Contextual Overview

1The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, 2"Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. 3For behold, days are coming,' declares Yahweh, ‘when I will return the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' Yahweh says, ‘I will also cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'" 4Now these are the words which Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah: 5"For thus says Yahweh,‘We have heard a sound of trembling,Of dread, and there is no peace. 6Ask now, and seeIf a male can give birth.Why do I see every manWith his hands on his loins, as a woman in childbirth?And why have all faces turned pale? 7Alas! For that day is great,There is none like it;And it is the time of Jacob's distress,But he will be saved from it. 8‘And it will be in that day,' declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘that I will break his yoke from off your neck and will tear off your bonds; and strangers will no longer make them their slaves. 9But they shall be a slave to Yahweh their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel,.... Who is their covenant God; has not forgotten them; still has a regard for them; and speaks after the following comfortable manner concerning them:

saying, write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book; being things of consequence, that they might remain to after ages; and be read to the use, comfort, and edification of the Lord's people, in times to come; and be a support to their faith and hope, as well as be a testimony of the truth and faithfulness of God. Some think this charge refers to all the prophecies that go before, as well as follow after, to put them all together in a book or roll, that they might be preserved; though others think it refers only to the present prophecy; and so Kimchi interprets it, write all the words "that I am now speaking unto thee" o in a book; which should come to pass in the latter day. So John is bid to write in a book what he saw; the things that are, and shall be hereafter, Revelation 1:11.

o אשר דברתי אליך "quibus alloquor te", Junius Tremellius "quae locutus fuero ad te", Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Write ... in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel.

All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 30:2. Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. — The book here recommended I believe to be the thirtieth and thirty-first chapters; for among the Hebrews any portion of writing, in which the subject was finished, however small, was termed ספר sepher, a BOOK, a treatise or discourse.
