Jeremiah 30:16

Therefore—connected with Jeremiah 30:13, because "There is none to plead thy cause . . . therefore" I will plead thy cause, and heal thy wound, by overwhelming thy foes. This fifteenth verse is inserted to amplify what was said at the close of Jeremiah 30:14. When the false ways of peace, suggested by the so-called prophets, had only ended in the people's irremediable ruin, the true prophet comes forward to announce the grace of God as bestowing repentance and healing.

devour thee . . . be devoured . . . spoil . . . be a spoil . . . prey upon . . . give for a prey—retribution in kind (see on Jeremiah 2:3; Exodus 23:22; Isaiah 33:1).
