Jeremiah 30:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 30:16

14 ^aAll your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound ^bof an enemy,
With the chastisement ^cof a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
^dBecause your sins have increased.

15 Why ^ado you cry about your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased,
I have done these things to you.

16 ‘Therefore all those who devour you ^ashall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into ^bcaptivity;
Those who plunder you shall become ^cplunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a ^dprey.

17 ^aFor I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord,
‘Because they called you an outcast saying:
“This is Zion;
No one seeks her.” ’

18 “Thus says the Lord:
‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
And ^ahave mercy on his dwelling places;
The city shall be built upon its own¹ mound,
And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.
