Contextual Overview

1This is the Message Jeremiah received from God : " God 's Message, the God of Israel: ‘Write everything I tell you in a book. 3 "‘Look. The time is coming when I will turn everything around for my people, both Israel and Judah. I, God , say so. I'll bring them back to the land I gave their ancestors, and they'll take up ownership again.'" 4 This is the way God put it to Israel and Judah: 5" God 's Message: "‘Cries of panic are being heard. The peace has been shattered. Ask around! Look around! Can men bear babies? So why do I see all these he-men holding their bellies like women in labor, Faces contorted, pale as death? The blackest of days, no day like it ever! A time of deep trouble for Jacob— but he'll come out of it alive. 8"‘And then I'll enter the darkness. I'll break the yoke from their necks, Cut them loose from the harness. No more slave labor to foreigners! They'll serve their God and the David-King I'll establish for them.

Cross-References

Genesis 29:31
When God realized that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb. But Rachel was barren. Leah became pregnant and had a son. She named him Reuben (Look-It's-a-Boy!). "This is a sign," she said, "that God has seen my misery; and a sign that now my husband will love me."
Genesis 30:1
When Rachel realized that she wasn't having any children for Jacob, she became jealous of her sister. She told Jacob, "Give me sons or I'll die!"
Genesis 30:3
Rachel said, "Here's my maid Bilhah. Sleep with her. Let her substitute for me so I can have a child through her and build a family." So she gave him her maid Bilhah for a wife and Jacob slept with her. Bilhah became pregnant and gave Jacob a son.
Genesis 30:14
One day during the wheat harvest Reuben found some mandrakes in the field and brought them home to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, "Could I please have some of your son's mandrakes?"
Genesis 30:16
When Jacob came home that evening from the fields, Leah was there to meet him: "Sleep with me tonight; I've bartered my son's mandrakes for a night with you." So he slept with her that night. God listened to Leah; she became pregnant and gave Jacob a fifth son. She said, "God rewarded me for giving my maid to my husband." She named him Issachar (Bartered). Leah became pregnant yet again and gave Jacob a sixth son, saying, "God has given me a great gift. This time my husband will honor me with gifts—I've given him six sons!" She named him Zebulun (Honor). Last of all she had a daughter and named her Dinah.
Genesis 30:22
And then God remembered Rachel. God listened to her and opened her womb. She became pregnant and had a son. She said, "God has taken away my humiliation." She named him Joseph (Add), praying, "May God add yet another son to me."
Numbers 11:29
But Moses said, "Are you jealous for me? Would that all God 's people were prophets. Would that God would put his Spirit on all of them."
Job 3:11
"Why didn't I die at birth, my first breath out of the womb my last? Why were there arms to rock me, and breasts for me to drink from? I could be resting in peace right now, asleep forever, feeling no pain, In the company of kings and statesmen in their royal ruins, Or with princes resplendent in their gold and silver tombs. Why wasn't I stillborn and buried with all the babies who never saw light, Where the wicked no longer trouble anyone and bone-weary people get a long-deserved rest? Prisoners sleep undisturbed, never again to wake up to the bark of the guards. The small and the great are equals in that place, and slaves are free from their masters.
Proverbs 14:30
A sound mind makes for a robust body, but runaway emotions corrode the bones.
Ecclesiastes 4:4
Then I observed all the work and ambition motivated by envy. What a waste! Smoke. And spitting into the wind.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord,.... The word of prophecy, us the Targum. Some make this to be the "thirteenth" sermon of the prophet's; it is a consolatory one, as Kimchi observes:

saying; as follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In Jer. 30–39, not all written at the same time, are gathered together whatsoever God had revealed to Jeremiah of happier import for the Jewish people. This subject is “the New covenant.” In contrast then with the rolls of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah, we here have one containing the nation’s hope. A considerable portion was written in the 10th year of Zedekiah, when famine and pestilence were busy in the city, its capture daily more imminent, and the prophet himself in prison. Yet in this sad pressure of earthly troubles Jeremiah could bid his countrymen look courageously onward to the fulfillment of those hopes, which had so constantly in his darkest hours comforted the heart and nerved the arm of the Jew. The scroll consists of three portions:

(1) “a triumphal hymn of Israel’s salvation,” Jer. 30–31;

(2) Jeremiah 32:0; and

(3) Jeremiah 33:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXX

This and the following chapter must relate to a still future

restoration of the posterity of Jacob from their several

dispersions, as no deliverance hitherto afforded them comes up

to the terms of it; for, after the return from Babylon, they

were again enslaved by the Greeks and Romans, contrary to the

prediction in the eighth verse; in every papistical country

they have laboured under great civil disabilities, and in some

of them have been horribly persecuted; upon the ancient people

has this mystic Babylon very heavily laid her yoke; and in no

place in the world are they at present their own masters; so

that this prophecy remains to be fulfilled in the reign of

David, i.e., the Messiah; the type, according to the general

structure of the prophetical writings, being put for the

antitype. The prophecy opens by an easy transition from the

temporal deliverance spoken of before, and describes the mighty

revolutions that shall precede the restoration of the

descendants of Israel, 1-9,

who are encouraged to trust in the promises of God, 10, 11.

They are, however, to expect corrections; which shall have a

happy issue in future period, 12-17.

The great blessings of Messiah's reign are enumerated, 18-22;

and the wicked and impenitent declared to have no share in

them, 23, 24.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXX

Verse Jeremiah 30:1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord — This prophecy was delivered about a year after the taking of Jerusalem; so Dahler. Dr. Blayney supposes it and the following chapter to refer to the future restoration of both Jews and Israelites in the times of the Gospel; though also touching at the restoration from the Babylonish captivity, at the end of seventy years. Supposing these two chapters to be penned after the taking of Jerusalem, which appears the most natural, they will refer to the same events, one captivity shadowing forth another, and one restoration being the type or pledge of the second.
