Contextual Overview

18 This is what the Lord said: "I will soon make the tents of Jacob's people as they used to be, and I will have pity on Israel's houses. The city will be rebuilt on its hill of ruins, and the king's palace will stand in its proper place. 19 People in those places will sing songs of praise. There will be the sound of laughter. I will give them many children so their number will not be small. I will bring honor to them so no one will look down on them. 20 Their descendants will be as they were in the old days. I will set them up as a strong people before me, and I will punish the nations who have hurt them. 21 One of their own people will lead them; their ruler will come from among them. He will come near to me when I invite him. Who would dare to come to me uninvited?" says the Lord . 22 "So you will be my people, and I will be your God." 23 Look! It is a storm from the Lord ! He is angry and has gone out to punish the people. Punishment will come like a storm crashing down on the evil people. 24 The Lord will stay angry until he finishes punishing the people. He will stay angry until he finishes the punishment he planned. When that day comes, you will understand this.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And ye shall be my people,.... For many hundred years the people of the Jews have been called "Loammi" or, "ye are not my people", Hosea 1:9; but now being converted, the covenant of God's grace shall be renewed, and a fresh manifestation and application of it made unto them; and they partaking of the grace of it, shall appear to be, and shall be, called the people of God, and shall behave as such, and fear and worship the Lord:

and I will be your God; will manifest his love to them, bestow his favours upon them, and take them under his care and protection. This is a summary of the covenant of grace, which will visibly take place when those people shall turn to the Lord, Romans 11:26.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet speaks of Judah as the type of the Church, with Immanuel as her king.

Jeremiah 30:18

tents - The word suggests that a considerable portion of the people were still nomads.

The city ... the palace - Or, each city ... each palace. The heap means an artificial mount to keep the city out of the reach of inundations, and to increase the strength of the fortifications.

Shall remain after the manner thereof - Rather, shall be inhabited according to its rights, i. e., suitably.

Jeremiah 30:19

Them - i. e., the city and palace. Render the last words, become few become mean, i. e., despised, lightly esteemed.

Jeremiah 30:21

Translate, And his glorious one shall spring from himself, and his ruler shall go forth from his midst ... who is this that hath pledged his heart, i. e., hath staked his life, to dealt near unto Me? i. e., “Messiah shall be revealed to them out of their own midst.” He can draw near unto God without fear of death, because being in the form of God, and Himself God, He can claim equality with God Philippians 2:6.

Jeremiah 30:22

This is the effect of Messiah’s ministry. Men cannot become God’s people, until there has been revealed one of themselves, a man, who can approach unto God, as being also God, and so can bridge over the gulf which separates the finite from the Infinite.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 30:22. Ye shall be my people — The old covenant shall be renewed.
