "So don't be afraid, Ya‘akov my servant," says Adonai , "or be alarmed, Isra'el; for I will return you from far away and your offspring from their country of exile. Ya‘akov will again be quiet, at rest; and no one will make him afraid. ¹¹ "For I am with you to save you," says Adonai , "I will finish off all the nations where I have scattered you. However, you I will not finish off, but will discipline only as you deserve; I will not completely destroy you." ¹² For here is what Adonai says: "Your wound is past healing, your injury most severe; ¹³ no one thinks your wound can be bandaged; you have no medicines that can heal you. ¹⁴ All your friends have forgotten you, they no longer seek you out. I have struck you down as an enemy would, punished as a cruel man would, because of your great wickedness, because of your many sins. ¹⁵ Why cry that your wound and pain are past healing? I have done these things to you because of your great wickedness, because of your many sins. ¹⁶ "But all who devour you will be devoured, all your enemies will go into exile, those who plunder you will be plundered, those who pillage you will be pillaged. ¹⁷ For I will restore your health, I will heal you of your wounds," says Adonai , "because they called you an outcast, Tziyon, with no one who cares about her."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For I will restore health to thee,.... That is, bring thee into a comfortable and prosperous condition, both in church and state, with respect to things religions and civil: as the afflictions and distresses of the Jewish nation are expressed by sickness, wounds, and bruises; so their prosperity, both spiritual and temporal, is signified by health. The words may be rendered, "I will cause length to ascend unto thee"; or a long plaster z; or rather, that which has been long looked for, and long in coming, prosperity; or else, that whereas they were before bowed down with afflictions and sorrows, now they should be as a man in an erect posture, that rises up in his full height and length, being in a robust and healthful state;

and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; pardon their sins, remove their afflictions, and bring them into a comfortable situation, into a Gospel church state, and into their own land:

because they called thee an outcast; as the Jews now are, cast out of their own land, rejected from being the people of God; so they are reckoned by the nations among whom they are:

[saying], this [is] Zion, whom no man seeketh after: after their good, either temporal or spiritual; despised by most, pitied and prayed for by few; and fewer still they are that seek after, and are solicitous about, or take any methods, or make use of any means, for their conversion; but though man does not, God will, and his work will appear the more manifest.

z אעלה ארכה לך "adducam tibi emplastrum longum", so some in Gataker; "faciam ut ad justam constitutionem assurgas", Junius Tremellius "ut assurgat sanitas tibi", Piscator; "nam faciam ut ascendat tibi proceritas", Cocceius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Restore health - Or, “apply a bandage” (Jeremiah 8:22 note). For they called read “they call.”
