Jeremías 30:1-8

1 Palabra que vino a Jeremías del SEÑOR, diciendo:

2 Así habló el SEÑOR Dios de Israel, diciendo: Escríbete en un libro todas las palabras que te he hablado.

3 Porque he aquí que vienen días, dijo el SEÑOR, en que tornaré la cautividad de mi pueblo Israel y Judá, dijo el SEÑOR, y los haré volver a la tierra que di a sus padres, y la poseerán.

4 Estas, pues, son las palabras que habló el SEÑOR acerca de Israel y de Judá.

5 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: Hemos oído voz de temblor; espanto, y no paz.

6 Preguntad ahora, y mirad si da a luz el varón; porque he visto que todo hombre tenía las manos sobre sus lomos, como mujer de parto, y se han tornado pálidos todos los rostros.

7 ¡Ah, cuán grande es aquel día! Tanto, que no hay otro semejante a él; y tiempo de angustia para Jacob; mas de ella será librado.

8 Y será en aquel día, dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, que yo quebraré su yugo de tu cuello, y romperé tus coyundas, y extraños no lo volverán más a poner en servidumbre,

Jeremías 30:1-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 30

This chapter contains a prophecy of the call and conversion of the Jews in the latter day; which being a matter of moment and importance, and that it might continue, and be read hereafter, it is ordered to be written in a book, Jer 30:1,2; the thing itself is expressed by a return from captivity to their own land, Jer 30:3; but previous to this there would be most dreadful times, as never were the like, Jer 30:4-7; yet there would be a deliverance from them, and from the yoke of the oppressor; when the Jews should serve the Lord God, and the true Messiah, Jer 30:8,9; of which deliverance and salvation they are assured in the strongest terms, though all other nations should be made an end of, among whom they were, Jer 30:10,11; and though their ease might seem to be desperate, Jer 30:12-17; nevertheless they should be brought into a very comfortable and happy estate; their city rebuilt; their offspring increased; and religious worship established; and, above all, the Messiah should be made known to them as their King and Priest, and they appear to be the Lord's covenant people, Jer 30:18-22; and the chapter is concluded with threatening utter destruction to the wicked, Jer 30:23,24.
